  1. 11. Methodological aspects of environmental assessment of buildings

    Författare :Tove Malmqvist; Mauritz Glaumann; Göran Finnveden; Raymond J Cole; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; environmental assessment; buildings; tool; environmental performance; property management; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : The built environment contributes extensively to the overall environmental impact of society. An increasing number of tools have been developed worldwide for comprehensive environmental assessment and rating of buildings in order to make the building sector more sustainable. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Environmental, Resource and Health Assessments of Hard Materials and Material Substitution: The Cases of Cemented Carbide and Polycrystalline Diamond

    Författare :Anna Furberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Life cycle assessment; polycrystalline diamond; disability-adjusted life years; material flow analysis; machining tools; cemented carbide;

    Sammanfattning : The conventional hard material used in manufacturing industry, cemented carbide (WC-Co), mainly consists of the geochemically scarce elements tungsten and cobalt. This use of scarce resources could potentially be avoided by a material substitution to the more abundant and largely carbon-based material polycrystalline diamond (PCD). LÄS MER

  4. 13. Assessment of media and communication from a sustainability perspective

    Författare :Åsa Moberg; Göran Finnveden; Maria Enroth; Roland Clift; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electronic media; e-reading device; print media; newspaper; book; invoice; information and communication technology ICT ; environmental assessment; life cycle assessment LCA ; social life cycle assessment S-LCA ; sector analysis; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aims to assess potential environmental impacts of media and communication and to contribute to the development of methods for sustainability assessment. Although the main focus is on printed and electronic media products and environmental impacts, a broader sector analysis is also included and social aspects are discussed. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Spatial prediction tools for biodiversity in environmental assessment

    Författare :Mikael Gontier; Berit Balfors; Ulla Mörtberg; Davide Geneletti; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; EIA; SEA; Species distribution modelling; Habitat suitability modelling; Impact prediction; GIS; Urbanisation; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Human activities in the form of land use changes, urbanisation and infrastructure developments are major threats to biodiversity. The loss and fragmentation of natural habitats are great obstacles for the long term preservation of biodiversity and nature protection measures alone may not be sufficient to tackle the problem.

  7. 15. Method Development for Environmental Risk Assessment of Shipwrecks

    Författare :Hanna Landquist; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; environmental risk assessment; decision support; fault tree analysis; shipwreck;

    Sammanfattning : Potentially polluting shipwrecks containing oil or other hazardous substances may posea threat to the marine environment. This is a global problem and many shipwrecks stemfrom the Second World War and have been deteriorating on the sea floor since then. LÄS MER
