16. Sustainable Thermal and Acoustic Retrofitting of Façade Walls
University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk akustik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : Faced with an acute problem of housing options during the 1960s, the Swedish government introduced a nationwide campaign of ‘A Million New Homes’. In order to achieve the aim of the campaign, the construction of these homes depends on cheap and fast building methods which do not result in the homes being energy efficient nor are they equipped with good acoustical properties.

17. Hur påverkar gummigolv i grisningsboxen suggans liggtider, liggbeteende och hennes tid för att lägga sig?
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : In the farrowing pens the amount of bedding material and the quality of the concrete floor has a huge impact on both the sow and the piglets. In this study imbedding of rubber flooring on the solid area in the farrowing pen was used to see if it had any effects on the sows lying behaviour when compared to concrete. READ MORE

19. Investigation of how Insulation affects the pipe system in the soil for ice rinks
University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknikAbstract : In Sweden, ice rinks are one of the largest energy consumers in the public building sector, requiring, each ice rink, about 1050 MWh/year, from which approximately 42 % is used by the refrigeration system. The goals of this project is to study the cooling system in the floor of indoor ice rinks placed at Sweden and achieve a solution against the problem of permafrost in the soil, due to low temperatures, and against the problem of the large amount of energy lost through the ground, due to low efficiency.

20. Thermal properties of concrete with different Swedish aggregate materials
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)Abstract : Earlier studies show that different concrete aggregates have different thermal properties, and from this an idea to optimize thermal properties of concrete was developed. The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate thermal properties of concrete so additional costs and negative environmental impacts can be minimized. READ MORE
