1. 1. Assessing impacts of climate change on the energy and hygrothermal performance of detached houses in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för bygg- och miljöteknologi; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Najma Habibullah; Busra Duran; [2023]
   Keywords : Detached houses; Hygrothermal performance; Energy performance; Extreme weather conditions; Climate change; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Climate change is one of the most significant challenges that building sector is confronting. For example, Climate change and associated extreme events are posing a significant challenge for the building sector. Buildings should be prepared to withstand the climate changes and extreme weather that will happen in the future. READ MORE

   Abstract : Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. READ MORE

4. 3. Investigating the performance of hempcrete as an option for retrofitting masonry buildings

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

   Author : Henry Lanham; [2019]
   Keywords : Hempcrete; lime-hemp Miljöbyggnad; moisture safety; future climate; energy use; mould risk.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : One fifth of the energy consumed by buildings in Sweden is by those built before 1945, many of them constructed from solid masonry walls. Improving their heating energy consumption is a challenge we must face in light of human’s impact on climate change as well as increasing energy costs. READ MORE

5. 4. Future climate resilience of energy-efficient retrofit projects in central Europe

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

   Author : Jonas Manuel Gremmelspacher; Julija Sivolova; [2019]
   Keywords : Climate change; Future climate; Climate action; Building Performance Simulations; Hygrothermal Simulations; Moisture; Heating demand; Retrofit; Renovation; Building stock; Residential; Dwellings; Thermal envelope; Heating peak loads; Thermal comfort; Indoor environmental quality; Actual case studies; Big data; Denmark; Germany; Iterative workflow; Weather files.; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study assesses the performance of buildings affected by climate change under future climate predictions for three time-periods until the end of the 21st century. Objects studied are residential multi-storey buildings, originally built before 1970 and retrofitted during the last decade. READ MORE

6. 5. EVALUATION OF THE MOISTURE APPEARENCE IN THE ICE RINK FACILITIES BASED ON OBSERVATION STUDIES AND PERFORMED SIMULATIONS IN HYGROTHERMAL SOFTWARE

   University essay from KTH/Byggnadsteknik

   Author : Lukasz Kucharczyk; [2017]
   Keywords : Ice rink; WUFI; hygrothermal simulation; vapour barrier; moisture;

   Abstract : In the paper, there are presented issues related to the ice rink venues. These widely known objects,all around the world,are one of the most complex types of the public buildings. It is caused mainly by the thermal conditions, which prevails in such objects but also energy demand needed for operational processes. READ MORE
