<strong>Lisø</strong>, K.R./ Building envelope performance in harsh climates: Methods for geographically dependent design<br />

Acknowledgements<br />

This <strong>PhD</strong> study has been carried out within the SINTEF research & development<br />

programme “Climate 2000 – Building constructions in a more severe climate” (2000-<br />

2007), strategic institute project “Impact of climate change on the built<br />

environment”. I gratefully acknowledge all construction industry partners and the<br />

Research Council of Norway (NFR reference no. 154002).<br />

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Carl Oscar Pedersen (Forsvarsbygg)<br />

and Åge Hallquist (former managing director of the Norwegian Building Research<br />

Institute) for believing in “Climate 2000” ever since I initiated the programme in the<br />

beginning of the year 2000. A lot of thanks also to all partners and colleagues who<br />

have contributed in making this programme one of the largest ongoing research<br />

programmes within the Norwegian construction industry.<br />

Finally, a special thanks to my co-authors, and to my supervisors and management<br />

team; professor Jan Vincent Thue and professor Tore Kvande.<br />
