  2. 11. Extensive green roofs in Porto Alegre, Brazil : Effect on indoor thermal comfort in residential buildings

    Author : Lisandra Fachinello Krebs; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; Computer simulations; Extensive green roofs; Housing projects; Indoor thermal comfort; Leaf area index; Microclimate; Social housing; Sustainability; Thermal comfort;

    Abstract : Brazil had a significant quantitative housing deficit of 7.7 million residences in 2015, especially in low-income housing. Traditionally, these projects have low levels of thermal insulation which can result in discomfort caused by warmth or cold. The residential sector is responsible for a significant part of the energy use in Brazil. READ MORE

  4. 12. Supporting the design phase of industrialised house building using a product platform approach : A case study of a timber based post and beam building system

  5. 13. A design process perspective on the energy performance of buildings

    Author : Jutta Schade; Johnny Kronvall; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

    Abstract : From a sustainable development perspective, buildings should be designed to be as energy-efficient as possible, as the contribution of buildings to total energy consumption has steadily increased, reaching between 20% and 40% in the developed countries. One of the main challenges for achieving this goal is to develop more cost-effective systems and processes for energy renovation and modernising of the building stock of Europe. READ MORE

  6. 14. Conservation and maintenance of modern buildings. The need of long-term maintenance of building façades in metropolitan housing areas. A model-proposal for documentation, analysis and intervention

    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; long-term-maintenance; documentation and analysis; façade materials and deterioration; integrated conservation and sustainable urban development; residential prefabricated buildings;

    Abstract : ABSTRACTMany European towns, as well as conurbations world wide include a significant amount of residential prefabricated buildings from the late 1950s, 60s and 70s. Housing often is concentrated to suburbs as a result of societal planning and development during this period. READ MORE

  7. 15. Decision support for the implementation of low-carbon measures in the building sector

    Author : Nicolas Francart; Tove Malmqvist; Paula Femenias; KTH; []

    Abstract : The building sector is responsible for about a fifth to a third of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, a successful mitigation of GHG emissions over the entire life cycle of buildings is particularly important to achieve climate targets such as the Paris Agreement. READ MORE
