  1. 1. Energy audit of a single-family house in a city in the middle of Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Daniela Valentina García Gimeno; [2023]
    Keywords : energy audit; building energy efficiency; building envelope; renewable sources; windows efficiency; insulation of houses in Sweden;

    Abstract : The world is currently submerged in two big problems: supply energy crisis and climate change. It is clear that society has to do its best to overcome these challenges, and one effective way to mitigate their effects is by conducting an energy audit, which helps to identify the weaknesses and strengths of the buildings, enabling improvements in their thermal efficiency.

  4. 3. Investigation of impact of detached house buildings orientation on energy saving result of renovation scenarios and energy generation of installed PV panels in Växjö

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggd miljö och energiteknik (BET)

    Author : Hassan Ali; [2023]
    Keywords : Detached; single-family house; energy measure; simulation; heat demand energy; archetype; renovation; PV electricity generation.;

    Abstract : Most of the detached houses in Sweden were built more than 30 years ago, and most of them are oldand need a deep renovation. The renovation is an excellent opportunity to apply the energy measure witha combination of renewable energy such as PV solar, which could be a great option to reduce energyconsumption and contribute to reducing greenhouse emissions.
