  1. 1. Rapid expansion of roof mounted PV systems in commercial facilities - How can they be insured?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Erik Lindén; [2023]
    Keywords : PV system fires; PV component failures; PV regulations; future PV regulations; PV risk assessment; PV risk evaluation; PV insurance price; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : PV system components that are exposed to unmanageable strain can be overheated, which subsequently results in a fire ignition. Common failure factors are poor component quality, mechanical exposure due to natural phenomena and poor craftmanship. The underlying problem is that PV regulations are lacking in quality or are non-existent. READ MORE

  3. 2. Energy audit of a single-family detached house with district heating in Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Asier Querejeta Cano; [2023]
    Keywords : energy audit; single-family house; heat transmission; solar photovoltaic panels; solar thermal collectors; district heating; mechanical ventilation.;

    Abstract : As energy prices keep increasing, energy efficiency measures have come to the spotlight, especially in the residential sector. In this context, energy audits appear as powerful tools in order to assess the energy use and cost of energy of a dwelling, and identify possible energy saving measures that increase the energy efficiency and reduce costs.

  4. 3. Development and evaluation of solar heating solutions for Villages in the highlands of Peru

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

    Author : Tom Rupert Göransson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the Peruvian highlands, hundreds of thousands of people live in dwellings that are completely unheated. In this climate, nighttime indoor temperatures during the winter could be as low as 0°C. Indoor cold can cause thousands of respiratory diseases and increase winter mortality. READ MORE

  5. 4. Building performance optimisation tools for the decarbonisation of Swedish buildings

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

    Author : Nadja Baden; Marziyeh Taghizadeh; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimisation; Parametric design; Decarbonisation; Renovation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : To mitigate climate change and reach Sweden’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2045, or at an earlier stage of 2030 for 23 Swedish cities, urgent action is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the building sector’s significant contribution to carbon emissions, a crucial aspect in achieving these goals is improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings, as most of these will still be in use by this time.

  6. 5. Measurement of mechanical vibrations : Measurement of ambient energy in the form of mechanical vibrations in transportation, storage and installment for the use of self-powered wireless sensor networks

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

    Author : Oskar Nordström; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This project aims to explore the feasibility of using energy harvesting to create a self-powered sensor node that doesn't require batteries. The project was initiated by Ericsson, who identified a need to monitor their radio products during delivery to ensure they are not damaged by vibrations that exceed design specifications. READ MORE
