    Abstract : In Sweden, buildings are responsible for about 40 % of total energy use and about 10 % of total CO2 emissions Today more than 60 % of existing Swedish residential buildings are over 40 years old and are in need of major renovation. In addition, 15 % of all multi-family buildings and 27 % of all single-family houses were built before 1945. READ MORE

  4. 7. Energy systems analysis of Swedish pulp and paper industries from a regional cooperation perspective : Case study modeling and optimization

    Author : Sofia Klugman; Bahram Moshfegh; Thore Berntsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial energy system; Optimization; District heating; Energy audit; Co-operation; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : The industrial sector uses about one third of the energy end-use in the world. Since energy use in many cases highly affects both the local and global environment negatively, it is of common interest to increase energy efficiency within industries. READ MORE

  5. 8. Risk-Averse Planning, Operation, and Coordination of Energy Systems Considering Uncertainty Modeling and Flexibility Services
