  2. 1. Energy Efficiency in Shopping Malls : Some Aspects Based on a Case Study

    Author : Sofia Stensson; Jan-Olof Dalenbäck; Per Fahlén; Monica Axell; Jeffrey Spitler; Sweden Chalmers University of Technology; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shopping mall; energy use; energy efficiency; HVAC system; load patterns; case study; regulatory requirements; building code; and energy declarations;

    Abstract : The building sector accounts for approximately 40 percent of our energy use. To reach existing environmental targets energy use will have to be reduced in all building types. At the European level, the main legislative instrument for improving the energy efficiency of the building stock is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). READ MORE

  4. 2. Energy Efficiency in buildings in the Baltic states and the Nordic countries

    Author : Xiaoying Li; Jonas Björnerstedt; Mats Bergman; Xiang Lin; Robert Lundmark; Södertörns högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; energy efficiency; building regulation; multi-apartment buildings; retrofit; energy performance gap; housing management; energy price inflation; inflation expectations; energieffektivitet; byggreglering; flerbostadshus; renovering; energiprestandagap; bostadsförvaltning; energiprisinflation; inflationsförväntningar; Politics; Economy and the Organization of Society; Politik; ekonomi och samhällets organisering; Östersjö- och Östeuropaforskning; Baltic and East European studies;

    Abstract : Improving energy efficiency in buildings is widely viewed as a cost-effective way of achieving climate and energy goals. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) aims to enhance the energy performance of new buildings and increase the renovation rate of energy-inefficient older buildings in the European Union.

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Achieving building energy performance : requirements and evaluation methods for residential buildings in Sweden, Norway, and Finland

    Author : Ingrid Allard; Thomas Olofsson; Gireesh Nair; Ronny Östin; Osama Hassan; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building codes; energy performance; evaluation methods; air tightness;

    Abstract : Building energy performance has always been important in the cold climate of Sweden, Norway and Finland. To meet the goal that all new buildings should be nearly zero-energy buildings by 2020, set in the EU directive 2010/31/EU [1] on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD recast), the building sector in Europe now faces a transition towards buildings with improved energy performance.

  7. 5. Potential of Ventilation Radiators : Performance evaluation by numerical, analytical and experimental means

    Author : Jonn Are Myhren; Sture Holmberg; Per Olaf Tjelflaat; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ventilation radiator; thermal comfort; exhaust ventilation; CFD; energy saving; convection fin; low temperature heating; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : Energy consumption for heating and ventilation of buildings is still in 2011considered far too high, but there are many ways to save energy and construct lowenergy buildings that have not been fully utilised. This doctoral thesis has focused onone of these - low temperature heating systems. READ MORE
