  1. 1. 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. 2. Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Rebecca Johansson; [2023-08-17]
    Nyckelord :climate adaptation; heat mitigation; heat stress; urban planning;

    Sammanfattning : Due to climate change, it is expected that heat waves will be intensified and occur more frequently in Sweden; hence, heat-related risks are anticipated to increase, i.e., morbidity and mortality. Through heat mitigation strategies, risks associated with heat can be prevented. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Trees as heat stress mitigators. The frequency of heat and cold stress in a redevelopment area in Borås, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Simon Wiklund Wagersten; [2023-06-22]
    Nyckelord :Cold stress; heat stress; SOLWEIG; thermal comfort; TreePlanter;

    Sammanfattning : As future climate is predicted to generate higher temperatures as well as more frequent extreme weather scenarios, it is essential to plan to mitigate the effects of climate change. In an attempt to mitigate one effect of climate change, this master’s thesis examines both the heat and cold stress at the area Pulsen in Borås Stad, both as the conditions are today, and after the implementation of a new detail plan.

  5. 4. Carbon Capture from Biomass Boiler Flue Gas Emissions using Microalgae : A Case Study

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Graham Kirn; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Capture and storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) is expected to play an important role in climate change mitigation efforts intended to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), in which carbon is captured during energy generation from sustainably sourced biomass fuels, is of particular interest in Sweden. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Simulering av vattenburen golvvärme med finita elementmetoden : värmeavgivning vid olika mönster för rörläggning

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap; Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Författare :Joakim Nyberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :comsol; finite element method; multiphysics; multiphysics simulation; PDE; DE; FEM; 4GDH; governing equations; simulering; comsol; vattenburen golvvärme; golvvärme; FEM; finita elementmetoden; PDE; partiella differentialekvationer; fjärde generationens fjärrvärme; 4GFV; EAS; värmesimulering;

    Sammanfattning : This report formulates the boundary conditions and discretization method for conducting a simulation of heat with liquids and solids through the finite element method. It introduces the reader to the movement that is due today with optimization of heat transport and mitigation generally described as the fourth generation of district heating. LÄS MER
