1. 11. A Rational Exergy Management Model to Curb CO2 Emissions in the Exergy-Aware Built Environments of the Future

   Författare :Siir Kilkis; Folke Björk; Bahram Moshfegh; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Exergy; CO2 emissions; built environment; buildings; energy system; scenario-based analysis; mitigation strategies; net-zero; LEED; energy transition; transition management; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis puts forth the means of a strategic approach to address a persistent problem in the energy system and in this way, to transition the built environment to a future state that is more exergy-aware to curb CO2 emissions. Such a vision is made possible by the six-fold contributions of the research work: I) An analytical model is developed, which for the first time, formulates the CO2 emissions that are compounded in the energy system as a function of the systematic failures to match the supply and demand of exergy.

3. 12. Heritagisation of built environments : a study of the urban transformation in Kiruna, Sweden

   Författare :Jennie Sjöholm; Krister Olsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; Arkitektur;

   Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis is part of a larger case study that examines the built cultural heritage in Kiruna’s urban transformation. The research study presupposes it is necessary to address cultural significance of the built environment in urban planning practice. LÄS MER

4. 13. 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

5. 14. Vibrations in a Built Environment : Prediction and Reduction

   Författare :Peter Persson; Byggnadsmekanik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration reduction; finite element method; coupled problems; vibration measurements; wave propagation; ground vibration; soil dynamics; wave barrier; shaped landscape; soil stabilisation; liquid-filled pipes; model order reduction;

   Sammanfattning : Vibrations in a built environment can exceed the requirements for sensitive equipment in a building or can cause annoyance to residents. Hence, there is often a need for reducing such vibrations. The vibrations can originate from ambient sources such as motorway traffic, or from internal sources such as people walking inside the building. LÄS MER

7. 15. Energy efficiency measures in the built environment - some aspects to consider in Sweden

   Författare :Mattias Gustafsson; Björn O. Karlsson; Mats Rönnelid; Louise Ödlund; Jan-Olof Dalenbäck; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; primary energy; energy efficiency; district heating; building regulations; electric meter; low-voltage distribution networks; electric vehicles; primärenergi; energieffektivitet; fjärrvärme; byggregler; elmätare; elnät; elfordon; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

   Sammanfattning : The traditional energy system as we know it today will change in the future. There is a worldwide concern about the global warming situation and there are different actions implemented to limit the consequences from, mainly, the use of fossil fuels. LÄS MER
