Recent Trends in Maintenance Costs for Façades Due to Air Pollution in the Oslo Quadrature, Norway
This study assesses changes since 1980 in the maintenance cost of the façades of the historical 17th to 19th century buildings of the Oslo Quadrature, Norway, due to atmospheric chemical wear, including the influence of air pollution.

Determining the U-Value of Façades Using the Thermometric Method: Potentials and Limitations
The thermal transmittance of building envelopes determines to a large extent the energy demand of buildings. Thus, there is a keen interest in having methods which can precisely evaluate thermal transmittance.

Mapping the Risk of Occurrence of Defects in Façades with Ceramic Claddings
When a building façade does not meet its performance requirements, the integrity and safety of the structure may be compromised, resulting in the reduction of the building’s service life.

Estimation of Damage Cost to Building Façades per kilo Emission of Air Pollution in Norway
This work reports marginal damage costs to façades due to air pollution exposure estimated “bottom up,” for Norway and Oslo (Norway) by the use of exposure response functions (ERFs) and impact pathway analysis from the emission to the deteriorating ...

Relief Method: The Analysis of Architectonic Façades by Fractal Geometry
This paper explores the working hypothesis that fractal patterns that closely match those found in nature are more likely to convey a strong sense of genius loci to humans by comparison with ‘Euclidean’ patterns that do not occur in nature frequently.

Risk Assessment of Falling Objects from Façades of Existing Buildings
Falling objects from façades often lead to serious accidents, which has become a technical problem to be solved urgently. This paper established a database of potential safety hazard of falling objects from façades via the statistics of detection façades
