  1. 1. Geometric comparison of 3D city models for daylight simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Johannes Lande Nyborg; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; 3D city model; 3D building models; daylight access; daylight simulations; obstruction angle; free and open-source software; sustainable urban development; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. READ MORE

  3. 2. Why do considerable number of Swedish workplaces lack daylight?  Effects of obstruction angles in achieving required daylight in Swedish workplaces.

  4. 3. Biophysical differences between COPD, CF and healthy airways mucus.

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa och samhälle (HS)

    Author : Vladislav Genevskiy; [2020]
    Keywords : CF; COPD; mucus; structure;

    Abstract : An improved understanding of the mucus biophysical alteration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is a milestone towards a more accurate and effective treatment of these common and highly debilitating conditions. Little is known about the variations in mucus structure between ill and healthy individuals. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sensitivity analysis of important parameters affecting daylight - Assessment of a typical cellular office in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign
