  1. 11. Fractal and entropy analysis of traditional and modernist building facades in street-level view : the case of Sweden’s growing cities

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Alexis Ken Cartajenas; [2023]
    Keywords : fractal dimension; information entropy; street-level view; building façade; preference matrix;

    Abstract : This study presents a quantitative analysis of traditional and modernist building facades in urban environments, focusing on the assessment of their complexity and coherence. Fractal and entropy analysis techniques were employed to objectively evaluate the differences between the two architectural styles within the preference matrix framework. READ MORE

  3. 12. The ecological impact of artificial light at night in landscape architecture : strategies and guidelines for street lights for the benefit of biodiversity and local wildlife

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Zozan Altun; [2023]
    Keywords : light pollution; artificial light at night; ecology; biodiversity; local wildlife; landscape architecture; guidelines; strategies;

    Abstract : Artificial light at night (ALAN) is an increasingly common form of light pollution that contributes to biodiversity loss, loss of dark habitats, disrupting populations both on an individual- and population level by invading biodiversity hot spots. Recent studies show that artificial light is increasing at a rate of approximately 6% annually over Earth’s surface, and 88% of Europe and 47% of the United States experience light pollution on a nightly basis.

  4. 13. Road traffic noise simulations based on 3D city models

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Wenjing Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D city model; 3CIM; CNOSSOS-EU; noise simulation; city noise evaluation; data tailor; FME; SoundPLAN; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Urban development and densification cause noise problems that can have a negative impact on human health. In 2002, the European Union (EU) stated the European Noise Directive (END) with the purpose to evaluate environmental noise levels (including the sources road, railway, and air traffic) in the member states every 5 years.

  5. 14. Simulations of energy efficient windows in a historical building located in mid-Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Iñigo Medrano Eraso; [2023]
    Keywords : Amorphous silicon; photovoltaic; windows; Gävle townhall; thermal comfort; energy efficiency; solar panel windows; IDA ICE. ;

    Abstract : Amorphous silicon photovoltaic windows intend to not only improve thethermal bridge that windows represent but also to collect energy from theradiation incident on the windows themselves. This kind of windows can beapplied anywhere, however to maximize the benefit these can bring it isrecommended for sun-oriented façades. READ MORE

  6. 15. Reversible windows for energy savings : Computer simulations using IDA-ICE software

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

    Author : Aitor Latasa Galíndez; Germán Mestre Manrique; [2023]
    Keywords : Thermal comfort; solar; transmittance; heat; cooling; reversible windows; IDA-ICE; energy; savings; winter; summer;

    Abstract : This study looks at how reversible windows can minimize cooling and heating energy use while maintaining thermal comfort in buildings in Sweden and Spain. The growing need for energy-efficient structures and the potential advantages of reversible windows served as the driving forces behind this study. READ MORE
