  2. 1. Heat treatment of solid wood : effects on absorption, strength and colour

    Author : Dennis Johansson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träfysik; Wood Physics;

    Abstract : Wood is a useful construction material, but it has less desirable properties such as poor durability and poor dimensional stability. These problems can be reduced by using various chemical treatments. Increased environmental awareness has raised the demand for more environmentally friendly methods. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modelling LCC for Different Indoor Climate Systems

    Author : Dennis Johansson; Avdelningen för Installations- och klimatiseringslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; kallt klimat; bostäder; kontor; skolor; samlingslokaler; inomhusklimat; VVS; uppvärmning; ventilation; luftkonditionering; livscykelkostnader; kostnader; optimering; beräkningsmetoder; beräkningsmodeller; teori;

    Abstract : The indoor climate system, which serves a building with a proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort, has been predominantly designed based on the initial investment costs. A life cycle approach could improve both the economic and environmental performance since the energy use would decrease. READ MORE

  6. 4. Strength and colour response of solid wood to heat treatment

    Author : Dennis Johansson; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood Physics; Träfysik;

    Abstract : Heat treatment is a method for improving the durability and dimensional stability of wood. The treatment method used in this work is called Thermo Wood and is industrially applied in Finland. In 2004 production was 31146 m3. The method involves heating wood in a steam atmosphere where the heat causes chemical changes in the structure of the wood. READ MORE

  7. 5. Building renovation processes towards low greenhouse gas emissions and energy use

    Author : Stefan Olsson; Tove Malmqvist; Göran Finnveden; Dennis Johansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Renovation processes; buildings; energy efficiency; greenhouse gas emissions; target levels;

    Abstract : Buildings from the record year era are now 40 – 55 years old and in many cases in need of extensive renovation measures. This need for renovation could be seen as an opportunity to achieve overarching sustainability target levels and to perform renovation with a holistic approach. READ MORE
