  4. 2. Topological and Scaling Analysis of Geospatial Big Data

    Author : Ding Ma; Bin Jiang; Shaowen Wang; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Third definition of fractal; scaling; topology; power law; head tail breaks; ht-index; complex network; geospatial big data; natural cities; natural streets; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : Geographic information science and systems face challenges related to understanding the instinctive heterogeneity of geographic space, since conventional geospatial analysis is mainly founded on Euclidean geometry and Gaussian statistics. This thesis adopts a new paradigm, based on fractal geometry and Paretian statistics for geospatial analysis. READ MORE

  5. 3. Patterns of co-presence : Spatial configuration and social segregation

    Author : Ann Legeby; Lars Marcus; Laura Vaughan; Daniel Koch; Julienne Hanson; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; co-presence; spatial configuration; public space; urban segregation; urban design; public life; spatial affordance;

    Abstract : This thesis notes that there is a lack of systematic research investigating segregation patterns based on how public space is used and frequented by citizens. In order for understanding of urban segregation to reach beyond residential segregation, the extent to which public space facilitates co-presence between social groups is a key issue. READ MORE

  6. 4. Numerical and experimental study of confluent jets supply device with variable airflow

    Author : Harald Andersson; Bahram Moshfegh; Mathias Cehlin; Fredrik Karlsson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Confluent jets; Air distribution system; Air supply device; Ventilation performance; Indoor air quality; Thermal comfort; Experimental study; Laser Doppler Anemometry LDA ; Computational fluid dynamics CFD ; Shear stress transport SST k – ω ; confluent jets; luftdistributionssystem; tilluftsdon; ventilationsprestanda; inomhusluftkvalitet; termisk komfort; experimentell studie; Laser-Doppler-anemometri LDA ; Computational fluid dynamics CFD ; turbulens model SST k – ω ; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : In recent years, application of confluent jets for design of ventilation supply devices has been studied. Similarly, numerus studies have been made on the potential and application of variable air volume (VAV) in order to reduce the energy demand of ventilation systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. A Systematic Approach to Integrated Building Performance Assessment and Visualisation

    Author : Samer Hassanie; Ivo Martinac; Holger Wallbaum; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal comfort; energy consumption; building certifications; occupancy; modeling; presence; pattern recognition; Demand controlled ventilation; Indoor thermal environment; Occupancy; Time response; Energy use; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to develop a holistic approach to building-performance assessment without limiting it to energy use (usually expressed in kWh/m2/year), but rather include more parameters that represent the following aspects: Economic, environmental, and quality of service provided to the occupant/client. If it can be shown that buildings can be operated not only in an energy-efficient way, but also in a way that takes into consideration the needs of the occupants, a case could be built that a higher quality of indoor environment does not necessarily mean a higher economic impact.
