  1. 1. ACCESS TO URBAN COOL AND GREEN SPACES FOR OLD ADULTS IN GOTHENBURG – A GIS-BASED ANALYSIS OF RADIANT HEAT

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Robert Klein; [2023-01-19]
    Keywords : urban climate; heat stress; mean radiant temperature; SOLWEIG; urban vegetation; urban planning;

    Abstract : Old adults are particularly vulnerable against heat stress. Considering the ageing society and the projected increase of heat events, planning for heat-resilient urban environments for old adults will become increasingly important. READ MORE

  3. 2. Värmereducerande åtgärder för urbana mikroklimat

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Alice Ljungdahl; Ida Grundh; [2023]
    Keywords : klimatförändringar; värmeböljor; värmeöar; värmeöeffekt; klimatanpassning; temperaturreglering; värmereducerande åtgärder; värmereducering; mikroklimat; vegetation; skugga;

    Abstract : Det står klart att rådande klimatförändringar har lett och kommer i framtiden att leda till ökade temperaturer samt fler och längre perioder av värmeböljor. Ökade temperaturer i kombination med värmeöeffekter medför att urbana miljöer är särskilt utsatta och människor som väljer att bosätta sig på sådana platser riskerar allvarliga konsekvenser när det gäller hälsa och välbefinnande.

  4. 3. Streamlining 3D City Modeling for Urban Flow Simulations by Automatic Integration of Multisource Topography

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Klara Lindroth; [2023]
    Keywords : automatic 3D city models; surface reconstruction; geometry pre-processing; CFD; OSM height attributes;

    Abstract : In the workflow of computational fluid dynamics, geometry preparation is commonly the most time-consuming step. For a fast CFD simulation, automatic surface reconstruction to obtain 3D city models for a chosen area is essential. To address this need, a literature study was conducted to map available data suitable for 3D city models. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modelling façade temperature using meteorological data

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Erik Maesel; [2022-09-01]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Urbanization has increased drastically during the last century, and in 2007, the urban population exceeded that of the rural. Urban areas tend to be warmer than those of its surrounding due to the urban heat island effect (UHI) which can bring harmful effects to people living in urban areas. READ MORE

  6. 5. Decarbonisation potential of multi-family Swedish Homes

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

    Author : Hanxiao Qi; [2022]
    Keywords : Building Energy; OpenStreetMap; EPCs; BETSI; Machine Learning; Automated process; carbon neutral buildings; net zero energy; decarbonisation.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Global warming is mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The building sector is responsible for a significant share of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Most of the existing buildings in Europe were built before 2001 and the vast majority will remain in place after 2050 when EU aims to achieve climate neutrality. READ MORE
