2. 1. Bottom-Up Modeling of Building Stock Dynamics - Investigating the Effect of Policy and Decisions on the Distribution of Energy and Climate Impacts in Building Stocks over Time

   Author : Claudio Nägeli; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; synthetic building stock; agent-based modeling; Building stock modeling; renewable energy; building stock dynamics; energy efficiency; GHG emissions;

   Abstract : In Europe, residential and commercial buildings are directly and indirectly responsible for approximately 30–40% of the overall energy demand and emitted greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A large share of these buildings was erected before minimum energy-efficiency standards were implemented and are therefore not energy- or carbon-efficient. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of a non-destructive field testing method for thermal assessment of district heating pipes

   Author : Peter Lidén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; heat losses; thermal status; valve; polyurethane; cooling method; non-destructive testing; thermal conductivity; district heating network;

   Abstract : The thermal state of a district heating (DH) network governs the heat losses. It is a parameter considered if a change is to be made in the network. Heat losses are costly and economic aspects are important when planning for the maintenance or replacement of DH pipes. READ MORE

5. 3. A Time Perspective on Gendered Travel Differences in Sweden

   Author : Kandice Fults; Anders Karlström; Maria Börjesson; Merritt Polk; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gendered Travel Behavior; Probit Model; Travel Patterns; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur; SRA - Transport; SRA - Transport;

   Abstract : Gender differences in travel behaviors are relevant in addressing equity needs and a variety of policy issues.  In order to effectively design gender equity policy, whether transport-related or other, one must first understand the differences found in travel behaviors between genders and what the implications of those differences are.

6. 4. Maintenance related losses : a study at the Swedish National Rail Administration

   Author : Mattias Holmgren; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Kvalitetsteknik; Quality Technology and Management; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance;

   Abstract : The global competition among companies has lead to higher demands of the production system. Quality has become an important factor for competition. Customer satisfaction depends upon the fulfillment of a number of quality parameters. Two important quality parameters are dependability and safety. READ MORE

7. 5. Condition-based maintenance for effective and efficient rolling stock capacity assurance : A study on heavy haul transport in Sweden

   Author : Mikael Palo; Doug Hargreaves; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Drift och underhållsteknik; Operation and Maintenance Engineering;

   Abstract : All businesses need equipment to deliver services or manufacture goods. Over time, this equipment will degrade, but with proper maintenance, the degradation can be controlled, and failed equipment can be restored to operational status. Run-to-failure maintenance is performed when equipment or systems break down. READ MORE
