  1. 1. Habitat use and activity patterns of three Eulemur species in the forest and restoration areas of Ranomafana and Ankafobe, Madagascar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Nicole Scholte Lubberink; [2023]
    Keywords : fragmentation; anthropogenic deforestation; camera traps; occupancy modelling; detection probability;

    Abstract : Anthropogenic deforestation is a major threat to forest environments, as it leads to habitat loss and fragmentation. Many species suffer from these consequences due to reduced resource availability or connectivity. Forests in Madagascar have drastically been reduced in the past few centuries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Heating system performance and thermal mass evaluation of a former military building in mid-Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Javier Ruiz Pacheco; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal mass; District Heating; IDA-ICE; Sweden; C02 emissions;

    Abstract : The concern about global warming is gaining momentum. So, many initiatives, such as the Green European pact, which aims to reach to zero greenhouses emissions in 2050, are emerging to halt it. READ MORE

  4. 3. Energy Efficiency Potential of Occupancy-Based Control of Energy Systems in an Office Environment

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för tillämpad fysik och elektronik

    Author : Moa Mattsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Occupancy-based; Occupancy; Energy Efficiency Potential;

    Abstract : Energy efficiency of buildings is an important measure to obtain a reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases since the building sector currently emits 40% of the total emissions in the world. A modification of control systems within commercial buildings is shown in earlier research to have a possible energy saving. READ MORE

  5. 4. Preliminary analysis of the potential energy saving achievable with a predictive control strategy of a heat pump for a single family house

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

    Author : Giacomo Braida; Roberto Tomasetig; [2018]
    Keywords : heat pump system control; HVAC predictive rule-based control; weather forecast; occupancy behavior; internal gain; ambient temperature; perfect prediction;

    Abstract : The present work reports a study related to the potential improvement of the energy performances of a heat pump based heating system for a Swedish single-family house. The analysis is focused on the design of new rule-based control strategies which employ perfect predictions of weather forecast and human behaviour information. READ MORE

  6. 5. Weather data for heat pump system control improvement: analysis of instantaneous and forecasted measurements and evaluation of potential energy savings

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

    Author : Mattia Monteggia; [2018]
    Keywords : heat pump system control; HVAC predictive rule-based control; weather forecast; occupancy behavior; internal gain; ambient temperature; perfect prediction;

    Abstract : The present work deals with a study related to the analysis of weather data for heat pump system control improvement based on both instantaneous and forecasted measurements. In particular, the analysis is firstly focused on the comparison of multiple weather sources for the assessment of weather forecast uncertainties, based on the evaluation of errors in prediction with respect to measured values.
