1. 16. Smart window in Sweden : A comparative analysis of an office buildingsimulation model with conventional windows, andelectrochromic windows, based on Miljöbyggnadcertification criteria

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

   Author : Marcus Waldron; [2017]
   Keywords : IDA ICE; Miljöbyggnad; Electrochromic window; Smart window;

   Abstract : The building sector is one of the sectors that consume most energy in Sweden. Sweden aims thereby to reduce energy use in buildings by 20% by 2020 and 50% by 2050. To achieve these goals, more energyefficient buildings must be produced, and more energy-efficient measures must be implemented on existing buildings. READ MORE

3. 17. Energetic study of a residential building in Skutskär and savings proposal

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

   Author : Ximo Masip-Sanchis; [2016]
   Keywords : energy audit; energy efficiency; sustainability; money savings;

   Abstract : This project consists on the Energy audit carried out on a residential building in Skutskär, property of the company Älvkarlebyhus, which is placed in the Älvkarleby municipality, belonging to Uppsala County in Sweden. The aim of the Energy audit is to obtain how much Energy is used, when is it used and how is it used. READ MORE

4. 18. Skylights in classrooms, optimal design for a cold climate through dynamic daylighting and energy simulations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign

   Author : Panayiota Paraskeva; Vaia Vakouli; [2015]
   Keywords : school buildings; skylight; daylight; energy use; heating; lighting; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Previous studies indicated that skylights can improve the daylight conditions in house or office buildings, decrease the electricity demand for lighting, provide natural ventilation and reduce the heating demand through passive solar heat gain exploitation. This thesis analyses the effect of skylights on the energy use, daylight conditions and thermal comfort in a classroom. READ MORE

5. 19. System Integration of PV/T Collectors in Solar Cooling Systems

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

   Author : Arash Ghaghazanian; [2015]
   Keywords : PV T; Solar cooling; Dubai; New Delhi; Cape Town; Los Angeles; Fractional primary energy saving; net metering; Adsorption; TDC; Polysun; Solar fraction; chiller;

   Abstract : The demand for cooling and air-conditioning of building is increasingly ever growing. This increase is mostly due to population and economic growth in developing countries, and also desire for a higher quality of thermal comfort. READ MORE

6. 20. Feasibility study for upgrading the current heat distribution network of an existing building complex to a Smart Thermal Grid

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad termodynamik och kylteknik

   Author : John Clauss; [2015]
   Keywords : Smart Thermal Grid; Heat Pump Technology; Solar Energy; Borehole Thermal Energy Storage;

   Abstract : A feasibility study on upgrading an existing heat distribution network to a low-temperature distribution grid has been carried out during this project. The integration of a solar thermal system combined with a borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) for covering the space heating demand of the buildings as well as the application of CO2 heat pumps and water storage tanks for domestic hot water (DHW) production were investigated in order to apply more renewable energy sources.
