    Sammanfattning : Rock materials, such as sand, gravel, and crushed rock, serve as the foundation of our society. Known collectively as aggregates, these materials are essential for building foundations, concrete, and roads, making them the second most extracted material globally after water. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Communicating the environmental characteristics of products: the use of environmental product declarations in the building, energy and automotive industries

    Författare :Karin Jönsson; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy industry; Environmental product information; Environmental communication; Automobile industry; Building industry;

    Sammanfattning : Environmental policy is shifting the focus from production processes to product-related issues. The provision and use of environmental information is generally considered an essential element in addressing the environmental impacts associated with the life cycle of products. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Assessment and optimization of life cycle enrgy use in buildings

  5. 4. Environmental Assessment of Building Products and Components in a Service Life Perspective

    Författare :Åsa Rimsjö; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a survey of different tools, used byenvironmental consultants in Sweden, for their recommendationsof building products and components in different constructionprojects. The goal was to identify possible improvements of thetools so that life cycle methodology could be used to a largerextent than today. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Life cycle assessment of electric vehicle batteries and new technologies

    Författare :Mats Zackrisson; Magnus Wiktorsson; Martin Kurdve; Christina Jönsson; Anders Nordelöf; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; life cycle assessment; LCA; electric vehicle; sustainability; eco-design; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Sammanfattning : Electrification of vehicles has for decades been explored as a possible solution to the problem of climate change. Today, in 2021, the issue is no longer whether the electrification of vehicle fleets ought to happen but rather how it can be achieved with as little environmental impact as possible. LÄS MER
