   Abstract : In Sweden, buildings are responsible for about 40 % of total energy use and about 10 % of total CO2 emissions Today more than 60 % of existing Swedish residential buildings are over 40 years old and are in need of major renovation. In addition, 15 % of all multi-family buildings and 27 % of all single-family houses were built before 1945. READ MORE

4. 2. Direct-Ground Cooling Systems for Office Buildings: Design and Control Considerations

   Author : Taha Arghand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Borehole; Cooling capacity; Laboratory experiments; Ground heat exchanger; Fluid temperature levels; Control; Direct-ground cooling; Optimization; High temperature cooling;

   Abstract : Direct-ground cooling systems are defined as systems in which the ground is used as the only source for cooling mainly in commercial buildings. These systems benefit from exchanging heat with the ground, of which its temperature is basically constant below a certain depth year around. READ MORE

5. 3. Thermal modelling and evaluation of borehole heat transfer

   Author : Saqib Javed; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground source heat pump; fluid temperature; borehole; short-term; thermal response test; groundwater-filled; optimization; load aggregation; simulation; recovery; step-response; long-term; ground heat exchanger; times; design; ground-coupled;

   Abstract : The use of ground source heat pump systems to provide heating and cooling inbuildings has increased greatly in the last decade or so. These systems have a highpotential for energy efficiency, which has environmental and economicadvantages. READ MORE

6. 4. Stainless Steel Corrugated Web Girders for Composite Road Bridges: Concept Evaluation and Flange Buckling Resistance

   Author : Fatima Hlal; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Investment cost; Genetic algorithm; Duplex stainless steel; LCC; Corrugated web; Flange buckling resistance; Optimization; Composite bridges; LCA; Road bridges;

   Abstract : Achieving a sustainable bridge design requires careful consideration of economic viability and environmental impact over the entire lifespan of the structure. While stainless steel is recognized for its excellent life cycle performance, its high cost prevents it from being used to a larger extent in bridges. READ MORE

7. 5. Utilizing solar energy for anti-icing road surfaces using hydronic heating pavement with low temperature

   Author : Raheb Mirzanamadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solar energy; asphalt concrete; ground heat exchanger; anti-icing; optimization;

   Abstract : During summer, the surface temperature of an asphalt road pavement can rise up to 70°C due to absorbed solar radiation. The high temperature degrades the performance of the asphalt concrete by accelerating the thermal oxidation and plastic deformation, especially under heavy traffic loads. READ MORE
