  2. 1. Mitigation of urban storm water runoff through application of computational fluid dynamics

    Author : Kaj Pettersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microstructure; infiltration; Green roof; CFD; wind-driven rain; building facade.; lattice Boltzmann;

    Abstract : This thesis covers computational methods for improving the ability of green roofs to mitigate storm water runoff in urban environments. Roofs with living vegetation, known as green roofs, have been used for this purpose however quantification of their ability to slow and stop rainfall runoff has not been undertaken to a large degree.

  5. 3. Empirical studies of auctions of non-distressed residential real estate

    Author : Rosane Hungria-Gunnelin; Mats Wilhelmsson; Hans Wijkander; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; housing market; auctions; underpricing; bidding strategies; time-on-market; brokers commission fee structures; information asymmetry; winner s curse; bostadsmarknad; auktioner; underprissättning; budgivningsstrategier; time-on-market; provisionsstruktur; informationsasymmetri; winner s curse; Real Estate and Construction Management; Fastigheter och byggande;

    Abstract : Real estate auctions have become a popular sales mechanism in Sweden in the past couple of decades when the internet facilitated the marketing of properties for sale. With the possibility to display several exterior and interior pictures of the property rather than the single façade picture style of traditional newspapers advertisements, and a more detailed description of the object, brokers significantly increased the number of potential buyers at the showings of properties for sale.

  6. 4. Numerical modelling of sound propagation to closed urban courtyards

    Author : Maarten Hornikx; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; courtyard; urban noise abatement schemes; pseudospectral; road traffic noise; equivalent sources method; scale model study; urban canyon;

    Abstract : Because modern urban environments suffer from excessive levels of road traffic noise, access to closed courtyards is essential in order to offer urban sound environments of high quality with regard to health and perceived sound. To reach this quality, which is described by the quiet side definition, the 24-hour equivalent noise level should be below 45 dB(A). READ MORE
