    • Analyse av beregningsverktøy i 3D-modell med fokus på VVS-prosjektering 

      Bjørnå, Robert Borch (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2024-05-14)
      Grunnet økt press om å redusere klimagassutslippene i Norge, stilles det stadig strengere krav til energiforbruket til bygg. Når 80% av energibruken i norske bygg går til romoppvarming og varmtvann, er det tydelig at godt planlagte og utførte VVS-anlegg er sentralt for å nå de overordnede klimamålene. Ettersom bruk av BIM er utbredt i den norske byggenæringen, er det av interesse å undersøke mulighetene ...
