  1. 1. Vacuum insulation in buildings : Means to prolong service life

    Författare :Thomas I. Thorsell; Gudni Jóhannesson; Christer Sjöström; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vacuum insulation; thermal bridge; serpentine edge; coated film; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Vacuum insulation panels, VIPs, constitute a new insulation material, 6 to 8 times better than traditional insulation materials, which utilizes the positive influence vacuum has on the thermal properties of certain materials. A VIP is a composite with a flat core enclosed by an envelope preventing the core to fill with gas. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Building Retrofit using Vacuum Insulation Panels: Hygrothermal Performance and Durability

    Författare :Pär Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laboratory; retrofitting; interior insulation; listed building; field study; exterior wall; brick wall; numerical simulation; wooden beam ends; measurement; vacuum insulation panel; transient plane heat source; exterior insulation;

    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

    Sammanfattning : Today’s buildings are responsible for 40% of the world’s energy use and also a substantial share of the Global Warming Potential (GWP). In Sweden, about 21% of the energy use can be related to the heat losses through the climatic envelope. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Assessment of novel applications for nano-porous thermal insulation in district heating pipes and building walls

    Författare :Axel Berge; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Adaptive façade; nano-porous insulation; thermal insulation; district heating pipes; hybrid insulation;

    Sammanfattning : In nano-porous thermal insulation there is a strong relation between the pressure and the thermal conductivity, even at pressures close to atmospheric pressure. This thesis presents research on applications of nano-porous insulation in hybrid insulation district heating pipes and in building walls. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Promotion of sustainable renovation in the built environment : An early stage techno-economic approach

    Författare :Navid Gohardani; Folke Björk; Bo-Göran Hellers; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Refurbishment; retrofitting; renovation; energy consumption; Vacuum Insulation Panels; ACES;

    Sammanfattning : According to the Swedish Government's set targets for energy use and environmental quality imposed by the European Union, the total energy per heated unit area in residential and commercial buildings will have to be decreased by 20% in 2020 and 50% by 2050 in relation to the annual consumption of 1995. The building sector should additionally be completely independent of fossil fuels for energy usage, with the increasing sector of renewable energy continuously growing until 2020. LÄS MER
