1. 6. Feed-forward Control and Dynamic Modelling in Temperature Control of Buildings

   Författare :Mohsen Soleimani-Mohseni; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building models; state space models; feedback; thermostats; transfer function models; intelligent buildings; ON-OFF controllers; Feed-forward; PIL controllers;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is mainly about the investigations of different control strategies (and in particular feed-forward) in order to improve indoor climate and/or save energy in buildings. One part of the thesis deals with different ways to obtain dynamic models for climate systems in buildings. LÄS MER

3. 7. Mould on building materials - A calorimetric study of fungal activity as a function of environmental factors

   Författare :Yujing Li; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; materiallära; byggnadsteknik; building construction; fungal activity; temperature; relative humidity; building; image analysis; indoor environment; wood; materialteknik; material technology; mould; calorimetry; isothermal calorimeter;

   Sammanfattning : Mould problems in buildings have become a growing concern during the past decades. The growth of mould fungi indoors deteriorates air quality, influences human health and causes economical losses. Preventing mould growth from occurring is a more cost effective option than cleaning and renovation of buildings with mould problems. LÄS MER

4. 8. On protein structure, function and modularity from an evolutionary perspective

   Författare :Robert Pilstål; Björn Wallner; Maria Sunnerhagen; Mauno Vihinen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioinformatics; structure; biology; intrinsical; disorder; protein; sequence; evolution; mutation; epistasis; function; allostery; dynamics; simulation; prediction; graph; network; bioinformatik; struktur; biologi; strukturbiologi; intrinsiellt; oordnad; protein; sekvens; evolution; mutation; epistasis; funktion; allosteri; dynamik; simulation; prediktion; graf; nätverk;

   Sammanfattning : We are compounded entities, given life by a complex molecular machinery. When studying these molecules we have to make sense of a diverse set of dynamical nanostructures with wast and intricate patterns of interactions. LÄS MER

5. 9. Optimization of ground-coupled systems for heating and cooling of buildings

   Författare :Jüri Naumov; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; free-cooling; brine temperature; heat pump; ground system; heating demand; storage; building load; cooling demand; Borehole;

   Sammanfattning : The use of ground-coupled systems in commercial buildings offers economic as well as environmental advantages. When both heating and cooling is required, a ground-coupled system can function both as a heat source and a heat sink. At the same time, it can also serve as a short term as well as a seasonal storage. LÄS MER

7. 10. Advances in Thermal Insulation : Vacuum Insulation Panels and Thermal Efficiency to Reduce Energy Usage in Buildings

   Författare :Thomas Thorsell; Folke Björk; Mark Bomberg; Targo Kalamees; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Vacuum insulation panels; VIP; serpentine edge; thermal bridge; composite film; gas diffusion; defect dominated; holistic approach; building enclosure; integrated testing and modeling; energy equivalent; field performance; air flow; thermal insulation efficiency;

   Sammanfattning : We are coming to realize that there is an urgent need to reduce energy usage in buildings and it has to be done in a sustainable way. This thesis focuses on the performance of the building envelope; more precisely thermal performance of walls and super insulation material in the form of vacuum insulation. LÄS MER
