1. 1. Energy-Efficient Retrofits on an Existing Home in Coimbra, Portugal : A dynamic assessment of environmental performance for future climate and energy mix scenarios

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbara byggnader

   Författare :Jordan Berman; [2022]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : This work introduces a method, called the dynamic building life cycle, to evaluate theenvironmental performance for residential renovation products. The method goes beyond a fullbuildinglife cycle by accounting for the changing dry bulb temperature and greenhouse gas (GHG)intensity over a 30-year period between 2020 and 2050. LÄS MER

3. 2. Lifecycle greenhouse gas & water resource inventory modelling for Swedish small and medium enterprises

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

   Författare :Yat Yin Lai; [2020]
   Nyckelord :SME; GHG emissions; scope; water resource utilization; lifecycle; sustainability reporting;

   Sammanfattning : Traditionally, environmental related work is not commonly practised by the Swedish small and medium enterprises (SME). This can be attributed to the non-inclusive Swedish sustainability reporting legislation, which is primarily targeted at the large corporations, but also due to shortage of resources, demands, prioritization and competences in the SME.

4. 3. Solar photovoltaic potential to complement hydropower in Ecuador : a GIS-based framework of analysis

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Jose Jara Alvear; [2018]
   Nyckelord :photovoltaic; hydropower; complementarity; GIS; Ecuador; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : In Ecuador, more than 85% of electricity production relies on hydropower and consequently the supply of electricity relies on water availability. During the dry season (October-March) hydropower capacity could diminish up to one-third of its installed capacity or more under a severe drought causing a substantial augmentation of thermoelectric power output to offset the lack of hydropower to cover electricity demand, and consequently increasing the overall operational cost and emission of CO2 of the power system.

5. 4. Need for Speed – A Systems Perspective on the Environmental Cost of High Top Speeds in German Passenger Cars

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

   Författare :Mudit Chordia; [2018]
   Nyckelord :Lifecycle assessment; Private cars; Down-engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Automobiles have evolved from meeting transportation needs of their owners a century ago, to addressing transportation desires of their owners today. They now meet the owner’s desire for status though sign values such as speed, safety, environmental consciousness, sexual desire, freedom, masculinity etc. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : With global emissions of human activities that drive climate change on the rise, global institutions and authorities are trying to introduce new regulations in the industry, in order to accomplish a significant reduction of carbon emissions. In order for companies to be more effective in reducing carbon emissions, not only from their products but also along their value chains and product portfolios, it is of vital importance to understand and quantify them.
