2. 1. Evaluation of Sustainable Urban District Developments : The case of Stockholm Royal Seaport

   Author : Louise Holmstedt; Maria Malmström; Nils Brandt; Karl-Henrik Robèrt; Jordi Segalàs; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Evaluation; Follow-up; Sustainable urban development; Sustainable districts; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

   Abstract : Urban sustainable development is now seen as one of the keys in the quest for a sustainable world and increased interest in developing sustainable urban districts has become an important feature of urban sustainability. However, if cities and their districts are to be part of this transition, it will be necessary to determine the state and progress of urban developments. READ MORE

4. 2. With district heating toward a sustainable future : System studies of district heating and cooling that interact with power, transport and industrial sectors

   Author : Danica Djuric Ilic; Louise Trygg; Björn Karlsson; Erik Dalhquist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to identify measures which should be taken in DH systems (DHSs) in order to contribute to the development of the DHSs and other energy systems (especially transport, industrial and power sectors) toward sustainability.Four business strategies were analysed: delivering excess heat from biofuel production industry to DHSs, conversion of industrial processes to DH, integration of biofuel production in DHSs and integration of DHdriven absorption cooling technology in DHSs.

5. 3. District Heating and CHP : Local Possibilities for Global Climate Change Mitigation

   Author : Kristina Difs; G. Björn Karlsson; Louise Trygg; Thomas B. Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : District heating; combined heat and power; carbon dioxide emissions; optimisation; energy policies; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract : Global warming, in combination with increasing energy demand and higher energy prices, makes it necessary to change the energy use. To secure the energy supply and to develop sustainable societies, construction of energy-efficient systems is at the same time most vital. READ MORE

6. 4. Modeling urban energy flows at macro and district levels : towards a sustainable urban metabolism

   Author : Aumnad Phdungsilp; Ivo Martinac; Kevin Bennett; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : The urban sustainability is a growing importance in the built environment research. Urban areas play a key role in planning for sustainable city development. Urbanization has implications for future energy systems and energy-related emissions. READ MORE

7. 5. A Statistical Approach to Estimate Thermal Performance and Energy Renovation of Multifamily Buildings : Case study on a Swedish city district
