  2. 1. In the Name of Energy Efficiency : Justice and energy poverty in the energy transition of Swedish housing

    Author : Jenny von Platten; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Energy transition; Housing; Justice; Energy poverty; Economic inequality; Flexibility;

    Abstract : The energy transition of housing is accelerating in parallel with economic inequality reaching historically high levels. There is thus an opportunity to reduce inequalities in living conditions, but also a risk that the costs of the transition are unequally distributed and aggravate existing inequalities. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evolution of Future Heating Systems - Modeling of an Expanding City Using a Dynamic Systems Approach

    Author : Karl Vilén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Heating system; Thermal energy storage; Low-heat-demand housing; Dynamic energy systems modeling; Housing; District heating; Climate policy; TIMES;

    Abstract : Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is central to meeting climate change mitigation targets. Since the energy sector is one of the largest greenhouse gas emitters, it is essential that all the actors within the energy sector reduce their respective emissions. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the Uptake of Energy Efficiency Technologies in European Residential Buildings

    Abstract : Residential buildings constitute approximately 75% of the European building stock, accounting for circa 30% of the EU´s overall energy demand and emissions. They also represent one of the biggest sources of energy saving potential, holding a crucial role in achieving EU carbon targets. READ MORE

  6. 4. Energy efficiency - Trends, determinants, trade-offs and rebound effects with examples from Swedish housing

    Author : Jonas Nässén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building sector; Sweden; carbon dioxide; rebound effect; energy policy; Energy efficiency; climate change;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on five separate papers. The first paper analyses the development of the Swedish building sector over time by decomposing CO2 emissions in underlying trends, and studying separate energy use trends for existing buildings, new buildings and best available technology.
