1. 1. Low-energy buildings : energy use, indoor climate and market diffusion

   Författare :Johannes Persson; Stefan Grönkvist; Svend Svendsen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building energy simulations; energy efficiency gap; energy use; indoor climate; low-energy buildings;

   Sammanfattning : Low-energy buildings have, in recent years, gained attention and moved towards a large-scale introduction in the residential sector. During this process, national and international criteria for energy use in buildings have become stricter and the European Union has through the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive imposed on member states to adapt their building regulations for ‘Nearly Zero Energy Buildings’, which by 2021 should be standard for new buildings.

7. 5. Exergy Analysis in Buildings : A complementary approach to energy analysis

   Författare :Marco Molinari; Folke Björk; Gudni Jóhannesson; Ivo Martinac; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :Exergy; Energy; Building systems performance; Built environment.;

   Sammanfattning : Though mandatory to be pursued, improved energy efficiency is not the only target to reach. The quality of energy has to be assessed as well. Most of the overall energy use in residential building is for low temperature heat, i.e. LÄS MER
