  2. 1. Value creation in development and construction of public buildings : the case of houses of culture

    Author : Kristina Laurell-Stenlund; Will Hughes; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction Engineering and Management; Byggproduktion;

    Abstract : A public building should create an added value to clients, construction professionals and users resulting in an efficient construction project as well as an economically and socially sustainable building over its whole lifetime. In the meantime it is difficult to describe the social benefits of public buildings in general, but even more difficult to describe public buildings with a cultural content, e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Stabilising system for multi-storey beam and post timber buildings

    Author : Gabriela Tlustochowicz; André J.M. Jorissen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Träbyggnad; Timber Structures;

    Abstract : For multi-storey timber buildings, the stabilisation against horizontal loads is one of the key issues, which becomes more severe with height. There are a few main concepts utilised to resist lateral forces; shear wall action, diagonal bracing, and frame action. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spatial analysis of urban housing stocks

    Author : Magnus Österbring; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy performance certificate; Building-stock modelling; GIS; renovation; refurbishment; Energy; Multi-family buildings;

    Abstract : Urban building-stocks must be transformed in order to reduce energy and resource use to achieve climate change mitigation targets. As the rate of renewal in the building-stock is low, energy efficiency measures need to be applied when renovation is being done. READ MORE

    Author : Claes Sandels; Lars Nordström; Palensky Peter; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Demand Response; Flexible loads; Building stock energy-use; Bottom-up simulation models; Load profiles; Non-homogeneous Markov-chains; End-user behavior; Lumped capacitance models; HVAC system control; Smart Grid.; Efterfrågeflexibilitet; Flexibla laster; Energianvändning i byggnadsstocken; Botten-upp-simuleringsmodeller; Elförbrukningsprofiler; Icke-homogena Markovkedjor; Slutanvändarbeteenden; Värmedynamikmodellering; Styrning av HVAC-laster; Smarta elnät.;

    Abstract : The electric power systems are currently being transformed through the integration of intermittent renewable energy resources and new types of electric loads. These developments run the risk of increasing mismatches between electricity supply and demand, and may cause non-favorable utilization rates of some power system components. READ MORE
