  2. 1. Energy Efficiency in Residential Buildings in Mozambique - Measurements and Simulations

    Author : Gabriel Auziane; Byggproduktion; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy; Building; Measurements; Simulations; DEROB-LTH; Mozambique; Subtropical and Tropical climates; Energy efficiency; PV system; Electrical energy savings.;

    Abstract : Mozambique, situated in south-east Africa, has sub-tropical and tropical climate and plenty of natural resources for energy production. The country is however poor, and only about 25% of the population has access to electricity from the grid. READ MORE

  4. 2. Responsible resource management in hotels : attitudes, indicators, tools and strategies

    Author : Paulina Bohdanowicz; Björn Palm; Ivo Martinac; Walter Jamieson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hotels; energy and water management; energy and water conservation; environmental awareness; environmental reporting; performance indicators; consumption modelling; benchmarking; Mechanical energy engineering; Mekanisk energiteknik;

    Abstract : Hotels constitute one of the main, and still expanding, pillars of the tourism sector and are highly unique among other commercial buildings. Resource intensive and frequently inefficient systems and operational routines applied in the sector, result in considerable environmental impact and indicate an urgent need for more environmentally sound practices and products in the hotel industry.

    Abstract : Battery electric vehicles are being increasingly favored as an alternative to internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). This is mainly due to their lower environmental impact when compared to ICEVs over the vehicle’s lifetime. READ MORE

  6. 4. Study of the Apparent Kinetics of Biomass Gasification Using High-Temperature Steam

    Author : Aliaksandr Alevanau; Weihong Yang; Wlodzimierz Blasiak; Anna Ponzio; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; high temperature gasification; random pore model; grain model; volumetric model; TGA; Thermal energy engineering; Termisk energiteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : Among the latest achievements in gasification technology, one may list the development of a method to preheat gasification agents using switched ceramic honey combs. The best output from this technology is achieved with use of water steam as a gasification agent, which is heated up to 1600 °C. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards a framework for enabling sustainable production systems: a life-cycle perspective

    Author : Ilaria Giovanna Barletta; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
