2. 16. Conflict and Compromise : An Evolutionary Framework for the Design of Multi-Storey Timber Buildings

   Author : Magnus Larsson; Andreas Falk; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

   Abstract : In January 1995, the architect John Frazer’s groundbreaking study, An Evolutionary Architecture, was published to coincide with an exhibition of the same name at the Architectural Association in London. The book proposed a new methodology for the architectural design process, based on a radical repositioning of the role of the architect. READ MORE

4. 17. Microclimate modelling for agrivoltaic systems

   Author : Sebastian Zainali; Pietro Elia Campana; Bengt Stridh; Anders Avelin; Marcos Lana; Petra Högy; Mälardalens universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Agrivoltaics; Microclimate; Modelling; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : Increasing global electricity consumption and population growth have resulted in conflicts between renewable energy sources, such as bioenergy and ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, owing to the limited availability of suitable land caused by competing land uses. This challenge is further compounded by the intertwined relationship between energy and agri-food systems, where approximately 30% of global energy is consumed. READ MORE

5. 18. Studies to Avoid Decreased Efficiency in Multiple Stage Biological Wastewater Treatment Plants: Concerning Forests Industry Effluents

   Author : Maria Sandberg; Ola Holby; Erik Särner; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wastewater treatment; Forest industry; Black liquor; MultiBio; Toxic effluents; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : Målet med den här studien är att förhindra effektivitetssänkningar i moderna biologiska reningsanläggningar för skogsindustriella avloppsvatten. Biologiska processer är vanligtvis effektiva när det gäller att reducera lättnedbrytbart organiskt material. Eftersom den utgörs av levande mikroorganismer (MO) är tekniken känslig. READ MORE

6. 19. Robust and Energy Efficient Scheduling

   Author : Nina Sundström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Common workspace; Trajectory planning; Energy optimization; Robust Scheduling; Discrete Event Systems;

   Abstract : Scheduling can generally be described as the act of allocating resources to tasks over time such that a given performance measure is optimized. Traditionally, disturbances are not considered while developing schedules. A rescheduling framework has thus emerged, aiming to minimize the impact of unforeseen disruptions. READ MORE

7. 20. Opposition and adjustment to industrial ‘greening’ : the Swedish forest industry’s (re)actions regarding energy transition – 1989-2009

   Author : Mikael Ottosson; Jonas Anshelm; Claes-Fredrik Helgesson; Hans Andersson; Susse Georg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Forest industry; energy; electricity; forests; industrial greening; industrial change; actor network theory; sociology of industry; strategic management; science and technology studies; Skogsindustri; energi; elektricitet; skog; industriell miljöanpassning; industriell förändring; aktörsnätverksteori; branschsociologi; strategiforskning; teknik- och vetenskapsstudier; Technology and social change; Teknik och social förändring;

   Abstract : This thesis analyses how the Swedish forest industry has (re)acted regarding the energy transition and, in particular, regarding the reconstruction of the electricity and forest resources in Sweden during the 1989–2009 period. The thesis consists of four papers that analyse how the Swedish forest industry by means of energy management practices at individual pulp and/or paper mills, in corporate strategies performed by CEOs and boards of directors, and via its industry association, has dealt with mounting political and public demands for the industry to become ‘greener’.
