  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Energy efficiency measures in a typical Swedish single-family building from the 1960s

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Emanuel Larsson; Raffaello Ljungqvist Baldesi; [2022]
    Keywords : energy system; building; energy efficiency measures; storage; solar panels; electricity demand; heating demand; insulation;

    Abstract : Many buildings built in the 1960s are inefficient when it comes to their energy use. A lot of them are also in need of renovating. Therefore, this project is aiming to investigate five different scenarios where the decrease in electricity demand is in focus. READ MORE

  4. 3. Early Design Stage Energy Optimization of Bysjöstrand Ecovillage, Sweden

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik
