Abstract:

Passivhus är idag populära bostäder med tyngdpunkt på låg energianvändning. En kravspecifikation, FEBY 12, ställer ett flertal krav på passivhus, däribland energianvändning för uppvärmning. Ett välisolerat och tätt klimatskal är därför en förutsättning för passivhuset att kunna uppfylla kraven. Denna rapport behandlar fönster, som är en del av klimatskalet, och dess påverkan på det termiska inomhusklimatet. Studien genomfördes genom simuleringar i datorprogrammet ParaSol. I det första steget jämfördes fönsterarea, g-värde, u-värde, orientering samt geografisk plats för att undersöka hur energi

Abstract:

About 25 % of the total buildings in the European Union have been categorized as ”old buildings”. Followed the recent strickt rules for carbon emissions reduction, each house has to approximetely cut 20 % of CO2 by 2020. Countries like England, have taken the issue very seriously and planning to reduce the carbon emissions by 30 % until the end of 2020 and by an extra 80 % by 2050 (Francis Moran, 2014). The aim of the report is to present how a traditional house can be retroffited into a passive house and also to identify the key points that every passive house should have. For the purpose of

Due to rising energy costs and concerns about global climate change, high performance buildings are more in demand than ever before. With roughly 20% of the total energy consumption in the United States being devoted to residential use, this sector represents a significant opportunity for future savings. There are many guidelines and standards for reducing building energy consumption. One of the most stringent is the Passive House Standard. The standard requires that that air infiltration is less than or equal to 0.6 air changes per hour at a 50 Pascal pressure difference (ACH 50), annual heat

Abstract:

Due to factors such as rising energy costs, diminishing resources, and climate change, the demand for high performance buildings is on the rise. As a result, several new building standards have emerged including the Passive House Standard, a rigorous energy-use standard based on a super-insulated and very tightly sealed building envelope. The standard requires that that air infiltration is less than or equal to 0.6 air changes per hour at a 50 Pascal pressure difference, annual heating energy is less than or equal to 15kWh/m2, and total annual source energy is less than or equal to 120 kWh/m2.

However, the airtightness induces new fire risks since it prevents the hot fumes of a fire inside the building from flowing out, leading to a pressure increase inside the house.

Abstract:

The thesis deals with the issue of architecture of a contemporary single-family house in The Beskydy region. In the introduction of the thesis The Beskydy region as well as the document of the Protected landscape area of Beskydy (Chráněná krajinná oblast - CHKO Beskydy) are described. In recent years the above mentioned topic has been discussed a lot among the architects and designers of the region. Current architecture in the CHKO Beskydy has been stagnating for years due to the fact that in this region quality architecture of a little higher level will always necessarily be in conflict with

På Hedlunda i Umeå finns Hedlunda förskola; en byggnad som innehåller förskoleverksamhet, ett storkök och en matsal. Byggnaden uppfördes 2014 och började nyttjas samma år. Byggnaden är projekterad av Sweco för att klara krav gällande allt från specialpedagogik till energi och miljö. Den är även certifierad enligt en internationell passivhusstandard. Syftet med examensarbetet är att granska om förskolan håller de energikrav den projekterats för, samt att jämföra byggnadens projekterade energianvändning med den i praktiken uppmätta. Det sistnämnda gjordes även för att utvärdera precisionen hos d

Abstract:

All new households were to be constructed with "near zero energy house standards" (NZE-house) by the year of 2020. The ambition to construct energy-efficient buildings had to increase rapidly in the spring of 2013.The purpose of this report was to increase the interest for building contractors to construct apartment buildings with passive house standards. By locating and evaluating experiences from an existing passive house a case study including interviews, field visits and document analysis was made. Research of literature regarding other passive houses in Sweden also helped to answer the fo

Abstract:

In the present time, when prices of energy go up continually, we can hear more and more about the topic of energy-cutting. Important role in this sphere performs low-energy development. Passive houses, which are specific type of low energy houses, cut heat demand significantly. It means marked improvement with the view of energy saving, protection of the environment, but also quality of living. There is no doubt that these constructions bring numerous advantages, as evidenced by ever-growing number of passive houses abroad. Nevertheless, in the Czech Republic are very little passive houses.

Abstract:

Different heating systems for space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) preparation are investigated with respect to their energy efficiency. In particular, a case study of a multi-storey Passive House (called An-der-Lan) is analysed by means of dynamic simulations. The first part of dynamic simulations focuses on the comparison of the UA and RC models for a simple office located in Rome. This is a case study from the project IEA SHC T56 – System Simulation Models. In particular, attention is put on the influence of the thermal capacity. Assuming the RC model as the reference case, variants

Under the pressure of energy shortage, energy saving has become one of the most important topics. The world isseeking different ways to follow the sustainable development concept and to solve the energy shortage crisis.This thesis is based on the idea of improving energy efficiency in the building industry which is one of thebiggest energy consumption industries. The aim of this paper is to simulate a renovation of an existing oldbuilding in Sweden according to the concept of building a Swedish Passive House and to see how much energycould be saved after the renovation.

Abstract:

This thesis studies the use of night ventilation as a passive cooling strategy for a traditional courtyard house in a hot dry climate. This was done by CFD simulation of the house and its surroundings, using weather data for Baghdad. The simulation was done for a large number of scenarios in which each represented a change in one of the house elements, such as courtyard and room dimensions, and in some cases included modern technologies such as a ceiling fan. The thesis suggests that performance should be calculated with the aid of a "Night Time Effectiveness Ratio" (NTER) and time constants.

Work first defines the essential terms related to the topic of economic rent, then it continues with theoretical determination of the economic rent, which consists of the costs and a reasonable profit. The determination of economic rent for residental Pasove building is done through inserting real values to a pre-described method of calculation. The result of diploma thesis is the determination of economic rents in number of 8 variants with varying degrees of capitalization levels and discount rates. Ide
