  2. 1. Analysis of shear walls for multi-storey timber buildings

    Author : Johan Vessby; Bo Källsner; Anders Olsson; Ulf Arne Girhammar; Roberto Crocetti; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multi-storey structures; timber engineering; wind stabilization; shear walls; cross-laminated timber wall panels; fasteners; sheathing-to-framing connections; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik; Byggteknik; Civil engineering;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis addresses questions of how wind loads acting on multistoreytimber buildings can be dealt with by structural design of such buildings.The conventional use of sheathing either nailed or screwed to a timberframework is considered, together with other stabilizing structures such ascross-laminated timber panels.

  4. 2. Aerogel-based plasters for renovation of buildings in Sweden: Identification of possibilities, information deficiencies and challenges

    Author : Ali Naman Karim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; compatibility; durability; plaster; mechanical; render; energy efficient retrofitting; hygrothermal; renovation; listed building; Aerogel;

    Abstract : Aerogel-based plasters are a class of high energy efficient wall finishes with declared thermal conductivities around 30-50 mW/(m∙K). Aerogel-based plasters are promising alternatives to substitute conventional insulation materials when renovating uninsulated building envelopes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Retrofitting of old Exterior Wall with Vacuum Insulation Panels: Measurements of Thermal Properties, Moisture Performance and Practical Considerations

    Author : Pär Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hygrothermal sensor; listed building; transient plane source; retrofitting; indoor moisture supply; vacuum insulation panel; hygrothermal simulation; exterior wall;

    Abstract : The building industry is facing one of its most challenging tasks ever. Until 2050 the energy use for heating of buildings should be decreased by 50% which means a large part of the building stock have to be retrofitted to become more energy efficient. One of the possible solutions is to add thermal insulation to the exterior wall of the buildings. READ MORE

  6. 4. Integrated decision making in civil engineering, based on multi-criteria assessment and buildings’ certification

    Author : Milena Medineckiene; Folke Björk; Eridijus Rytas Vaidogas; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction; renovation; MCDM; certification; sustainability; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Significant investments are being made in the construction sector in order to raise the quality of the buildings and make them more sustainable and energy-efficient. The key aspect of these investments should be the purposeful optimization of the possible renovation and construction measures. READ MORE

  7. 5. Towards sustainability with building services systems : – by focusing on material choices, energy use and thermal indoor climates in residential buildings

    Author : Mats Dahlblom; Avdelningen för Installations- och klimatiseringslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; residential apartment buildings; building services systems; energy use; hvac; hydronic heating system; heating control; feedback control loop; indoor temperature measurements; individual metering and billing; indoor temperature variations; thermal comfort; vertical temperature gradient; case study;

    Abstract : For a development to be considered sustainable, social, economic and environmental requirements must be met. The Swedish sustainable development goals, based on Agenda 2030, contain 16 national environmental quality goals. The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning is responsible for achieving the goal "A good built environment". READ MORE
