  1. 1. The Non-Energy Benefits of Industrial Energy Efficiency : Investments and Measures

    Författare :Therese Nehler; Patrik Thollander; Elin Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial energy efficiency; energy efficiency measures; energy efficiency investments; non-energy benefits; compressed air;

    Sammanfattning : Improved industrial energy efficiency is viewed as an important means in the reduction of CO2 emissions and climate change mitigation. Various energy efficiency measures for improving energy efficiency exists, but even evaluated as cost-effective, there seems to be a difference between the energy efficiency measures that theoretically could be undertaken and which measures that actually are realised.

  3. 2. Low-hanging fruit : Measures to reduce fruit and vegetable waste at supermarkets

    Författare :Lisa Mattsson; Helén Williams; Casper Boks; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; food waste; retail; supermarket; fruit and vegetable; causes; measures; employees; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

    Sammanfattning : More than 30 percent of the food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally. This leads to a significant environmental impact in terms of inefficient use of natural resources, as well as economic costs and social and moral issues. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Mitigating Microplastics Pollution in Urban Water Systems : Flow, actors, and control measures

    Författare :Emma Fältström; Stefan Anderberg; Annica Carlsson; Hamse Kjerstadius; Lian Lundy; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Municipalities; Plastic; Pollutants; Preventive measures; Stormwater; Wastewater; Water treatment;

    Sammanfattning : Water pollution has long been considered a challenge in urban areas. Urban wastewater and stormwater act as transport pathways for pollutants from urban areas to receiving waters. Microplastics are a pollution problem of growing concern. LÄS MER

  5. 4. 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. 5. Pro-environmental travel behavior : The importance of attitudinal factors, habits, and transport policy measures

    Författare :Louise Eriksson; Jörgen Garvill; Annika Nordlund; Linda Steg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; value-belief-norm theory; car habit; policy specific beliefs; car use reduction; acceptability; behavioral adaptations; travel demand management measures; transport policy measures; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study determinants of a readiness for pro-environmental travel behavior in households. Four empirical studies were conducted examining reduction in car use (Study I), acceptability of transport policy measures (Study II and III), and behavioral adaptations in response to travel demand management (TDM) measures (Study IV).
