Textile Shading Facades as an Energy Retrofit Strategy: Case Study of the Cefla Office Building

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 4-5, Page 274-279, October 2026.
Abstract Lightweight textile membranes have increasingly been adopted in facade retrofit applications due to their minimal self‐weight, high prefabrication potential and capacity to function as external solar filters. In office buildings characterized by extensive glazed facades, excessive solar gains contribute to overheating, glare and elevated ...

The Ecological U‐Turn in Nordic Forestry: Policy Learning, Measurement, and the Retrenchment of Ecological Ambitions

Environmental Policy and Governance, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1320-1332, October 2026.

Laboratory Study of the Dynamics of a Pollutant Within a City Block During Urban Flooding

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract During urban flooding, pollutants from point releases (e.g., sewer overflows) transported in street runoff can invade city blocks, exposing residents to contamination risks. The present laboratory study focuses on the intrusion of pollutants from flooded streets into a porous city block under steady flow conditions.
