1. Optimization of an energy system in rural Thailand
Kandidat-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Sammanfattning : By 2020, Thailand ensured 100% electricity access to its 72 million inhabitants. This was partly done by promoting off-grid energy systems in rural areas instead of using costly grid extensions. LÄS MER
2. Fuel Poverty and Health
Kandidat-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistikSammanfattning : For the past decade, fuel poverty has become a major health concern in developed countries. In this paper, we contribute to the literature by conducting the first study that seeks to determine if there exists a causal relationship between fuel poverty and self-assessed general health in a country with high-income equality and low rates of fuel poverty.

3. Lowering energy need and improving indoor climate - A case study of rural dwellings in Gammalsvenskby, Ukraine
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesignSammanfattning : A vast majority of rural dwellings in Ukraine are inefficient from an energy perspective, with a major need for energy-efficient renovations. A lot of these buildings are also having problems with the indoor climate, with poor ventilation combined with indoor combustion of fuel which can cause negative health effects. LÄS MER
4. Rationalising Renewables
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : Renewable energy pursuit and implementation are undoubtedly one of the most important steps in sustainable development across the globe. So far there are several developed high-income countries in the world, that have replaced their fossil fuel-powered electricity systems for renewable energy technologies, however, most of the world still relies on non-renewable energy sources.

5. Indoor Air Pollution, Passive Ventilation Strategies and Thermal Comfort in Nepal
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljöSammanfattning : Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. LÄS MER
