  4. 3. Innovation in Industrial Building Sustainability : Exploring timber frames as a viable alternative to steel frames in industrial buildings A case study of Sweco AB

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

    Author : Kiavosh Saidi Mosanen; Ibrahim Mohamed Fathi Taha; [2023]

    Abstract : Lund University (2020) describes that the material chosen for the construction of constructions significantly affects the environment. Due to the impact of the choice of construction materials on the environment, we have carried out an in-depth study where we examine the complex decision-making process when choosing frame materials concerning both external and internal factors where external influences become regulatory requirements related to global sustainability goals with the aim that the industrial construction industry can find sustainable solutions such as hybrid solutions in the choice of frame materials, while internal factors involve financial considerations linked to the protection of materials against environmental conditions and challenges that industrial buildings can face.

    Abstract : I denna uppsats analyseras bostadsområdet Norra Kapellgärdet i Uppsala utifrån regenerativa designprinciper, baserade på teorier om regenerativ design samt exempel på tidigare projekt där regenerativ design tillämpats. För att en övergång mot ett verkligt hållbart stadsbyggande ska kunna ske kan det vara betydande att inte enbart fokusera på att minska skadan på miljön, utan istället skapa urbana projekt som ger positiva effekter på miljön och främjar en samevolution mellan mänskliga och ekologiska system.

    Abstract : Dagens skogsbruk har höga krav på sig, både i termer av att leverera råvara på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt och i att ta hänsyn till omkringliggande miljö. Skogsbruket bedrivs i regel med stora maskiner som hanterar tunga laster med virke och detta gör att man riskerar körskador. READ MORE
