  1. 1. Extensive green roofs in Porto Alegre, Brazil : Effect on indoor thermal comfort in residential buildings

    Författare :Lisandra Fachinello Krebs; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; Computer simulations; Extensive green roofs; Housing projects; Indoor thermal comfort; Leaf area index; Microclimate; Social housing; Sustainability; Thermal comfort;

    Sammanfattning : Brazil had a significant quantitative housing deficit of 7.7 million residences in 2015, especially in low-income housing. Traditionally, these projects have low levels of thermal insulation which can result in discomfort caused by warmth or cold. The residential sector is responsible for a significant part of the energy use in Brazil. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Simulated and observed change of precipitation and temperature in Europe with focus on the Greater Baltic Area

    Författare :Alexander Walther; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climatology; precipitation; temperature; extremes; thermal growing season; diurnal cycle; regional climate model;

    Sammanfattning : The regional climate of the Greater Baltic Area is complex and varies at a multitude of scales in space and time. This thesis contributes to increased understanding of climate change and climate variability in this area focusing on four significant research topics. Droughts have a considerable ecological and socio-economic impact. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Climate regulation provided by urban greening - examples from a high latitude city

    Författare :Janina Konarska; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gothenburg; Sweden; high latitude city; urban greenery; urban trees; leaf area index; tree transpiration; sky view factor; mean radiant temperature; hemispherical photography; climate-sensitive planning;

    Sammanfattning : Cities exert a strong influence on urban climate, and consequently on human health and wellbeing. This increases the importance of considering climate issues in urban planning, particularly in the context of global climate change. One of the key adaptation strategies in climate-sensitive planning is urban greenery. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Climate Change sensitivity of Photosynthesis and Respiration in Tropical Trees

    Författare :Myriam Mujawamariya; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Carbon dioxide; Climate change; Drought; Elevation gradient; Photosynthesis; Respiration; Tropical montane forest; Tropical trees; Warming;

    Sammanfattning : Tropical climate is getting warmer, with more pronounced dry periods in large areas. The productivity and climate feedbacks of future tropical forests depend on the ability of trees to acclimate their physiological processes, such as photosynthesis and leaf respiration, to these new conditions.

  7. 5. Biological growth on rendered façades

    Författare :Sanne Johansson; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; temperature; render; radiation; photosynthesis; moulds; mosses; mortar; moisture; lichens; Imaging-PAM; humidity; heat capacity; heat; ETICS; algae; biological growth; calorimetry; desiccation tolerance;

    Sammanfattning : Biological organisms have an incredible ability to adapt to almost any environment and the humans activities on earth have created many new habitats for different kinds of organisms. For example can certain organisms grow on rocks and vertical cliffs, and when humans started building houses with mineral based façades, some organisms found that these were new habitats to live on.
