  1. 1. The role of Swedish single-family dwellings in the electricity system - The importance and impacts of solar photovoltaics, demand response, and energy storage

    Författare :Emil Nyholm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electricity system models; Electric space heating; Batteries; Demand response; Single-family dwellings; Demand side management; Optimization; Solar photovoltaics; Distributed generation;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the role Swedish single-family dwellings can play in the electricity system. Both through becoming electricity producers through the use of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and the possibilities of demand response (DR) and energy storage in combination with this, and through the DR of electric space heating in the dwellings.

  3. 2. District Heating for Residential Areas with Single-Family Housing -with Special Emphasis on Domestic Hot Water Comfort

    Författare :Tommy Persson; Energihushållning; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; low heat density; District heating; single-family housing; domestic hot water comfort; domestic hot water control; heat losses; supply temperature; thermostatic valves; Energiforskning; Energy research; marketing strategies; market penetration;

    Sammanfattning : The concept of district heating (DH) involves centralised heat production where heat is distributed to consumers via a piping network. It is essential that benefits achieved from concentrated, large-scale production instead of local production in each building exceed the costs associated with heat distribution. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Capacity-controlled Ground Source Heat Pump Systems for Swedish single-family dwellings

    Författare :Hatef Madani; Per Lundqvist; Joachim Claesson; Jose Miguel Corberan Salvador; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heat Pump; Capacity control; ground; ground source; geothermal;

    Sammanfattning : The overall objective of this thesis is to develop a structured method to approach the challenge of better understanding the techniques and potential for capacity control in Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems used in Swedish single-family dwellings. This thesis aims at development of a generic model of the system that can be used for comparative, descriptive, and predictive analysis of capacity controlled GSHP systems in single-family dwellings.

  5. 4. Smart Homes and User Values : Long-term evaluation of IT-services in Residential and Single Family Dwellings

    Författare :Greger Sandström; Ulf Keijer; Brian Atkin; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; accessibility; developer; dwelling; construction process; evaluation; home; housing; information technology; intelligent building; long-term; model; post-occupancy evaluation; resident; service delivery; smart home; trust; usability; usefulness; user; user evaluation; user experience; user value; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Sammanfattning : Do residents find value in smart home functions? How should these functions be designed to offer user benefit? These were the governing questions of this study that involved nearly 200 families in three different housing projects during five years of occupancy. The housing units were equipped with advanced smart homes solutions, electronic and digital devices to control them, and a set of functions to increase comfort, safety and security in the homes.

  7. 5. A multi-method assessment to support energy efficiency decisions in existing residential and academic buildings

    Författare :Shoaib Azizi; Thomas Olofsson; Gireesh Nair; Olga Kordas; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; residential dwellings; institutional buildings; sustainability; energy renovation; adoption of technology; decision-making; smart solutions; ICT; IoT; sustainability; hållbarhet;

    Sammanfattning : Rapid decarbonization of building stock is essential for the energy transition required to mitigate climate change and limit the global temperature rise below 1.5 °C. The decision-making for the adoption of energy efficiency measures (EEMs) is often complex and involves lasting consequences and risks. LÄS MER
