2. 1. Simplifying LCA use in the life cycle of residential buildings in Sweden

   Author : Sjouke Beemsterboer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Life cycle assessment LCA ; Simplified LCA; building construction; multifamily residential building; Life Cycle Management LCM ;

   Abstract : This thesis discusses the use of environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) in the building life cycle. While the life cycle of a residential building is an important source of environmental concern, knowledge about LCA remains scarce and sporadic in most construction companies. READ MORE

4. 2. From Housing Inequalities to an Unjust Energy Transition : Data-driven analyses of socio-technical links in the Swedish multifamily building stock

   Author : Jenny von Platten; Avdelningen för Byggnadsfysik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Improving energy performance in the Swedish multifamily building stock is an important undertaking in order to reach national and international targets for energy efficiency. However, growing economic inequalities in Sweden, manifested in the multifamily building stock as housing inequalities that entail segregation, overcrowding, and differences in standard of living, have led to low-income households being overrepresented in buildings with low energy performance.

5. 3. Demand Controlled Ventilation. A Case Study for Existing Swedish Multifamily Buildings

   Author : Vitalijus Pavlovas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; indoor temperature; individual metering; energy savings; Apartment buildings demand controlled ventilation; measurements; indoor air quality;

   Abstract : The energy issue is rising on the agendas all over the world and energy efficiency and energy saving become more and more important. The building sector stands for a large part of the total energy used, e.g. READ MORE

6. 4. Assessment and optimization of life cycle enrgy use in buildings

   Author : Farshid Shadram; Thomas Olofsson; Holger Wallbaum; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
