  1. 11. Mitigating the Urban Heat Island Effect in a Local Context : how wind and vegetation regulate temperatures during summer, with an example from the grounds of Karlstad Central Hospital, Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Patricia Kirkhorn; [2022]
    Keywords : GIS; Envi-met; microclimate; climate change; vegetation; wind; city planning; urban heat island; thermal comfort;

    Abstract : Climate change is the cause of more weather extremes. Cities' dense configuration, heat absorbing surfaces and low amount of vegetation leads to higher temperatures within cities known as the urban heat island effect (UHI). READ MORE

  4. 13. Performance Evaluation of a High Temperature Borehole Thermal Energy Storage Under Influence of Groundwater Flow

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Max Hesselbrandt; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recent years have seen a growing interest in large-scale high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage (HT-BTES) as a means to store industrial waste heat and solar energy between the seasons. A profound understanding and characterization of the thermal and hydraulic processes involved in such systems is required for the optimal design as well as for environmental assessments of the storage.
