4. 2. Design approaches in industrialized house building : A creativity perspective

   Author : Emma Viklund; Helena Lidelöw; Gustav Jansson; Dan Engström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; architectural design; creativity; design approach; design context; design process; engineering design; industrialized house building; platform; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

   Abstract : Industrialized house builders strive towards structure and control of their processes, including design. Such structure is seldom sought for in architectural design practice, where individuality and autonomy are considered essential. READ MORE

5. 3. Communicating the environmental characteristics of products: the use of environmental product declarations in the building, energy and automotive industries

   Author : Karin Jönsson; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy industry; Environmental product information; Environmental communication; Automobile industry; Building industry;

   Abstract : Environmental policy is shifting the focus from production processes to product-related issues. The provision and use of environmental information is generally considered an essential element in addressing the environmental impacts associated with the life cycle of products. READ MORE

6. 4. Service life estimations in the design of a PCM based night cooling system

   Author : Göran Hed; Christer Sjöström; Andrew James Miller; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building manufacturing engineering; Byggproduktionsteknik; Building engineering;

   Abstract : The use of Phase Change Material, PCM, to change the thermal inertia of lightweight buildings is investigated in the CRAFT project C-TIDE. It is a joint project with Italian and Swedish partners, representing both industry and research. PCMs are materials where the phase change enthalpy can be used for thermal storage. READ MORE

7. 5. Building Physics Tools: Needs, Use and the Lack of Use in the Building Process. Modelling Non-Isothermal Moisture Flow and Frost Penetration

   Author : Stephen Burke; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; isothermal; costs; building physics tools; moisture damages; learning loop; experience; causal loop diagrams; non-isothermal; moisture transport;

   Abstract : Despite advances in material science, computers and building technology, building failures related to building physics continue to occur. These failures range from a building not meeting its energy use target to a building causing people to become ill from exposure to various chemicals or biological organisms. READ MORE
