5. 34. Wood's Potential as an Eco-Friendly Building Material: A Comparative Study of Wood and Steel Columns in Reducing Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions in Construction

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Shuruq Ibrahim; [2023]
   Keywords : Building; Carbon emissions; Energy use; Life cycle assessment LCA ; Steel; Sustainable development; Wood;

   Abstract : The building sector contributes significantly to carbon dioxide (CO2) due to the high energy use in building material production. One of the most critical concerns the World Summit on Sustainable Development must address is saving energy. READ MORE

6. 35. Improved Furnace Control : System identification and model predicative control of Outokumpu’s reheating furnace

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Signaler och system

   Author : Oscar Holmqvist; [2023]
   Keywords : Systeem Identification; Model Predictive Control;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates one option for improving the control of a reheating furnace used in heating steel slabs before hot rolling; an essential part of the steel manufacturing process. The furnace consumes a significant amount of energy, leading to high cost and high carbon dioxide emissions. READ MORE
