I detta arbete studeras hur en systemombyggnad i kulturbyggnader kan gå till med avseende påinstallationerna. I Sverige finns det idag totalt ca 4,7 miljoner byggnader av vilka ca 235 000-280 000bör genomgå kulturbevarande byggnadsvårdsinsatser. Vid ombyggnad av ventilationen i enkulturbyggnad är det viktigt att man, samtidigt som man får en ändamålsenlig och energisnål lösning,tar hänsyn till byggnadens karaktär och förutsättningar så att den kulturhistoriskt värdefulla miljönbevaras.I detta arbete studeras tre olika kulturhistoriskt värdefulla byggnader som genomgått renovering avventilationssystemet under de senaste tio åren. Byggnaderna är Skridskopaviljongen, Dekanhusetoch Södra Bancohuset, som alla förvaltas av Statens fastighetsverk (SFV). Efter samtal, studier ochundersökningar om de tre byggnaderna visar det sig att det är viktigt att i början av ensystemombyggnad i en kulturbyggnad, först läsa in sig på byggnaden samt ställa sig frågorna: vad skabyggnaden användas till, vilken verksamhet passar här, vilket systemval kommer att passa brukarenbäst mm.

This C-level thesis deals with Russian tourism in Sweden and explains what measures are being used in Sweden in order to attract Russian tourists. Since a high number of companies and organizations are actively involved in developing Russian tourism to Sweden, we have decided to focus primarily on the most active Swedish and Russian companies within the industry. Therefore several big and well-established companies, often located in the largest cities of Russia and Sweden i.e. Stockholm, Moscow and St Petersburg, have been the subject of our analysis.Chapter ?Bakgrund? presents numerous facts and information about the nature and scale of the Russian tourist market today and in the nearest future.

Buildings worldwide account for 40 % of the total energy use. Climate change is of increasing importance, but few are willing to reduce their standard of living or get a higher cost for the change. Energy efficiency of existing buildings gives the greatest benefit economically and environmentally. The real estate company Klövern AB manages 46 properties in Karlstad. Heating is the major cost of the total operating costs of real estate. Rising energy prices increase the need for Klövern AB to improve energy efficiency and to investigate alternative sources of heat.

Abstract This degree project examines how much carbon dioxide that emits during the construction phase of a road project. This is to make it possible to compare how the amount of carbon dioxide differentiates between traditional road construction and Swepave construction, which is PEAB?s alternative way to design roads. To make the comparison a calculation tool has been produced. To compare the amount of carbon dioxide emissions a reference project was needed.

Uvån Hagfors Teknologi AB (UHT) has developed a process ? GRANSHOT® ? for quicksolidification of metals in water baths. In the process liquid metal is splintered ? granulated ?into small drops. The drops are rapidly cooled in a water bath where all the heat energy from theliquid metal is transferred into the water.

Grönt byggande ligger i tiden och är en av framtidens nyckelfaktorer för konkurrenskraft och samhällsansvar i byggindustrin. För att lyckas ser dock vi en avgörande betydelse i att grönt förankras i hela organisationen samt att en grundläggande förståelse skapas. För att bättre nå ut hela vägen till organisationen anser vi att implementering spelar en betydande roll.I vårt examensarbete har vi valt att analysera de problemområden som vi stött på inom grönt byggande, för att därefter bryta ned dessa till mer konkreta nyckel- och framgångsfaktorer. Med denna studie hoppas vi kunna bidra med en förståelse för hur Skanska, Region Hus Stockholm Bostäder ska arbeta vidare för att lyckas implementera grönt byggande samt nå företagets mål inom området. Frågan vi inledningsvis ställde oss var:Finns det idag några generella framgångsfaktorer som kan generera förslag till handling för att lyckas med strategiimplementering?Hur ska Skanska arbeta för att lyckas förmedla, engagera och implementera grönt byggande inom Regionen Hus Stockholm Bostäder, från ledning till projekt?Vi har angripit frågan genom att på regionen empiriskt studera nuläget inom grönt byggande.

