  • Case Study: Providing Orkdal Municipality in Norway a Unified Bas Interface
    CASE STUDY: PROVIDING ORKDAL MUNICIPALITY IN NORWAY A UNIFIED BAS INTERFACE METASYS INTEGRATION WITH S-E SMARTSTRUXURE AND BACNET: N2 ROUTER ABOUT THE CUSTOMER Schneider Electric Norway had a very successful project last year. Using the value proposition of the S4 Open:BACnet- N2 Router, and the case study created for that earlier project, they leveraged their success to win another energy performance contracting project for the public buildings, schools, and nursing homes within the Orkdal municipality. Orkdal municipality in Sør-Trøndelag County, 40 km from Norway’s 3rd largest city Trondheim, has a population of 11,906 people. Orkdal was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 . On 1 July 1920, the port of Orkanger (population: 1,715) and the southern district of Orkland (population: 1,760) were separated from Orkdal to form separate municipalities. On 1 January 1963, the municipalities of Orkanger, Orkland, and Geistadt were merged with Orkdal to form a new, larger municipality of Orkdal. Joran Bugten, Service Engineer working on the project reported, “After the first one, this project became a lot easier. I could use my experience on this, and we solved it with more efficiency, less working hours also.” Project Requirements A primary requirement was to deliver a uniform Building Management System for all the public buildings in the municipality in order to improve operational efficiency through uniform training and procedures for all municipal buildings. Consistency and ease of operation help generate energy savings - which was the primary goal for the overall project. Automation and energy management and monitoring technology, along with the requisite training and support services, were required to maximize energy savings Two of the municipality’s buildings contained legacy JCI Metasys® systems and were included in this project phase.

  • Draft Concept Paper: World Heritage Site Manager Workshop, Denmark 21 24 April 2009 Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit
    Draft Concept Paper: World Heritage Site Manager Workshop, Denmark 21 24 April 2009 Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit The Heritage Agency of Denmark has generously decided to host a workshop on the Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit (EoH). Representatives from all the Nordic sites are invited to attend. Nordic World Heritage Foundation will in cooperation with the Danish authorities organize this workshop in April 2009. The workshop is a result of the recommendations from the Periodic Reporting process. 1. Background and objectives The European Periodic Report was submitted to the World Heritage Committee at its 30th meeting in Vilnius 2006. The Nordic Baltic sub-regional report, annexed to the regional report, identifies a number of challenges for the implementation of the World Heritage Convention in the sub-region. Periodic Reporting is widely recognised as an important tool to strengthen and maintain the integrity and credibility of the World Heritage concept. The Periodic Reporting process has so far been successful in developing international cooperation and in providing an account of the status of World Heritage sites. This workshop follows the recommendations from the meeting between the Nordic and Baltic States Parties in 2007 (see Annex I Recommendations from the meeting on Periodic Reporting, Helsinki 3-4 May 2007 no: 6, 7 & 12). The World Heritage Committee will examine the Periodic Reporting follow-up activities for the European region at its 34th session in 2010. The Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit contains twelve practical tools. Although it has been developed with a focus on natural properties, the initiative also has potential value as a tool to assist site managers of cultural properties.

  • Tectonic Features of an Area N.E. of Hegra, Nord-Trøndelag, and Their Regional Significance — Preliminary Notes by David Roberts
    Tectonic Features of an Area N.E. of Hegra, Nord-Trøndelag, and their regional Significance — Preliminary Notes By David Roberts Abstract Following brief notes on the low-grade metasediments occurring in an area near Hegra, 50 km east of Trondheim, the types of structures associated with three episodes of deformation of main Caledonian (Silurian) age are described. An outline of the suggested major stmctural picture is then presented. In this the principal structure is seen as a WNW-directed fold-nappe developed from the inverted western limb of the central Stjørdalen Anticline. A major eastlward closing recumbent syncline underlies this nappe-like structure. These initial structures were then deformed by at least twofur ther folding episodes. In conclusion, comparisons are noted between the ultimate fold pattern, the suggested evolution of these folds and H. Ramberg's experimentally produced orogenic structures. Introduction A survey of this particular area, situated north of the valley of Stjørdalen, east from Trondheim, was begun during the 1965 field-season and progressed during parts of the summers of 1966 and 1967 in conjunction with a mapping programme led by Statsgeolog Fr. Chr. Wolff further east in this same seg ment of the Central Norwegian Caledonides. Further geological mapping is contemplated, the aim being to eventually complete the 1 : 100,000 sheet 'Stjørdal' (rectangle 47 C). In view of the time factor involved in the comple tion of this work, and the renewed interest being devoted to the geological problems of the Trondheim region (Peacey 1964, Oftedahl 1964, Wolff 1964 and 1967, Torske 1965, Siedlecka 1967, Ramberg 1967), some notes on the tectonics of the Hegra area would seem appropriate at this stage.

  • Competitiveness of Train and Airport Express Bus Between the City of Trondheim and Trondheim Airport, Værnes
    Competitiveness of train and airport express bus between the city of Trondheim and Trondheim Airport, Værnes Szymon Adamski Civil and Environmental Engineering Submission date: June 2016 Supervisor: Eirin Olaussen Ryeng, BAT Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Civil and Transport Engineering NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL AND TRANSPORT ENGINEERING Report Title: Date: 10.6.2016 Competitiveness of train and airport express bus between the city of Number of pages (incl. appendices): 81 Trondheim and Trondheim Airport, Værnes Master Thesis X Project Work Name: Szymon Adamski Professor in charge/supervisor: Eirin O. Ryeng (main supervisor), Trude Tørset (co-supervisor) Other external professional contacts: Erlend Dysvik (NSB), Ida Rossvoll Hanssen (NSB) Abstract: In order to develop a better transportation corridor between the city of Trondheim and the town of Steinkjer in Sør- Trøndelag county, Norway a number of infrastructure investments will be made. Among them a double track railway will be built between Trondheim Central Station and Trondheim Airport, Værnes. The new railway infrastructure between the city center and the airport together with enhanced NSB’s (Norwegian State Railways’) service is going to improve the ground access at Værnes Airport significantly, even though two major airport express bus services are well established in the city. The goal of this study was, thus, to examine how big market share of the airport ground access will the new train service have on the route the city of Trondheim-Værnes Airport compared to the airport express buses. The investigated hypothesis was, if the train service would actually have such big market as NSB’s forecast predicts.

    Tilleggsavtale til Byvekstavtalen mellom kommunene Trondheim, Melhus, Malvik og Stjørdal, Trøndelag fylkeskommune og Staten v/Samferdselsdepartementet og Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet 1. Bakgrunn og formål Staten v/Statens vegvesen, Jernbanedirektoratet og Fylkesmannen i Trøndelag, Trondheim kommune, Melhus kommune, Malvik kommune, Stjørdal kommune og Trøndelag fylkeskommune har forhandlet fram en tilleggsavtale til byvekstavtalen for Trondheimsområdet for perioden 2020- 2029, jf. vedlegg datert 20. mars 2020. Staten v/Samferdselsdepartementet og Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet, Trondheim kommune, Melhus kommune, Malvik kommune, Stjørdal kommune og Trøndelag fylkeskommune inngår med dette tilleggsavtale til byvekstavtalen for Trondheimsområdet for perioden 2020-2029 i tråd med vedlagte dokument.
