1. 1. Using a GIS to enable an economic, land use and energy output comparison between small wind powered turbines and large-scale wind farms: the case of Oslo, Norway.

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Colin Potter; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wind power; Renewable energy sources; urban wind energy; urban areas; planning; vertical axis wind turbines; comparative studies; urban integrated energy systems; Oslo; Roan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale wind turbines on top of buildings within a 2km radius study zone in central Oslo.

3. 2. Quantifying household food waste : a comparison between methods

   University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

   Author : Sophie Jakobsson; Amanda Sjölund; [2023]
   Keywords : Smart bins; questionnaire; waste composition analysis; sustainable food systems;

   Abstract : Having significant impacts on the environment, societies, and economies all over the world, the global food system is linked to many challenges related to sustainable development. Food waste constitutes one problem area within the food system where approximately one-third of all food produced gets lost or wasted along the supply chain. READ MORE

4. 3. Feasibility study of evaporative cooling and toilet flushing using rainwater in a public building

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Claudia Reig Moril; [2023]
   Keywords : Rainwater; Evaporative cooling; Toilet flushing; Energy; Water; Feasibility.; Regnvatten; Evaporativ kyla; Toalettspolning; Energi; Vatten; Genomförbarhet.;

   Abstract : The project "Feasibility of evaporative cooling and toilet flushing using rainwater in a public building" combines rainwater harvesting with the evaporative cooling technology and toilet flushing and explores the practicality and viability of implementing this innovative system in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. This study comprehensively investigates various aspects related to water and energy, and the entire system is computationally modelled using the Equation Engineering Solver (EES) software. READ MORE

5. 4. Logistical consequences of rapid deliveries in omnichannel retailing : Investigating the impact of 15-minute deliveries on the demand management and order fulfilment process

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Logistik- och kvalitetsutveckling
