  1. 1. Circular Construction : A Study of Reuse Practices in the Construction Industry from a Consultant´s Perspective

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad (ABE)

    Författare :Johan Åberg; Jacob Foconi; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Reuse; Circular Economy; Construction Industry; Resource Use; Embodied Environmental Impact; Återbruk; Cirkulär Ekonomi; Byggbranschen; Resursanvändning; Inbäddad Miljöpåverkan;

    Sammanfattning : In light of the need to reduce resource usage and mitigate the climate impact of the Swedish construction industry, the adoption of reusing secondary materials has gained significant attention as an alternative construction process. This approach not only addresses environmental concerns, but also aims to transition from the prevailing "make-take-waste" system of resource management. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Climate impact of energy retrofitting measures : An analysis of energy and carbon payback times for replacing windows

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Författare :Mari Rosenkvist; [2022]
    Nyckelord :energy payback time; carbon payback time; building refurbishment LCA;

    Sammanfattning : The European Commission has proposed a “renovation wave” to increase energy efficiency in buildings. Retrofitting can decrease operational energy usage but requires material production. LÄS MER

  4. 3. GREEN GROWTH – A TECHNOLOGICAL SUCCESS OR AN OFFSHORING STORY? : Investigating Ecological Footprints of Production and Consumption

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Umeå universitet/Nationalekonomi

    Författare :Linnea Casselryd; [2022]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : With the green growth strategies that are currently dominating the environmental agenda, the ability to decouple economic growth from environmental pressure is a condition for these to succeed. The vast body of literature that examine this relationship typically rely on narrow indicators of environmental pressure and neglect the environmental impact embodied in international trade. LÄS MER

  5. 4. A Preliminary Framework For The Selection Of Materials & Manufacturing Processes For Lunar Surface Systems Assuming Integration To A Space Circular Economy

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Författare :Gabriel Sanchez; [2022]

    Sammanfattning :  In-situ resource utilization and in-situ manufacturing are being actively pursued as ways to enhance the development of human activities in space. However, the re-purpose of space systems through processes like recycling, re-manufacturing, and re-use, has not received the attention it deserves given its potential to reduce the waste generated by human activities in space, improve the sustainability of space habitats, and reduce the environmental impact on Earth of human activities in space.