Blast furnace is the heart of every steel plant. Steel production is based on the blast furnace process, as it is where the iron is extracted from the iron ore and turned into liquid iron, which will subsequently be used to make liquid steel. Therefore, without hot iron, steel can not be produced. Blast furnaces in this process are supplied among others with pulverized coal. Raw coal should be prepared for the blast furnaces in the form of fine coal powder.

Diversity of ground beetles (Col: Carabidae) in managed riparian grasslands. The carabid community in moist seminatural grasslands was studied at three different sites in mid-Sweden. Pitfall trapping was carried out during six weeks in spring and early summer 2003. Eight transects, each containing seven pitfall traps, were placed in three different management regimes, either late or continous grazing, or meadow. The species composition was analysed by ordination analyses, i.e. DCA and CCA.

In this thesis, the flows of reactive nitrogen (Nr) in Scania were investigated and quantified. The thesis was also intended to form a basis for comparison between the urban nitrogen flow and other flows of nitrogen within Scania. The management of nitrogen in society has disturbed the natural nitrogen cycle. This is linked to a series of environmental problems such as eutrophication, acidification, global warming and smog. The method used was Substance Flow Analysis (SFA) for Nr. For calculation and flow charts Scania was divided into three subsystems; air, water and society.

IRB 340, Flexpicker is an industrial robot used for sorting, packaging and the handling of details up to two kg. The Flexpicker is a delta robot, meaning that it with three arms controls a triangular plate, swivel, in a work area shaped like a cylinder. Joints using plain bearings connect the arms.The plain bearing in use today consists of a plastic ring which slides against a hard anodized joint ball. Despite the fact that the plastic contain friction-lowering additives, the bearing needs to be lubricated to prevent noise. Because the robot is used in food and drug handling environments, where the demands on hygiene are set very high, the robot is often washed.

This report is the result of a thesis conducted at the consulting firm Bjerking AB andis the final part of the Bachelor Programme in Construction Engineering at Universityof Uppsala. The work aims to investigate the costs and how the choice of ventilationsystem affects building projects during a long-term period. This report covers costssuch as investment, maintenance and energy but also how they affect residents andbuilders. Building regulations for energy consumption are expected to be tougher;therefore a comparison of two different heat recovery ventilation systems(HRV-system) was made. One system is based on a centrally placed unit that coversthe whole buildings ventilation through vertical shafts.

This report was written by Lisa Bengtson and Hanna Paradis and describes the degree thesis "Environmental impacts of solid waste treatment in the Metropolitan Region, Santiago, Chile ? a comparison between current system and incineration with energy recovery". The purpose of this thesis was to investigate if incineration with energy recovery could be motivated through an environmental perspective as an alternative to landfilling of solid waste in Santiago, Chile. The study was performed with Life Cycle Analysis as a theoretical base. In Santiago, situated in the thirteenth region of Chile, Región Metropolitana, lives 6,5 million inhabitants. The major part of the solid waste produced in the region is landfilled on three different sanitary controlled landfills situated outside the city center.

The purpose of this thesis project was to study how different companies are working with LastTime Buy and through that study propose improved ways of working with this for Scania CVAB. The project aimed at studying the work processes from three different perspectives:decision models, quality aspects and liability aspects between companies.To study this, qualitative interviews with one or several representatives from differentcompanies that are affected by or involved in Last Time Buy were used. Representatives wereselected partly from Original Equipment Manufacturers, suppliers, component manufacturersand companies offering third part solutions for Last Time Buy. The companies also reflecteddifferent industries. The interviews aimed to create an understanding for the methods used atthe different companies but also the ways of thinking and the knowledge behind the choice ofthese working methods.The analysis shows that the Original Equipment Manufacturers used very similar decisionmodels for Last Time Buy, but that external factors or the company strategy made them reachdifferent results.
