1. Kommuners roller och samhällsplaneringens betydelse i energi- och klimatomställningen : En flerfallstudie om utvecklingen i bebyggelse- och transportsektorerna i Alingsås och Västerås 1990-2014
Sammanfattning : De av människan påverkade globala klimatutmaningarna ställer krav på förändrade förhållningssätt och åtgärder inom alla sektorer och samhällsnivåer. Internationella klimatmål och -åtaganden behöver kompletteras med aktiviteter och åtgärder på såväl nationell som lokal nivå som styr stads- och samhällsutvecklingen i en mer klimatmässigt hållbar riktning, vilket i hög grad påverkas av vår användning av energi.

2. Building-related renewable electricity production with storage and energy-efficient buildings : Exploring barriers, drivers and quality assurance
Sammanfattning : There is a need to reduce unsustainable use of fossil fuels. Increased usage of renewable energy by combined use of photovoltaic solar panels (PV) with battery storage is one way. Another way is to increase awareness of energy usage and reduce the energy performance gap by building energy-efficient buildings. LÄS MER
3. Management control for sustainability : Activities and procedures for energy management in industrial companies
Sammanfattning : The thesis takes its point of departure in the important role of the industrial sector in mitigating climate change through a reduced energy use. There is a lack of understanding for how energy management should be organised and implemented in industrial companies. LÄS MER
4. Industrial energy efficiency improvement – the role of policy and evaluation
Sammanfattning : At EU and to a varying degree at Member State (MS) level, industrial energy efficiency improvement (EEI) is considered an attractive means for reaching political objectives of different dimensions, not least environmental. For energy-intensive manufacturing industry in particular, EEI can lead to cost reductions, improved profitability and competitiveness. LÄS MER
5. Non-Energy Benefits of Industrial Energy Efficiency : Roles and Potentials
Sammanfattning : Climate and environmental targets place significant requirements on energy efficiency and improved industrial energy efficiency is viewed as one of the most important means of reducing CO2 emissions and mitigating climate change. Even though efforts have been undertaken to improve energy efficiency there is still the potential for further improvements to be made. LÄS MER
