  3. 2. Life cycle assessment of a camera system : A case study at Veoneer

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Ahamed Wazeem; Dharshan Siddarth Mohan; [2023]
    Keywords : life cycle assessment LCA ; FLC2; mono camera system; environmental impact; impact categories.; livscyeklanalys LCA ; FLC2; monokamerasystem; miljöpåverkan; effektkategorier.;

    Abstract : With the growing number of cameras installed in automobiles for a safe driving experience, their environmental impact is relatively unknown and inevitably, the need to calculate its life cycle impact arises. Therefore, this study aims to conduct an attributional life cycle assessment (LCA) to determine the environmental impact of a mono camera system namely the Forward-Looking Camera -2 (FLC2) used in automobiles.

  4. 3. Environmental sustainability of a low-temperature heating system : A case study

    University essay from KTH/Byggteknik och design

    Author : Bogdan Kurasov; Ahmed Alchasov; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Nowadays, 40% of annual global CO2-emission is caused by the building sector. 27% of these emissions are coming from building operations and the main use of energy in buildings is heating. READ MORE

  5. 4. Life cycle assessment of timber high-rise building structures : Case study of a project examined in the context of French environmental regulation (RE2020)

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Corentin Le Gall; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The damages that the building sector does to the environment can no longer be ignored and need to be approached with a life cycle assessment (LCA). Advantages to build in wood and to build dense cities lead to a potential “two birds in one stone” effect regarding high-rise massive timber construction. READ MORE

  6. 5. Life-Cycle Assessment of Humidity Sensors printed with Forest-based Ink and Laser Graphitization

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)
