2. 6. Energy Efficiency Improvements of Tumble Dryers : -Technical Development, Laundry Habits and Energy Labelling

   Author : Lena Stawreberg; Lars Nilsson; Jonas Berghel; Roger Renström; Björn Palm; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; drying; domestic; energy efficiency; textile; energy labelling standard; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik; Miljö- och energisystem; Environmental and Energy Systems;

   Abstract : Tumble dryers are becoming more and more common in ordinary households as a complement to the washing machine. Tumble dryers offer a fast drying cycle independent on weather conditions and require small space. They do, however, considering the large number of units use a large amount of electricity.

4. 7. The Non-Energy Benefits of Industrial Energy Efficiency : Investments and Measures

   Author : Therese Nehler; Patrik Thollander; Elin Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial energy efficiency; energy efficiency measures; energy efficiency investments; non-energy benefits; compressed air;

   Abstract : Improved industrial energy efficiency is viewed as an important means in the reduction of CO2 emissions and climate change mitigation. Various energy efficiency measures for improving energy efficiency exists, but even evaluated as cost-effective, there seems to be a difference between the energy efficiency measures that theoretically could be undertaken and which measures that actually are realised.

5. 8. Low-energy buildings : energy use, indoor climate and market diffusion

   Author : Johannes Persson; Stefan Grönkvist; Svend Svendsen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building energy simulations; energy efficiency gap; energy use; indoor climate; low-energy buildings;

   Abstract : Low-energy buildings have, in recent years, gained attention and moved towards a large-scale introduction in the residential sector. During this process, national and international criteria for energy use in buildings have become stricter and the European Union has through the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive imposed on member states to adapt their building regulations for ‘Nearly Zero Energy Buildings’, which by 2021 should be standard for new buildings.

6. 9. Increasing Energy Efficiency in Electric Trains Operation : Driver Advisory Systems and Energy Storage

   Author : Nima Ghaviha; Erik Dahlquist; Markus Bohlin; Fredrik Wallin; Rob M.P. Goverde; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Driver Advisory System; Catenary-free Operation; Electric Train; Electric Multiple Unit; Battery; Energy Efficiency; Energy Storage; Speed Profile Optimization; Energy- and Environmental Engineering; energi- och miljöteknik;

   Abstract : Electric traction is the most efficient traction system in the railway transportation. However, due to the expensive infrastructure and high power demand from the grid, the share of electric trains in the railway transportation is still lower than other trains. READ MORE

7. 10. Is energy efficiency the forgotten key to successful energy policy? : Investigating the Swedish case

   Author : Maria Xylia; Semida Silveira; Jenny Palm; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy efficiency; energy policy; Sweden; policy research; mixed-methods research; Cost-benefit analysis; energy intensive industries; public transport; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : Sweden aims to become one of the first fossil-free welfare countries in the world. In 2009, specific energy and climate policy targets were announced for 2020, which exceed the ambition of respective EU targets in some areas. READ MORE
