  1. 1. Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sandra Lujic; [2023-08-18]
    Keywords : Older adults; urban outdoor environments; behaviour; preferences; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including the older population, are more likely to be affected by adverse health effects due to heat exposure. READ MORE

  3. 2. Pedestrian movement and exposure to heat stress in Gothenburg, Sweden

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Madeleine Cleverstam Vikström; [2023-06-22]
    Keywords : urban climate; heat stress; Space Syntax; pedestrian movement; urban morphology;

    Abstract : An area in Gothenburg, Sweden, representing various planning designs and microclimates, were investigated, in order to estimate how the study area manifests potential pedestrian movement patterns and urban climate conditions in terms of heat stress. The study is based on the Geographical Information System (GIS) where pedestrian movement and heat stress is calculated. READ MORE

    Abstract : The global use of energy increases every day and to meet the growing demand, energy sources are constantly being developed to become more efficient and reliable. During the last decade, the global solar photovoltaics (PV) capacity has increased every year and in 2017, solar PV was the global leading power source of renewable energy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Användning av krävande ballastmaterial vid betongtillverkning - En laborativ utvärdering av absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användning av glimmerrik bergkross och återvunnen betong som ballast

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Anna Hagberg; Andreas Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Absorption inhibitor; admixtures; aggregate; biotite; calorimetry; compressive strength; concrete; heat development; mica; recycled concrete; workability; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. READ MORE
