  1. 11. Building performance optimisation tools for the decarbonisation of Swedish buildings

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

    Author : Nadja Baden; Marziyeh Taghizadeh; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimisation; Parametric design; Decarbonisation; Renovation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change and reach Sweden’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, or at an earlier stage of 2030 for 23 Swedish cities, urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the building sector’s significant contribution to carbon emissions, a crucial aspect in achieving these goals is improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as most of these will still be in use by this time.
