1. 1. Circular Construction : A Study of Reuse Practices in the Construction Industry from a Consultant´s Perspective

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE)

   Author : Johan Åberg; Jacob Foconi; [2023]
   Keywords : Reuse; Circular Economy; Construction Industry; Resource Use; Embodied Environmental Impact; Återbruk; Cirkulär Ekonomi; Byggbranschen; Resursanvändning; Inbäddad Miljöpåverkan;

   Abstract : In light of the need to reduce resource usage and mitigate the climate impact of the Swedish construction industry, the adoption of reusing secondary materials has gained significant attention as an alternative construction process. This approach not only addresses environmental concerns, but also aims to transition from the prevailing "make-take-waste" system of resource management. READ MORE

3. 2. How to turn “less bad” into good without limit : to measure companies’ positive climate impact

   University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

4. 3. Space Heat Power Demand for Existing Buildings : Feasibility, Improvement-Measures, and Impact on Climate Performance Using a Swedish Multi-Dwelling Building as Case Study

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Andreas Holmén; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The most commonly used indicators of energy performance of existing buildings in Sweden, Specific Energy Use (SEU) and Primary Energy Use (PEU), are very rough measures that does not account for short term effects and therefore they are not necessarily well suited to evaluate climate performance of existing buildings. In this thesis the similar but slightly different indicators Miljöbyggnad Heat Power Demand (MHPD) (Värmeeffektbehov in Swedish) and Feby Heat Loss Number (FHLN) (Värmeförlusttal in Swedish), both indicators of Space Heat Power Demand (SHPD), has been evaluated as complementary indicators to SEU and PEU.

5. 4. Designing an application to improve cloning of BIM drawings - a feasibility study

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för visuell information och interaktion

   Author : Alexander Fors; [2022]
   Keywords : Tekla; C#; API; prototyping; requirements engineering; cloning; drawings; BIM;

   Abstract : Construction drawings have gotten a lot more sophisticated through the years. Most companies today use Building Information Modeling (BIM) which is the process of creating a digital representation of physical places. These models save time and reduce the risk of errors during the construction process, but are time-consuming to create. READ MORE

6. 5. An indicative case-control study of noise perception due to environmental noise sources

   University essay from KTH/Marcus Wallenberg Laboratoriet MWL

   Author : Marcus Johansson ; [2020]
   Keywords : Noise perception; Psychoacoustics; Environmental noise; Bullerpåverkan; Psykoakustik; Samhällsbuller;

   Abstract : The subject of the thesis was proposed by the acoustic consultancy firm Brekke & Strand, which is of relevance for their additional understanding and development of services and contribution to robust solutions. The aim with this thesis is to give indicative results and to dig deeper into the relation between environmental noise and the perception of the same, specially focusing on construction related noise but also permanent noise sources that originates from infrastructure.
