  1. 1. Värme och svalka i (bo)stadsmiljön. Urbana bostäder för ett föränderligt klimat genom passiv klimatreglering och ytor för odling

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Författare :Filip Rahmn; [2024]
    Nyckelord :urban dwelling environments; passive climate control; climate- based building strategies; integrated climate control; health-threatening heat exposure; vernacular architecture; urban densification; urban greenery; urban farming; urban shade; urbana bostadsmiljöer; passiv klimatreglering; klimatbaserade byggnadssätt; integrerad klimatreglering; hälsofarlig värmeexponering; allmogearkitektur; stadsförtätning; stadsgrönska; stadsodling; stadsskugga; Arts and Architecture;

    Sammanfattning : Warm, warmer, warmest average temperatures on record. The year of 2023 was the hottest ever recorded on Earth. This heat record breaking development is described as “the new normal”, which means that future buildings must be designed with this new extreme weather normality in mind. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Behaviours of older adults in urban outdoor environments during warm days

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Sandra Lujic; [2023-08-18]
    Nyckelord :Older adults; urban outdoor environments; behaviour; preferences; thermal comfort;

    Sammanfattning : As a result of climate change, heat waves are expected to increase in frequency, duration, and severity, which is particularly threatening to the urban population. Vulnerable groups, including the older population, are more likely to be affected by adverse health effects due to heat exposure. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Pedestrian movement and exposure to heat stress in Gothenburg, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Madeleine Cleverstam Vikström; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :urban climate; heat stress; Space Syntax; pedestrian movement; urban morphology;

    Sammanfattning : An area in Gothenburg, Sweden, representing various planning designs and microclimates, were investigated, in order to estimate how the study area manifests potential pedestrian movement patterns and urban climate conditions in terms of heat stress. The study is based on the Geographical Information System (GIS) where pedestrian movement and heat stress is calculated. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Combustibility study of resin for warm magnet coils used at CERN

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Författare :Juan Carlos Lopez Santiago; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Epoxy resin; flammability; radiation; aging; cone calorimeter; micro combustion calorimeter; thermogravimetric analysis; lateral ignition and flame spread test; chemical composition of polymers; polymers; epoxy composite; polymer composite; failure of epoxy resins; magnetic coil; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : CERN is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, housing multiple accelerators that rely heavily on magnetic coils. These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Solar Photovoltaic Fire Risks : FE-analysis of fire exposed solar photovoltaic systems and comparison of current legislation and recommendations from different countries

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Författare :Elin Bergroth; Greta Torstensson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Solar Photovoltaic; National Guidelines; Fire Department; FE-analysis; TASEF; Solceller; Nationella Riktlinjer; Räddningstjänst; FE-analys; TASEF;

    Sammanfattning : The global use of energy increases every day and to meet the growing demand, energy sources are constantly being developed to become more efficient and reliable. During the last decade, the global solar photovoltaics (PV) capacity has increased every year and in 2017, solar PV was the global leading power source of renewable energy. LÄS MER
