1. Low-energy buildings energy use, indoor climate and market diffusion
University dissertation from Stockholm : KTH Royal Institute of TechnologyAbstract : Low-energy buildings have, in recent years, gained attention and moved towards a large-scale introduction in the residential sector. During this process, national and international criteria for energy use in buildings have become stricter and the European Union has through the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive imposed on member states to adapt their building regulations for ‘Nearly Zero Energy Buildings’, which by 2021 should be standard for new buildings.

2. Comfort climate evaluation with thermal manikin methods and computer simulation models
University dissertation from Stockholm : Arbetslivsinstitutet och KTHAbstract : Ökat intresse för energiförbrukning och samtidiga krav på godtagbar termisk miljö gör det nödvändigt att i förväg kunna bedöma personpåverkan från olika kombinationer av klimatfaktorer. Enbart temperaturmätningar tar inte hänsyn till alla klimateffekter på en människa och speciellt inte för lokala effekter av luftrörelser och strålning. READ MORE

4. Thermal models of buildings : determination of temperatures, heating and cooling loads : theories, models and computer programs
University dissertation from Department of Building Science, Lund Institute of TechnologyAbstract : The need to estimate indoor temperatures, heating or cooling load and energy requirements for buildings arises in many stages of a buildings life cycle, e.g. at the early layout stage, during the design of a building and for energy retrofitting planning. Other purposes are to meat the authorities requirements given in building codes. READ MORE

5. Modelling Life Cycle Cost for Indoor Climate Systems
University dissertation from Byggnadsfysik LTH, Lunds Tekniska HögskolaAbstract : The indoor climate system, which serves a building with a proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort, has been predominantly designed based on the initial cost. A life cycle approach could improve both the economic and environmental performance since the energy use could decrease. READ MORE
