2. 1. Building renovation processes towards low greenhouse gas emissions and energy use

   Author : Stefan Olsson; Tove Malmqvist; Göran Finnveden; Dennis Johansson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Renovation processes; buildings; energy efficiency; greenhouse gas emissions; target levels;

   Abstract : Buildings from the record year era are now 40 – 55 years old and in many cases in need of extensive renovation measures. This need for renovation could be seen as an opportunity to achieve overarching sustainability target levels and to perform renovation with a holistic approach. READ MORE

4. 2. Factors influencing the outcome of renovation projects

   Abstract : In Sweden, housing accounts for about 23% of all energy consumption. Sweden wants to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2045; as such, it is likely that energy-saving measures for housing will be needed. Many existing buildings have been in operation for 50 years or more and are therefore in need of modernisation. READ MORE

5. 3. Balancing Building Conservation with Energy Conservation - Towards differentiated energy renovation strategies in historic building stocks

6. 4. Industrialized construction - explorations of current practice and opportunities

   Author : Linus Malmgren; Avdelningen för Konstruktionsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction; industrialization; renovation; property maintenance;

   Abstract : Industrialized construction has over the years taken different expressions and gone through different phases depending on where inspiration has come from. In this project, industrialized construction has been studied in two applications: timber house manufacturing and renovation of multi-family houses. READ MORE

7. 5. An Approach Towards Sustainable Building

   Author : Navid Gohardani; Folke Björk; Kjartan Gudmundsson; Göran Lindahl; KTH; []

   Abstract : The motivation for development of energy efficiency and implementation of novel advanced materials applied in buildings can be traced to increasing energy costs in conjunction with an enhanced environmental awareness among people. This doctoral dissertation presents contributions towards sustainable building, where factors such as building technology, energy efficiency in buildings, workers' health issues during construction measures, and certain economic considerations for renovation of buildings have been considered.
