  2. 11. Simulation of historic buildings for enhancement of preservation and energy performance – issues and methods

    Author : Torun Widström; Folke Björk; Kjartan Gudmundsson; Jesper Arfvidsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Building simulation; historic buildings; energy performance; damage risk; mould; thermal bridges; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : Historic buildings are often particularly poorly insulated and difficult to heat, and are also at risk for several reasons. These include potential lack of use due to low thermal comfort leading to low or no profitability, damage risks due to over and under-climatization and risks due to climate change altering the boundary conditions that they were built for.

  4. 12. DC Distributed Power Systems - Analysis, Design and Control for a Renewable Energy System

    Author : Per Karlsson; Industriell elektroteknik och automation; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energiforskning; fault detection; load sharing; wind power; DC distributed power system; voltage control; Energy research; Elektronik och elektroteknik; VSC; Electronics and Electrical technology;

    Abstract : Renewable energy systems are likely to become wide spread in the future due to environmental demands. As a consequence of the dispersed nature of renewable energy systems, this implies that there will be a distributed generation of electric power. READ MORE

  5. 13. Air and Water Tightness in Building Envelopes - Evaluation of Methods for Quality Assurance

    Author : Fredrik Gränne; KTH; []
    Keywords : Roofing; roof membrane; durability; waterproofing; leakage; wind-load; non-destructive testing; NDT; BSL4; BLS3; air leakage; building envelope;

    Abstract : The purpose of this work is to contribute to a process formaking buildings with good function and to avoid prematurefaults.The design, construction and installation of low-slopedroofs are important parts of creating a durable building. READ MORE

  6. 14. Moisture Conditions in Exterior Wooden Walls and Timber During Production and Use

    Author : Lars Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; laboratory test; MRD-index; moisture; driving rain; hysteresis; wood; precipitation; timber; weather barrier; mould growth; façade; wall; wind barrier; measurement; field test; mold;

    Abstract : Thermal insulation of building envelopes has improved over the years. This means that building envelope have become more susceptible to defects, with an increased risk of moisture damage. The criteria for energy consumption have become more rigorous, but the shift should not lead to moisture problems. READ MORE

  7. 15. Environmental compensation using Resource Equivalency Analysis (REA) and Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA): is it just for the birds? : determining whether society is better off following resource-based compensation

    Author : Scott Cole; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Environmental compensation is the provision of natural resources through a restoration project, which is scaled to ensure the public is compensated for the environmental damage. The European Union (EU) recently implemented the Environmental Liability Directive (ELD), requiring that environmental damage be remediated (restored) so that the affected environment returns to (or toward) its baseline condition and the public is compensated for the initial damage and the losses during the time it takes for the environment to recover (interim losses).
