  1. 1. Rules of thumb for energy-efficient renovation of apartment buildings : The case of Nils Holgersson, the Swedish statistical home

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

    Author : Hedayat Darabikelareh; Tagreed Maqatif; [2021]
    Keywords : Energy-efficient; renovation measures; Nils Holgersson building; VIP; XPS; ventilated façade; IDA ICE; LCCA; Miljöbyggnad.;

    Abstract : In Sweden, there are around 300 000 multi-family buildings with high energy consumption state a high renovation potential in the building sector. This study aims to analyze different renovation measures for a typical theoretical multi-family building to determine their effects on energy consumption, financial profitability, and impacts on obtaining an energy label in the rating system.

  3. 2. INTERMEDIATE-SCALE TESTS AND CONE CALORIMETER TESTS - FIRE BEHAVIOUR OF SELECTED FACADE MATERIALS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Tanja Cernosa; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire behaviour; Intermediate-scale facade tests; cone calorimeter; stone wool; phenolic foam; WRB; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the last few years, the implementation of well-ventilated façades in buildings increased due to their improved energy performance. However, their double-wall construction due to the limited airflow within an air cavity represents a significant fire risk, since the flames that spread into the air cavity can elongate up to ten times.

  4. 3. The Influence of Cavity Widths and Lateral Ventilation Conditions on the Fire Behaviour within a Non-Combustible Ventilated Façade System

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Daniel Fogerty; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within Intermediate-scale ventilated façades following the ISO 13785-1 standards.

  5. 4. CFD Analysis of Heat Transfer in an Innovative Facade System

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Christoffer Bågholt; [2018]
    Keywords : Computational Fluid Mechanics; Heat Transfer; Building Physics;

    Abstract : New innovative façade systems that are well thought out, rational, sustainable and energy efficient are needed for renovation of old buildings to drastically reduce the heat losses through walls and to improve indoor conditions. In order to achieve the above mentioned goal, new innovative modular systems that can be mounted on site with ease are an interesting alternative. READ MORE

  6. 5. Mould resistance design for external wood frame wall systems : Simulation and evaluation of wall structures under varying conditions of exposure using the MRD model

    University essay from KTH/Byggnadsteknik; KTH/Byggnadsmaterial

    Author : Carl Dahlström; Emma Giesen; [2015]
    Keywords : MRD; Mould growth; Wood frame wall systems; Moisture safety evaluation; WUFI; MRD; Mögel; Träregelväggar; Fuktsäkerhetsprojektering; WUFI;

    Abstract : Moisture induced damages to building envelopes can result in microbial growth possibly affecting the health and wellbeing of occupants. Recent failing structures and damaged buildings indicate a lack of tools to estimate risk of mould growth and moisture damage. READ MORE
