  1. 6. 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. 7. Exploring climate impacts of timber buildings : The effects from including non-traditional aspects in life cycle impact assessment

    Författare :Diego Peñaloza; Magnus Wålinder; Matty Janssen; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment LCA ; timber buildings; biobased building materials; low-energy buildings; forest products; climate impact assessment; biogenic emissions; carbon storage; timing of emissions; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : There is an urgency within the building sector to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. An increased proportion of biobased building materials in construction is a potential measure to reduce these emissions. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Hus och gård i förändring : Uppländska herrgårdar, boställen och bondgårdar under 1700- och 1800-talens agrara revolution

    Författare :Göran Ulväng; Mats Morell; Dan Bäcklund; Christer Persson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : The thesis is about what the buildings at manor estates, vicarages and farms looked like and how they changed during the agrarian revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. Through new clearings, mechanisation, land partition, and increased work distribution and specialisation, production increased vigorously during the period, which generally caused an increase in prosperity and lay the foundation for the subsequent industrial revolution.

  5. 9. Improvement of Thermal Comfort in Buildings through Passive Design

    Författare :Marcelino Januário Rodrigues; Byggnadskonstruktion; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Buildings; Sustainability; Energy Efficiency; Passive Design; Orientation; Shading; Ventilation; Materials; Temperatures; Thermal Comfort; Simulations; Retrofitting; Hot Humid Regions.;

    Sammanfattning : In hot humid regions the high outdoor temperature has negative effects on the indoor temperature of buildings that are not designed to cope with the local climate. This leads to discomfort for the occupants. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden, buildings are responsible for about 40 % of total energy use and about 10 % of total CO2 emissions Today more than 60 % of existing Swedish residential buildings are over 40 years old and are in need of major renovation. In addition, 15 % of all multi-family buildings and 27 % of all single-family houses were built before 1945. LÄS MER
