  1. 16. Assessing indoor environmental quality and occupant comfort in modern wood buildings with post-occupancy evaluation and building performance simulation

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

    Author : Henriikka Taipale; [2021]
    Keywords : Climate change; Post-occupancy evaluation; Building performance simulation; Residential; Wood buildings; Engineered wood products; Indoor environmental quality; Thermal comfort; Indoor air quality; Acoustics; Visual comfort; Case study; Denmark; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The European building sector is a source of significant negative environmental impacts, and large part of its carbon emissions can be attributed to heating, cooling and lighting of buildings – in other words, regulating buildings’ indoor environments. As people spend most of their lives indoors, there is a great challenge to create comfortable indoor environments, while also striving for further energy-efficiency and lower environmental impact.

  3. 17. Network analysis of delay propagation on Swedish railways

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Jacob Landelius; Elsa Wallgren; [2021]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Travel on railway in Sweden has increased steadily over the past three decades and there are today twice as many passengers travelling by train as there were 30 years ago. The increasing awareness of environmental issues with other methods of transportation is likely to favour railway travel, and so the number of passengers is expected to continue to rise. READ MORE

  4. 18. Integration of Life Cycle Assessment within Building Information Modeling Environment

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : Cui Jiayu; [2020]
    Keywords : LCA; BIM; Integration; Revit; Dynamo; EPD; XML;

    Abstract : Over the past several decades, increasing awareness of sustainable building has led to the development and maturity of life cycle assessment (LCA) as a method used to assess the environmental impacts and resources through buildings’ life cycle. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an intelligent process based on 3D model that enables architecture, engineering and construction designers to collaborate. READ MORE

  5. 19. The Export and Mobilisation of Sustainable Urbanism Ideals : International Experts as Canons Setters

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Kulturgeografiska institutionen
