  1. 16. Permanent Fire Load of the Building Envelope

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Gizelle Danine Pondevida Jamero; [2023]
    Keywords : Permanent fire load; temporary fire load; fire load; building envelope; insulation; building content; upholstered furniture; heat of combustion; MCC; bomb calorimeter; cone calorimeter; room corner test.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. READ MORE

  2. 17. Exploring daylight in two different hemispheres.

    University essay from KTH/Ljusdesign

    Author : Carolina Borgia Stagnaro; [2023]
    Keywords : Daylight; Climate adaptation; Regenerative evolution; Sustainable development;

    Abstract : Daylight is an essential element for both the built and natural environment. A careful design that acknowledges daylight performance can improve energy efficiency and environment protection, thus making construction more sustainable. However, allocating time to deeply evaluate all the aspects in a project might be challenging. READ MORE

  3. 18. Community Continuity Management : An Exploration of the Energy Production and Use of a Fictional Stockholm Neighbourhood in a Crisis

    University essay from KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

    Author : Nils Brattgård; [2023]
    Keywords : Business Continuity Management; Community Continuity Management; Energy Community; Energy Resilience; Energy; Resilience; Preparedness; Adaptation; Wellness; Wellbeing; Blackout; Power Failure; High Impact Low Probability; Crisis; Disaster; Kontinuitetshantering; Community Continuity Management; Energigemenskap; Energiresiliens; Energi; Resiliens; Beredskap; Anpassning; Välmående; Välbefinnande; Strömavbrott; Elkris; High Impact Low Probability; Kris; Katastrof;

    Abstract : In an increasingly interconnected, and electricity-reliant world, households are asked to build up their resilience to crises. Local, distributed electricity production within a microgrid with capability to operate disconnected from the larger grid has been shown to be an effective tool for increasing power system resilience in the past.

  4. 19. Investigation of different ventilation profiles to avoid stratification in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Alazne Irene Varela Santana; [2023]
    Keywords : stratification; water model; comfort; mixing; temperature; potential energy; net zero energy building;

    Abstract : This research paper examines possible solutions for the problems that warm air heating is suffering in Nearly Zero Energy Buildings. These NZEBs are passive houses constructed to have high energy efficiency where the quantity of power used is equal to the power created annually, produced locally or in the surroundings by renewable energy sources.
