1. 1. Embodied carbon and waste generation of building refurbishment : Case studies of office fit out in Sweden

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Författare :Ansheila Gabriela Budiyani; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Fit out; office; refurbishment; waste generation; embodied carbon; building life cycle; hyresgästanpassning; kontorsbyggnader; renovering; avfallsgenerering; inbyggd klimatpåverkan; byggnadens livscykel;

   Sammanfattning : Buildings contribute to various environmental impacts. Office fit out, as a type of refurbishment in the building life cycle, tends to recur often and is resource-intensive. Still few studies have researched the topic. LÄS MER

3. 2. Construction of prefabricated concrete buildings : A comparative attributional LCA

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Författare :Ludvig Wingårdh; [2021]
   Nyckelord :Attributional Life Cycle Assessment; Prefabricated rate; Building embodied impacts;

   Sammanfattning : This master thesis investigated the influence of prefabrication rate of buildings on the embodied environmental impacts. Through a comparative attributional LCA four different Swedish buildings were investigated to explore the influence of PR on the environmental impacts in the categories Cumulative Energy Demand, Global Warming Potential, Water Consumption, Fossil Resource Scarcity, and Mineral Resource Scarcity.

4. 3. Energy Performance Simulation of Different Ventilation Systems in Sweden and Corresponding Compliance in the LEED Residential Rating System

   Magister-uppsats, Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

   Författare :Patrick Boyle; [2020]
   Nyckelord :HVAC; IDA ICE; LEED; demand-controlled ventilation; heat recovery ventilation; energy efficiency; energy simulation;

   Sammanfattning : The importance of energy efficiency in the operation of the built environment is becoming increasingly important. Energy use in the building sector has exceeded both transportation and industry, while within buildings heating, ventilation, and air conditioning has the greatest share. LÄS MER

5. 4. The carbon footprint caused by the oversizing of building service systems : A case study of an NHS Hospital

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Författare :Maria Hein; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Design; dimensioning; heating; cooling; boiler; chiller; pump; energy performance; environmental impact; mitigation strategy;

   Sammanfattning : Energy usage in buildings is a main contributor to CO2 emissions and in order for the EU to reach the 2050 goal of carbon-neutrality, there is a great need to improve the energy efficiency in buildings, particularly commercial buildings that often are substantially overdesigned. Excess margins in the design process of building services result in an oversizing of these systems which has great environmental impacts, divided up as the operational and embodied carbon footprints.

7. 5. Demolish or Refurbish an Existing Building? : A bachelor thesis on the climate impact of different methods of renewing a building

   Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och industriell teknik

   Författare :Desirée Lennermark; Victoria Bjellerup; Lisa Bäckström; Lisen Wedman; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Building; Demolish; Refurbish; renovation; Environmental impacts; Embodied carbon; Energy use; LCA; Life cycle assessment;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate different alternatives of renewal regarding an already existing building. The case study building is located in the Ulleråker area in Uppsala, Sweden and is an old mental hospital building from the 1950’s which Uppsala Municipality wishes to restore as part of a bigger investment in the neighborhood.
