• Title: Monitoring Progress Towards Climate Targets in European Housing Stocks
• Funded by: Intelligent Energy Europe
• Project timeframe: 2013 - 2016

The EPISCOPE project studied the energy refurbishment processes and energy consumption in the housing sector, aiming to meet climate protection targets in 16 countries. Working with SINTEF, we developed building typology datasets and scenario models for the national residential building stock in Norway, as a basis for forecasting CO2-emissions towards 2050. The project concluded in 2016.

• Project title: Environmental assessment of electric vehicle deployment pathways for Europe
• Funded by: Research Council Norway
• Project timeframe: October 2016 - December 2019

In this project, we are investigating the environmental implications of large-scale electric vehicle deployment in the passenger transport sector in Europe. We are mapping multiple factors, including future transport activities and the future electricity mix. Our resultant scenarios will guide European policy makers about optimal deployment pathway strategies.
