    Abstract : To meet the aims of the Paris climate agreement, it is necessary to reduce energy use in buildings. Efficient HVAC systems are a critical part in achieving a low delivered energy use. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hydronic Pavement Systems for Sustainable Winter Road Maintenance in Sweden : A Study of Hamnbacken in Visby

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Chirin Barikan; [2019]
    Keywords : Winter road maintenance; sustainable infrastructure; geoenergy; renewable energy; Nordic climate; BTES; surface water source heat; Halkbekämpning; hållbar infrastruktur; geoenergi; förnybar energi; nordiskt klimat; borrhål; sjövärme;

    Abstract : In countries with harsh winter climates extensive winter road maintenance is necessary to achieve traffic accessibility and road safety. These measures have high economic and environmental costs as snow free roads and winter road maintenance in Sweden today is achieved by a combination of mechanical snow clearance and the spreading of salt to prevent ice formation.

  5. 4. Life cycle assessment of a CAV, a VAV, and an ACB system in a modern Swedish office building

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

    Author : Nadeen Hassan; [2019]
    Keywords : Life cycle assessment; Environmental impacts; HVAC systems; Environmental indicator; Energy; Environmental performance; Impact assessment; Life cycle impact; Buildings; SimaPRO; Ecoinvent; Manufacturing phase; Operation phase; Active chilled beams; Variable-air-volume system; Constant-air volume system.; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Energy use in buildings contributes significantly to the global energy demand and environmental impacts. Among all building services, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems consume the most energy. HVAC systems are as well one of the largest consumers of natural resources and materials in the building sector. READ MORE

  6. 5. Combining solar collectos with an air heat pump for domestic hot water and space heating by Erik Svantesson

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Erik Svantesson; [2015]
    Keywords : Air heat pump; solar collector; direct electric heating; single family houses; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Today there are still single family houses with direct electric heating systems, even though this is an expensive and inefficient way of heating a house. It is common to install an air-to-air heat pump that requires less electricity to produce the same amount of heat as a direct electricity heating system. READ MORE
