  1. 26. Managing high environmental performance? : Applying life cycle approaches and environmental certification tools in the building and real estate sectors

    Författare :Nils W. O. Brown; Tove Malmqvist; Peter Guthrie; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Buildings; operational energy use; life cycle assessment; environmental certification; environmental assessment; renovation; strategy; design process; value creation; embodied environmental impacts; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The main aim of this thesis is  to demonstrate and critically assess life cycle approaches’ and environmental certification (EC) tools’ potential for supporting decisions for improved environmental performance in the building and real estate sectors.Using life cycle approaches, the thesis shows that for new build and renovation cases aiming for low operational energy use that embodied global warming potential (GWP) due to material production can constitute a large portion of a building’s lifetime GWP.

  3. 27. Life-Cycle Considerations for Environmental Management of the Swedish Railway Infrastructure

    Författare :Niclas Svensson; Mats Eklund; Tomas Kåberger; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Enviornmental management; railways; life cycle perspective; environmental pressures; material use; Miljöledning; järnvägar; livscykelperspektiv; miljöpåverkan; materialhantering; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Syftet med den här avhandlingen är att förbättra möjligheter till miljöledning av järnvägens infrastruktur genom att utveckla en metod för att rikta in ansträngningar på att minska miljöpåverkan från infrastrukturens produkter. Metodens används i ett byggprojekt och dess robusthet blir testad. LÄS MER

  4. 28. An Emerging Product Approach in Environmental Law: Incorporating the life cycle perspective

    Författare :Carl Dalhammar; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Trade and environment; Product regulation; IPP; Integrated product policy; Life cycle thinking; Environmental product policy; Environmental law; Miljörätt;

    Sammanfattning : One of the noticeable trends in recent years is that products have received increasing attention in environmental policy. The focus on products and their life cycle impacts is often referred to as ?life cycle thinking?. LÄS MER

  5. 29. System for Predictive Life cycle Management of Buildings and Infrastructures

    Författare :Daniel Hallberg; Christer Sjöström; Michel Lacasse; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life Cycle Management System; service life; performance-over-time; maintenance management;

    Sammanfattning : The Life Cycle Management System (LMS) aims at supporting decision-makers and engineers in their efforts to achieve a more optimised proactive life cycle design and maintenance management strategy. LMS is an open and integrative system, which has to be adapted and developed in order to meet the needs and requirements of users. LÄS MER

  7. 30. Addressing the complexity of sustainability-driven structural design: Computational design, optimization, and decision making

    Författare :Alexandre Mathern; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; integrated design; concrete structure; parametric design; structural engineering; finite element analysis; life cycle sustainability assessment; bridge; construction; civil engineering; multi-objective design optimization; wind turbine foundation;

    Sammanfattning : Being one of the sectors with the largest environmental burden and high socio-economic impacts sets high requirements on the construction industry. At the same time, this provides the sector with great opportunities to contribute to the globally pursued sustainability transition. LÄS MER
