  2. 1. Green Buildings : Exploring performance and thresholds

    Author : Magnus Bonde; Svante Mandell; Partick McAllister; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Green Buildings; Energy-Efficient Buildings; EPC; Indoor Environment Quality IEQ ; Real Options Analyses ROA ; Real-Estate Economics; Real Estate and Construction Management; Fastigheter och byggande;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this research project is to study green/energy-efficient real estate from an economic perspective. The thesis summarizes the results from five different studies with a connection to green/energy-efficient real estate. READ MORE

  4. 2. Energy efficient indoor climate control - A practical approach for enhanced implementability

    Author : Mattias Gruber; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; model-based control; building automation; ventilation and air-conditioning; office buildings; implementability; energy efficiency; Heating; indoor climate control;

    Abstract : This work deals with energy efficient indoor climate control in office buildings, with an emphasis on implementability. More specifically, the aim is to suggest and evaluate improvements to building automation systems that are sufficiently simple and efficient to be realistic alternatives to commonly-used systems.

  5. 3. On the Effect of Occupant Behavior and Internal Heat Gains on the Building’s Energy Demand : A case study of an office building and a retirement home

    Author : Jakob Carlander; Bahram Moshfegh; Jan Akander; Shahnaz Amiri; Sture Holmberg; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building energy simulation; energy efficiency indicators; occupant behaviour; energy performance; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : About 12% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of the total energy use in the EU derive from the buildings. User behavior, construction, and HVAC systems has a significant impact on a building’s energy use. If a building is to be energy-efficient it is important to understand how all these parameters are connected. READ MORE

  6. 4. Energy Efficient Renovation Strategies for Swedish and Other European Residential and Office Buildings

    Author : Marcus Gustafsson; Sture Holmberg; Jonn Are Myhren; Chris Bales; Jarek Kurnitski; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy efficiency; renovation; low-temperature heating; air heat recovery; district heating; heat pump; Energieffektivitet; renovering; lågtemperaturuppvärmning; värmeåtervinning; fjärrvärme; värmepump; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Energy and Built Environments;

    Abstract : The high energy use in the European building stock is attributable to the large share of old buildings with poor energy performance. Energy renovation of buildings is therefore vital in the work towards energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact in the EU. READ MORE

  7. 5. Direct-Ground Cooling Systems for Office Buildings: Design and Control Considerations

    Author : Taha Arghand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Borehole; Cooling capacity; Laboratory experiments; Ground heat exchanger; Fluid temperature levels; Control; Direct-ground cooling; Optimization; High temperature cooling;

    Abstract : Direct-ground cooling systems are defined as systems in which the ground is used as the only source for cooling mainly in commercial buildings. These systems benefit from exchanging heat with the ground, of which its temperature is basically constant below a certain depth year around. READ MORE
