  2. 1. Integrated life cycle design : application to concrete multi-dwelling buildings

    Author : Mats Öberg; Avdelningen för Byggnadsmaterial; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; projektering; fallstudier; hållbar utveckling; kostnader; betongkonstruktioner; materialval; livslängd; inomhusklimat; energianvändning; livscykelanalyser; flerbostadshus; analys; livscykelkostnader; ekonomi;

    Abstract : This work examines the application of ILCD (Integrated Life Cycle Design), to Swedish concrete multi-dwelling buildings. The aim of the study is to look into methodological issues of ILCD and to present the fundamental attributes of dwelling buildings and how they relate to concrete as a structural material. READ MORE

    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

  5. 3. Creating value from bio-residuals : Biogas solutions for biobased industries in Scandinavia

    Author : Linda Hagman; Mats Eklund; Niclas Svensson; Kari-Anne Lyng; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biogas; Biobased industry; Resource efficiency; Biogas development; Sustainability; Nutrients; Biogas; Biobaserad industri; Resurseffektivitet; Biogasutveckling; Hållbarhet; Näring;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on biogas solutions for biobased industries as substrate management or energy providers. It investigates how such solutions are set up, what factors are important for their development, the effects on society and biobased industries, and the possibility of having biogas solutions as part of a sustainability strategy for biobased industries.

  6. 4. Evolutionary Materialism: Towards a Theory of Anticipatory Adaptive Assemblages

    Author : Magnus Larsson; Magnus Wålinder; Andreas Falk; Olga Popovic Larsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : Building materials; multi-objective optimisation; genetic algorithms; evolutionary architecture; material phase transitions; generative LCA; parametric epistemic things; presilience; postponism; anticipation; adaptation; simulation; Grasshopper; Byggnadsmaterial; flermålsop2mering; gene2ska algoritmer; evolu2onär arkitektur; materialbaserade fasövergångar; genera2v LCA; parametriska epistemiska 2ng; presiliens; postponism; antecipa2on; adap2on; simulering; Grasshopper; Building Materials; Byggnadsmaterial;

    Abstract : This thesis is an investigation into how meta-heuristic multi-objective optimisation processes (genetic algorithms driven by evolutionary solvers) can bring about materials-related advantages in architectural performance. It redefines the architect’s and engineer’s role from being designers of a singular space or structure to being designers of entire species of spaces, and discusses a particular method – anticipatory adaptive assemblages (AAA) – that allows such processes to produce many generations of design iterations that eventually yield individuals optimised for a set of predefined objectives.

  7. 5. Environmental Assessment of Green Chemicals - LCA of Bio-Based Chemicals Produced Using Biocatalysis

    Author : Linda Tufvesson; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; green chemicals; industrial biotechnology; Life cycle assessment; renewable resources;

    Abstract : It is of at most importance that society reduces its impact on the environment. In the chemical industry the use of renewable resources will play a fundamental role in the transition to more sustainable chemical products. Also industrial biotechnology, i.e. READ MORE
