1. 1. 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.

3. 2. The influence of the built environment on the climate in different Swedish urban fabrics

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Reem Mutwali; [2023]
   Keywords : Urban heat island; Urban morphology; The urban weather generator;

   Abstract : The urban heat island effect is usually disregarded when considering energy-efficient measures for the built environment. This study aims to present and analyze the effect of the urban built environment on the Swedish urban climate. This analysis is done in terms of assessing the mean urban heat island and monthly average air temperature. READ MORE

4. 3. Wave Damping by Vegetation at Bunkeflo Salt Meadows - Applying an empirical model based on plant biomass

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

   Author : Charlie van Houwelingen; Timothy Ley; [2021]
   Keywords : Coastal protection; nature-based solutions; salt marshes; salt meadows; sea level rise; wave damping; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Future sea level rise due to climate change increases the risk of coastal flooding and thus necessitates the building of dikes and other protective structures. Coastal vegetation can reduce the impact of waves on such structures by dissipating wave energy and hence reduce incoming wave heights. READ MORE

5. 4. Numerical Investigation of the Near FieldZone Flow Behavior of Isothermal CornerImpinging Jet Ventilation Using CFD

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

   Author : Too-chukwu C. Ogbuagu; [2021]
   Keywords : Ventilation; Computational fluid dynamics;

   Abstract : Abstract The impinging jet ventilation's importance in providing better air distribution and energy-efficient operation, as well as both its heating and cooling flexibility potential cannot be overemphasized. This is because acceptable indoor air quality and its environmental conditions are essential to occupant’s wellbeing, comfort, productivity, and improved cognitive function. READ MORE

6. 5. The Impact of Late Design Choices on Daylight and Energy Use in Buildings

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

   Author : Oscar Bálint Palmgren; Duy Tan Tran; [2021]
   Keywords : Global Sensitivity Analysis; Parametric Design; Architecture; Building Engineering; Daylight; Energy Use.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Daylight analysis is often carried out when definitive decisions about space characteristics such as materials, colours, window characteristics and furnishing have not yet been made. Such late design choices, which are first introduced or can still be changed late in the design process or even after its conclusion, impact the daylight levels of interior spaces. READ MORE
