A significant amount of embodied energy, materials, and economic capital is tied to vacant and underused buildings. Sharing is an effective way to reduce the excess use of space. Beside sharing, much more focus should be placed on maximizing the functional use of existing buildings. Adaptive reuse can be effective not only in mitigating obsolescence, but also in enhancing the vitality of site surr

EQUITY: The Center Of Inequality Awareness offers an alternative viewpoint of the Naturum. It'sa way of learning about your surroundings through engaging activities that center on inequity. EQUITY, which is situated next to one of Sweden's greatest lime quarry, feels strongly about its cause, which is the inequality the workers had compared to investors. I was inspired by the uneven and n

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för ungefär en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning, där energianvändningen främst består av energi för uppvärmning. Energibesparingar på en byggnads uppvärmningsenergi kan göras med hjälp av tekniska åtgärder och genom förändring av brukarvanor. Det finns i dagsläget ett gap mellan den förväntade och faktiska energianvändningen i byggnader. Detta The aim of this report is to study occupants’ behavior to investigate the impact occupants’ behaviors, with an extra focus on different window opening behaviors, has on the total annual energy use in an apartment building. Other behaviors that are included in the study are use of household electricity, hot water use, and indoor temperature. The study will be performed as a literature study combine

Bristfälliga riktlinjer för lagring av biobränsle Kraftvärmeverk som lagrar och hanterar trädbaserade biobränslen efterfrågar tydligare riktlinjer för hur bränslen ska lagras för att förhindra uppkomst av brand. De befintliga riktlinjer som finns tillgängliga bygger inte på de senaste 30 årens drifterfarenhet och behöver uppdateras. Försäkringsbolag, branschorganisationer och forskningsinstitut ha

Frequent wildfires increasingly impact tourist populations, yet there is a shortage of evidence-based, human-centered tools for wildfire risk reduction tailored to these areas. Most current tools focus primarily on assessing and reducing physical vulnerabilities, overlooking human aspects. While some community wildfire management guidelines exist, actionable strategies for disaster managers to add

Flying foxes of the genus Pteropus are amongst the largest fruit bats and potential long-range pollinators and seed dispersers in the paleotropics. Pteropus giganteus (currently P. medius) is the only flying fox that is distributed throughout the Indian mainland, including in urban and rural areas. Using GPS telemetry, we mapped the home ranges and examined flight patterns in P. giganteus males ac

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety of Tekniska nämndhuset in Huddinge. The focus of the report is on the safety of people during evacuation in case of fire. Property and environmental damage has not been taken into consideration. Tekniska nämndhuset is an office building accommodating several administrations within Huddinge municipality, there is no co-operation regarding fi

Private insurance is an important governance mechanism to prepare for environmental disasters triggered by floods. It forms part of risk management and climate adaptation approaches aimed at the reduction of vulnerability and the rebuilding of damaged structures. However, flood coverage is often low. Germany is no exception to this, although it is a member state of the EU and involved in implement

The energy justice framework serves as an important decision-making tool in order to understand how different principles of justice can inform energy systems and policies. The realization of the urgency of providing modern energy technology and services particularly to rural areas has prompted both the Nepalese government and development institutions to focus on community-run renewable energy faci

PurposeArchitectural theorists have a long tradition of acknowledging the centrality of building users to architectural production. This article contributes to the discourse on architecture, actor–network theory (ANT), and users by proposing a typology of user translations ranging from supporting to tinkering to adjusting to resisting.Design/methodology/approachThe research utilises an ANT-inspire

Two-photon microscopy is the method of choice for imaging living cells and tissues (intravital microscopy). It allows imaging with very high temporal and spatial resolution in thick biological material. This MultiPark platform consists of two microscopy stations that serve different needs. The ‘in vivo’ setup can be used to image the processes in the living mouse, i.e. superficial layers of the ce

Arbetet med att identifiera och inventera förorenade områden är en del av Sveriges miljökvalitetsmål. Regeringen har fastställt 16 mål, och ett av dessa är Giftfri miljö. För att våra kommande generationer ska få leva i en miljö fri från föroreningar behöver vi städa upp efter nuvarande och tidigare farliga utsläpp. Landets länsstyrelser har fått i uppdrag av Regeringen att genomföra identifieringThe process of identifying and inventorying polluted areas is part of The Environmental Objectives in Sweden. The government has put down 16 objectives, and one of these is A Non-Toxic Environment. To ensure that our future generations will live in an environment free from pollution, we need to clean up after current and former hazardous emissions. All of Sweden’s Länsstyrelser have been commissio
