   Abstract : Today’s buildings are responsible for 40% of the world’s energy use and also a substantial share of the Global Warming Potential (GWP). In Sweden, about 21% of the energy use can be related to the heat losses through the climatic envelope. READ MORE

4. 2. Evaluation of energy conserving measures in buildings connected to a district heating system : case studies in Gävle, Sweden

   Author : Mattias Gustafsson; Björn Karlsson; Magnus Åberg; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energieffektivisering; miljonprogrammet; solceller;

   Abstract : When different energy conserving measures are implemented for reducing energy use in buildings and the buildings are connected to district heating systems, it is important that an overall system analysis is made which takes into account the effects of total change of energy use due to the energy conserving measures.The method applied in this thesis uses hourly production data for the different production units in the district heating system in Gävle, Sweden.
