Research have shown that the correct integration of daylight and electric lighting reduces the energy use in buildings, while improving visual comfort. Smart shading systems, especially those electrically controlled, play an important role to control solar radiation. Similarly, smart and dimmable/tunable lighting can help to adjust the artificial light to the real users' needs. This paper presents
AI-tools are increasingly important for efficient warehouse operation. This study aims to analyze if and how the independent variables; knowledge of AI-tools, ex- perience in AI-tools and degree of automation can explain the dependent variable inventory turnover rate. A survey was distributed to a sample within the logistics industry to measure knowledge, degree of automation and experience. This
This paper presents initial research within a broader discourse about smart cities. Despite the existence of various discussions about the concept many questions are still opened. We bridge the gap by investigating the role of local governments and their initiatives to integrate new technologies in a city context. The study aims to investigate the adoption of technological innovation in smart citi
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur inställningen till ledningssystem är hos de anställda på företag inom svensk byggindustri. Arbetet ämnar även identifiera de kulturella utmaningar som kan uppstå vid användningen av ledningssystem. Studien har genomförts som en fallstudie på ett av Sveriges största byggföretag. Fallstudien inkluderar både intervjuer och observationer som genomföThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the attitude to management systems is among employees of companies in the Swedish construction industry. The thesis also aims at identifying the cultural challenges that may arise in the use of management systems. This thesis has been conducted as a case study at one of Sweden’s largest construction companies. The study includes both interviews and
The everyday struggle of cooking daily meals is something we all fight with every now and then, yet it’s a boorish task that needs to be completed. To improve this activity an inspiring design solution is needed that can assist in solving this problem. Research into the human psyche and user centered scenarios allowed for an understanding of what, how and why of these feelings we experience. To en
The aim of this research was to gain a more nuanced picture of sustainability in furniture retail by investigating how it is handled in a furniture retail chain. The chosen method was setting up a case study on MIO AB, the central organization of a Swedish franchise chain, where data was collected using interviews and observations. The theoretical framework focused on sustainability aspects in the

The construction industry accounts for a large proportion of the world’s total anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, CO2 among others. As a part of the effort to combat this are environmental certifications which have become increasingly more numerous and more frequent in use. This is partly because consumers have become more environmentally aware and motivated to pay more for products and
Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) have consolidated applications in energy conversion and storage systems, like fuel cells and battery separators. Moreover, in the perspective to address the global need for non-carbon-based and renewable energies, salinity-gradient power (SGP) harvesting by reverse electrodialysis (RED) is attracting significant interest in recent years. In particular, brine solutions
Today world’s cities are in a state of flux exhibiting complex dynamics and at the core of sustainability challenges including climate change and urbanization. At the same time cities have been acknowledged as agents of change when it comes to addressing these challenges. The urgency to address these problems has triggered cities to find smarter and innovative ways to deal with these challenges. C
