  1. 6. Energy savings in multi-family building after using an innovative retrofitting package

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

    Author : Kosmas Kasolas; [2020]
    Keywords : Energy savings; retrofitting; energy efficient measures; thermal insulation; multi family building;

    Abstract : The building sector is one of the sectors that consume the most energy in Sweden. In order to deal with this problem Swedish government aims to reduce the energy consumption in the building sector 50% by 2050. Another ambitious goal set by the Swedish government is zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. READ MORE

  3. 7. Benefits of passive solar shading devices in Swedish climate scenarios. Integrated daylight and energy study.

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

    Author : Agnieszka Czachura; [2019]
    Keywords : solar shadings; sustainability; buildings; daylight; energy use; glare; thermal visual comfort; free cooling; Sweden; performance prediction methods; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modern well-insulated and highly glazed buildings experience increased overheating, even in cold climates. Buildings hold the biggest share of the world’s energy use, and current climate crisis can exacerbate future need for cooling. READ MORE

  4. 8. The impact of climate change on the energy demand and indoor climate of an apartment building in Stockholm

    University essay from KTH/Hållbara byggnader

    Author : ANTONIOS TSAOUSOGLOU; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : With an increasing global concern about climate change, an important topic for the building industry is how climate change will affect the energy behaviour of buildings and their indoor thermal comfort levels. Many residential buildings do not fulfil the healthy requirements regarding indoor temperatures due to poor design even with the current climate conditions. READ MORE

  5. 9. The effects of low-emissivity window films on thermal comfort and energy performance of a historic stone building in cold climate: computer simulations with "IDA ICE"

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för byggnadsteknik, energisystem och miljövetenskap

    Author : Saman Abolghasemi Moghaddam; [2019]
    Keywords : Low-E window films; low-emissivity window films; thermal comfort; IDA ICE; solar heat gain; U-value; building energy saving measures; heating demand; cooling demand;

    Abstract : Low-emissivity (low-E) window films are designed to improve the energy performance of windows and prevent indoor overheating by solar radiation. These films can be applied to different types of glazing units without the need for changing the whole window. READ MORE

  6. 10. Future climate resilience of energy-efficient retrofit projects in central Europe

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