1. Thermal system analysis of embedded building integrated heating - Numerical model and validation of hydronic floor heating systems
Abstract : A numerical simulation tool for building integrated heating (BIH) systems is developed. BIH is defined as a heat supply system that maintains the indoor thermal comfort within acceptable limits by means of a controlled heat supply to the inner of the building envelope/structure.

2. Buildings as thermal energy storage – Pilot test and large-scale implementation for district heating systems
Abstract : Heat loads in a district heating system can exhibit significant variations within a single day, which sets problematic conditions for efficient heat generation. Short-term thermal energy storage (TES) can decrease these daily variations and make the conditions for generating heat more favorable. READ MORE

3. Thermal Modelling of Water-Based Floor Heating Systems - supply temperature optimisation and self-regulating effects
Abstract : Low temperature water-based concrete embedded floor heating systems are studied. The utilisation of low quality heat sources is facilitated by low temperature heating. Theoretical models which describe the transient thermal floor heating operation constitute the basis for the analysis. READ MORE

4. Modelling drivers of energy demand in the European Union building sector
Abstract : In the context of ongoing initiatives within the European Union (EU) to tackle global warming and to secure future energy supplies, the building sector is often cited as offering strong potential for energy savings. The primary aims of this thesis are to analyse the historical data related to EU building and to generate scenarios that highlight the technical and non-technical parameters that affect the energy demands (and thereby the potentials for savings) of the building sector.

5. Efficiency of building related pump and fan operation - Application and system solutions
Abstract : The electric energy use in Swedish non-industrial buildings is 71 TWh per year out of which 30 TWh per year is used for the operation of technical systems. A significant part of those 30 TWh/year is used for pump and fan operation. The Swedish parliament decided in 2009 on a national energy and climate plan. READ MORE
