2. 6. Regulating energy performance of residential buildings in cold climate : a study of indicators, criteria, and evaluation methods

   Author : Ingrid Allard Stolterman; Thomas Olofsson; Gireesh Nair; Folke Björk; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy performance; building simulation; cold climate; energy use; indicators; evaluation methods; building regulations; residential buildings; energy measurements; performance gap; energy signature; sustainable development; hållbar utveckling; fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : Building energy performance has been important in Fennoscandia ever since the early vernacular houses, to combat the cold climate. Due to EU directive 2010/31/EU on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD recast), building energy performance has become even more relevant in northern Europe the last decade. READ MORE

4. 7. Responsible resource management in hotels : attitudes, indicators, tools and strategies

   Author : Paulina Bohdanowicz; Björn Palm; Ivo Martinac; Walter Jamieson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hotels; energy and water management; energy and water conservation; environmental awareness; environmental reporting; performance indicators; consumption modelling; benchmarking; Mechanical energy engineering; Mekanisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : Hotels constitute one of the main, and still expanding, pillars of the tourism sector and are highly unique among other commercial buildings. Resource intensive and frequently inefficient systems and operational routines applied in the sector, result in considerable environmental impact and indicate an urgent need for more environmentally sound practices and products in the hotel industry.

5. 8. Content Ontology Design Patterns: Qualities, Methods, and Tools

   Author : Karl Hammar; Henrik Eriksson; Vladimir Tarasov; Eva Blomqvist; Harald Sack; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ontology; Ontology Design Pattern; Quality Model; eXtreme Design; XDP; WebProtégé;

   Abstract : Ontologies are formal knowledge models that describe concepts and relationships and enable data integration, information search, and reasoning. Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) are reusable solutions intended to simplify ontology development and support the use of semantic technologies by ontology engineers. READ MORE

6. 9. Developing tools for sustainability management in the graphic arts industry

   Author : Maria Enroth; Nils Enlund; Ulf Lindqvist; KTH; []

   Abstract : The main aim of this thesis is to develop and test industry-specific, applied work procedures and tools for environmental and emerging sustainability work in the graphic arts industry. This includes methods to quantify, follow-up, evaluate, manage, improve and communicate the environmental performance of activities in the graphic arts supply chain and printed products. READ MORE

7. 10. Towards an Ontology Design Pattern Quality Model

   Author : Karl Hammar; Kurt Sandkuhl; Henrik Eriksson; Vladimir Tarasov; Eva Blomqvist; Arianit Kurti; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ontology; OWL; Ontology Design Pattern; Semantic Web; Quality Model;

   Abstract : The use of semantic technologies and Semantic Web ontologies in particular have enabled many recent developments in information integration, search engines, and reasoning over formalised knowledge. Ontology Design Patterns have been proposed to be useful in simplifying the development of Semantic Web ontologies by codifying and reusing modelling best practices. READ MORE
