  1. 21. Assessing the relation between temperature buffering, soil moisture, and canopy cover in a Swedish coniferous forest

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Mark Van der Keijl; [2023]
    Keywords : Temperature buffering; forest microclimate; soil moisture; canopy cover; forest management; Sweden;

    Abstract : Forests buffer temperature extremes through processes such as canopy shading, wind speed reduction, and evapotranspiration. As a result, microclimates are formed within forests whose climatic conditions are distinctly different from the surrounding macroclimate. READ MORE

  3. 22. Reversible windows for energy savings : Computer simulations using IDA-ICE software

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Aitor Latasa Galíndez; Germán Mestre Manrique; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal comfort; solar; transmittance; heat; cooling; reversible windows; IDA-ICE; energy; savings; winter; summer;

    Abstract : This study looks at how reversible windows can minimize cooling and heating energy use while maintaining thermal comfort in buildings in Sweden and Spain. The growing need for energy-efficient structures and the potential advantages of reversible windows served as the driving forces behind this study. READ MORE

  4. 23. Modelling façade temperature using meteorological data

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erik Maesel; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Urbanization has increased drastically during the last century, and in 2007, the urban population exceeded that of the rural. Urban areas tend to be warmer than those of its surrounding due to the urban heat island effect (UHI) which can bring harmful effects to people living in urban areas. READ MORE

  5. 24. Energy Neutral User Equipment : powering cellular IoT applications using energy harvesting

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Tomas Lorenzo Henriques Vazquez; [2022]
    Keywords : Energy harvesting; Vibration energy harvesting; Energy neutral; Internet of Things; Autonomous systems; Power management; Low Power Wide Area Networks; LTE-M; NB-IoT; Energiskördning; Vibrationsenergiskörd; Energineutral; Sakernas internet; Autonoma system; Energihantering; Lågenerginätverk med lång räckvidd; LTE-M; NB-IoT;

    Abstract : With the rise in the number of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, there is also an increase in the number of batteries being used to power these connected devices. The lifespan of IoT devices is usually limited by how long their batteries last. READ MORE

  6. 25. Key Socioeconomic Factors for Domestic Solar Energy : An interdisciplinary analysis of the characteristics of photovoltaic and solar thermal installations in three Swedish municipalities

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Sofia Ekbring; [2022]
    Keywords : solar PV; photovoltaic; solar thermal; socioeconomic; demographic; influence; solceller; solvärme; solfångare; socioekonomisk; demografisk;

    Abstract : As a response to the increasing demand for renewable power, the solar photovoltaic (PV) market is growing fast. In addition to PV systems, the energy from solar radiation can be converted intoheat energy in solar thermal (ST) systems. READ MORE
