1. Data-driven modelsfor estimating heatpump powerconsumption
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : The number of installed heat pumps has been rapidly increasing in recent years, acceleratingthe decarbonisation of the heating sector. The impact of the increasing deployment of heatpumps on the grid can be evaluated with the help of models estimating the heat pumppower consumption. READ MORE

2. Design of high performance buildings : Vulnerability of buildings to climate change from an energy perspective
University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnaderAbstract : The challenge of climate change is twofold: to mitigate (prevent) the causes of climate change and to prepare (adapt) to the inevitable effects and consequences. Building and construction are key sectors for decarbonisation (mitigation). READ MORE

4. District heating with small modular reactors utilising an adaptive α-value
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : Globally District Heating (DH) is, in large parts, produced in fossil fired heat plants, why finding “low” carbon or carbon-free alternatives is an important path towards the decarbonisation of the heat sector. With the emergence of Small Modular Reactors (SMR), heretofore economically unattractive nuclear commodities have become realities. READ MORE

5. Decarbonisation potential of multi-family Swedish Homes
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljöAbstract : Global warming is mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The building sector is responsible for a significant share of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Most of the existing buildings in Europe were built before 2001 and the vast majority will remain in place after 2050 when EU aims to achieve climate neutrality. READ MORE
