6. Building Retrofit using Vacuum Insulation Panels: Hygrothermal Performance and Durability
Sammanfattning : Many old buildings have unsatisfactory thermal performance compared to the standards of today. One way to increase the thermal performance is to add thermal insulation to the building envelope. However, many old buildings are listed and considered to be valuable for historical and esthetic reasons. LÄS MER
7. Radiation properties of coil-coated steel in building envelope surfaces and the influence on building thermal performance
Sammanfattning : Recent studies have shown that the optical properties of building exterior surfaces are important in terms of energy use and thermal comfort. While the majority of the studies are related to exterior surfaces, the radiation properties of interior surfaces are less thoroughly investigated. LÄS MER
8. Energy efficiency and carbon dioxide mitigation in building stocks-
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the implementation of energy-saving measures (ESM) in existing building stocks from an energy systems perspective. The effects of the measures are assessed in terms of net and delivered energy levels, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and the costs for implementing the measures. LÄS MER
9. Influence of building envelope on indoor air quality: Field measurements, analysis, and method development related to indoor odors
Sammanfattning : The ventilation system should provide occupants with fresh air while removing excess pollutants from the building. However, increasing ventilation may inadvertently draw more pollutants into the occupant area or prove ineffective in altering emission rates from building materials and furnishings. LÄS MER
10. Industrial Construction Methods for Cost-Effective and Sustainable Multi-Storey Buildings
Sammanfattning : Reduction of the cost of construction is a constant goal for the building industry. One way of reducing the construction cost of buildings is to develop building technologies that will give increased productivity. Reduced construction time at the building-site and waste of materials and resources contribute to furtherreduction of the costs. LÄS MER
