2. 1. A Statistical Approach to Estimate Thermal Performance and Energy Renovation of Multifamily Buildings : Case study on a Swedish city district

   Author : Martin Eriksson; Bahram Moshfegh; Shahnaz Amiri; Jan Akander; Sasan Sadrizadeh; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy signature; multifamily building; district heating; energy renovation; simulation; heat loss coefficient; balance temperature; base load; energisignatur; flerbostadshus; fjärrvärme; energirenovering; simulering; värmeförlustkoefficient; balanstemperatur; baslast; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

   Abstract : Several climate and energy goals have been set in the European Union, one of them being to increase energy efficiency. In Sweden, a large potential for increased energy efficiency lies in the residential and service sectors, which account for about 40% of total energy use. READ MORE

4. 2. Energy Efficiency in buildings in the Baltic states and the Nordic countries

5. 3. Integrated Life Cycle Design - Applied to concrete multi-dwelling buildings

   Author : Mats Öberg; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; livslängd; materialval; energianvändning; inomhusklimat; livscykelanalyser; livscykelkostnader; hållbar utveckling; Sustainable construction; Building construction; Service life design; Multiple Attribute Decision Analysis; Energy efficient buildings; Life Cycle Assessment; projektering; betongkonstruktioner; flerbostadshus; Byggnadsteknik; Integrated life cycle design; Life Cycle Costing;

   Abstract : The objective of this work is to explore ways of enhancing the overall lifetime quality, including cost and environmental efficiency, of Swedish concrete multi-dwelling buildings. The building and its characteristics, as well as the procedures for whole life optimisation, are addressed. READ MORE

6. 4. Incentivising Innovation in the Swedish Construction Industry

   Author : Jonas Anund Vogel; Per Lundqvist; Hans Lind; Jaime Arias Hurtado; Ellen Van Bueren; KTH; []

   Abstract : Almost 40 percent of global final energy use and CO2 emissions are connected to buildings and building-related activities; it is therefore important to incentivise the design and construction of resource-efficient buildings. Unfortunately, energy demand and associated emissions in the sector continue to grow. READ MORE

7. 5. Integrated life cycle design : application to concrete multi-dwelling buildings

   Author : Mats Öberg; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
