1. 21. Policies for buildings energy efficiency : A case study of the Swedish policy mixregarding buildings' energy efficiency

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Gustav Brindeby; [2023]
   Keywords : policies; energy efficiency; buildings; regulation; subventions; packaging; patching; Policy; energi effektivisering; byggnader; lagar; subventioner; policy skapande;

   Abstract : Increased energy efficiency is of major importance for Sweden to reduce their carbon emissions and to reach self-sufficiency in Europe on energy, which is important both from an economic standpoint and also to lower Russia's political influence over the EU. This thesis explores how the Swedish policy mix regarding buildings' energy efficiency is developed and which logic dominates in policy-making. READ MORE

3. 22. The environmental benefits of relocating buildings

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

   Author : Harald Lidström; Anders Söderström; [2023]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : As the climate on earth deteriorates, actions are carried out within Europe to limit the amount of hazardous emissions to lower the environmental consequences due to greenhouse gases. A significant proportion of the emissions can be linked to the construction sector and its use of virgin resources. READ MORE

4. 23. ROOFTOP GREENHOUSES: Comparison between Farm builder and IDA ICE energy simulation software

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

   Author : Jean Claude Cyubahiro; [2023]
   Keywords : Rooftop greenhouses; Farm builder; IDA ICE; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Rapid global urbanization is a major concern for the food production system, as it is recognized that relying on conventional methods of distant large-scale farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key strategies to address this challenge is rooftop greenhouses (RTG), which are greenhouses built on unoccupied rooftops. READ MORE

5. 24. 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.

6. 25. Prioritizing Efficiency : Evaluating the Impact of Energy-Saving Measures in Commercial Buildings

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

   Author : Matilda Hallin; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This study systematically categorizes energy efficiency measures in buildings and evaluates their effectiveness in terms of energy savings, CO2e emissions reduction, and cost-effectiveness. It also explores the potential correlations between measure effectiveness and various building characteristics. READ MORE
