  1. 1. Lowering energy need and improving indoor climate - A case study of rural dwellings in Gammalsvenskby, Ukraine

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

    Author : Viktor Kauranen; [2022]
    Keywords : Gammalsvenskby; energy-efficient; indoor climate; rural buildings; renovation; Ukraine; Life cycle cost; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A vast majority of rural dwellings in Ukraine are inefficient from an energy perspective, with a major need for energy-efficient renovations. A lot of these buildings are also having problems with the indoor climate, with poor ventilation combined with indoor combustion of fuel which can cause negative health effects. READ MORE

  3. 2. Energy-Efficient Retrofits on an Existing Home in Coimbra, Portugal : A dynamic assessment of environmental performance for future climate and energy mix scenarios

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : Jordan Berman; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This work introduces a method, called the dynamic building life cycle, to evaluate theenvironmental performance for residential renovation products. The method goes beyond a fullbuildinglife cycle by accounting for the changing dry bulb temperature and greenhouse gas (GHG)intensity over a 30-year period between 2020 and 2050. READ MORE

  4. 3. Life cycle assessment and structural analysis of renovation of Ulriksberg school building in Växjö

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

    Author : Amir Ahaki Lakeh; Milad Tahmasbi; [2022]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; renovation measures; environmental impacts; structural analysis;

    Abstract : Massive volumes of hazardous emissions have been produced by the construction sector for which some adequate steps are implemented, but the rising trend of emissions can still be seen. In this thesis, the goal is to identify and analyze renovation measures from primary energy use and environmental impacts perspective, according to Boverket’s mandatory provisions and general recommendations (BBR 2018), for an old school building.

    Author : Alejandro Rodríguez-Urdaneta; [2020]
    Keywords : buildings; energy efficiency; energy savings; energy simulations.; edificios; eficiencia energética; ahorro de energía; simulaciones energéticas.;

    Abstract : Several studies have shown that the buildings envelope optical properties are important in terms of energy use and thermal comfort level. However, no study has been found in regard of the optimal optical properties for the building envelope. READ MORE

  6. 5. Moisture Content and Mould Risk in Concrete Outer Walls

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsteknik

    Author : Jóhanna Eir Björnsdóttir; Jóhann Björn Jóhannsson; [2018]
    Keywords : External walls; exterior insulation; interior insulation; moisture damage; mould; concrete wall; WUFI;

    Abstract : Previous studies on the typical Icelandic external wall have shown thatcondensation occurs at the interior surface of the concrete and field inspectionshave supported this conclusion. The primary objective ofthis study is to analyse the hygrothermal behaviour of the typical Icelandicwall and evaluate the mould risk at the interior surface of theconcrete. READ MORE
