The aim of this final thesis is to make it easier for the customer of a new designed house to get a picture of what the house will look like inside before it has been built.A method, which can be applied by any construction company who likes to visualize there buildings, has been designed and tested. One works after a regular design planning which is transformed into a three dimensional model of the house. In a rendering program, materials and surfaces are chosen for the model and then a picture of the finished product is made. The programs used for this work are ADT 2006 and VIZ Render.To evaluate the use of this method I?ve chosen to cooperate with LB-Hus which is a housing company that is specialized in building detached houses.

The report is a building evaluation of an area south of Karlskoga`s urban area on the west side of the lake Möckeln, known as the western Möckelnstranden. The evaluation is carried out on the behalf of Karlskoga municipality.  The goal of the evaluation that is based on a mission statement is to create a basis for Karlskoga municipality for a detailed plan and exploitation of the area. The inventory contains suggestions on what should and should not be done with the environment and its buildings..

The purpose of this thesis is to examinethe possibilities for adding a floor to anexisting building using the two materialswood and sheet metal profiles as the loadbearing structure. An apartment buildingfrom the 60s has been used as referencehouse. Two different suggestions for thedesign are presented in the rapport. Oneof them has been analyzed with wood andsheet metal as the load bearing structure.Using the old constructional calculationsand blueprints of the existing buildings,the load bearing capacity has beencalculated. In the calculation programFEM-Design the building has been testedwith the loads that an extra floor wouldgive.

Eco certification of small housesTo construct an environmental friendly building and show that as a company you care for the environment, is presently very attractive in the Swedish real estate market.This degree thesis covers the environmental certification called ?Svanenmärkning? the Swan, witch is the Swedish equivalent to the European standard ?the EU Flower?. It is concentrated on the certification process in small houses that the Swedish institute of standard, SIS, has presented. We have worked together with the company Faluhus witch is a Swedish producer of small family houses.Faluhus is located in the town of Borlänge, Dalarna and has produced family houses since the 1950:s. They have a great heritage born in the old Swedish mining culture, with great wooden mansions and country homes.

Detta examensarbete handlar om utveckling och konstruktion av ett spjäll och spjällblad till en plattvärmeväxlare som ingår i Fläkt Woods AB:s produktsortiment.Bakgrunden till utvecklingen berodde på två problem med det nuvarande spjället. Ett problem var att det fanns vissa hygienproblem med befintlig konstruktion som behövde rättas till och ersättas mot en bättre lösning. Detta för att produkten ska kunna certifieras enligt normen VDI 6022. Det andra problemet var att den befintliga konstruktionen kändes gammal och behövde förbättras.Examensarbetet omfattar två stycken huvuddelar/mål. Den första delen är att finna ett material för att kunna täta i spjället på ett effektivt sätt.

To be able to plan for the expansion of a town, one needs a vision of the future appear-ance of the town. It is the current issues (social situation, supply and demand, political control etc.) which decide what the ideal for town planning is. This is turn is the steering factor of the physical structure of the town. Therefore, the town's structure is decided by these ideals.In this report, I will present planning ideals that have historically been, and which criticisms that have been directed towards them. With reference to these issues, I will present those guidelines and ideals we have today for planning of our towns.

Syftet med arbetet var att framställa en beräkningsmodell som behärskar att beräkna ett klimatsystems energiförluster samt livscykelanalys, LCC. Samt att använda denna modell vid jämförelse av två befintliga system.Modellen skapades i programmet Excell och använder sig av angiven indata för att beräkna resultat. Den användes för jämförelse av fyra lokaler i VIDEUM ABs byggnader. Två kontor och två föreläsningssalar jämfördes. Den beräknade skillnaden i energiförbrukning kunde i huvudsak härledas till det ena systemets längre drifttid över helgen samt att ett av kontoren drevs med högt konstantflöde hos ventilation även under frånvaro.Huruvida styrning av system sker efter koldioxidkoncentration eller temperatur verkar spela mindre roll för systemets förluster.

This bachelors thesis was made forWallenius Water AB to develop a basisfor an Airpurifier prototype. Wallenius Water isone of the world's leading environmentaltechnology companies engaged inchemical-free water treatment based onUV-radiation. The thesis aim was toproduce a basis for a prototype that canbe used in three applications:Standalone, RAS systems and ventilationsystems. The work includes anintroductory description of the theorybehind AOP technology based on aliterature review on the subject. Asurvey of products currently on themarket and a product specification hasbeen used as the basis for thepreparation of a number of concepts inthis report.

Students? performance in school is dependent on the indoor climate. This report studies four schools regarding air quality and thermal environment. A survey was made at the schools as well as measurements of carbon dioxide, dampness, thermal climate and, as an indicator for the furniture?s capability to collect dust, shelf factor and fleece factor.

If a building is heated by a heat pump, it is of high importance that the heat pump has a high coefficient of performance. An exhaust air heat pump extracts heat from the building?s exhaust air. The air has a relatively high and constant temperature all year around, leading to a high seasonal coefficient of performance. This thesis examines whether it is profitable to complement an exhaust ventilation system with an exhaust air heat pump in an apartment block that already has geothermal heat pump, district heating, oil- or biofuel heated system.

Detta examensarbete är en energianalys av Studentboendet på Nyhemsgatan, Kv. Gråstenen Halmstad, i samarbete med Halmstads Fastighets AB. Fastigheterna är byggda 1997 och är till antalet 11 stycken med sammanlagt 385 lägenheter, avsedda för studenter under den tid de studerar i staden. I var och ett av de 11 husen finns för gemensamt bruk ett allrum samt ett större kök där studenter kan samlas om så önskas och på entréplan finns en tvättstuga tillgänglig. En analys genomfördes genom att studera konstruktionsritningar, ventilation, värme och vattensystem samt att beräkningar på fastigheterna utfördes i datorprogrammen, VIP+ och Isover Energi vilka sedan analyserades. Med hjälp av termografering påvisar vi här köldbryggor vid fönster samt vid anslutningen vägg och vindsbjälklag. Till sist tog vi fram åtgärdsförslag som vi rekommenderar för att sänka energiförbrukningen. Bland dessa åtgärdsförslag kan nämnas installation av frånluftsvärmepump samt en översyn av duschanordningarna. Som sammanfattning kan sägas att byggnaderna är i ett gott skick men med höga energiförbrukningar där möjlighet till besparingar finns. .

All over the world the urbanisation increases at the expense of green areas. Many plants and animals are endangered today because their habitats gets smaller or disappear. The green areas that are left in city centres and suburbs are often small and surrounded by roads and buildings. Despite this, several studies have shown that these small green areas may house large biological diversity.This project aims to study the biological diversity in small green patches in residential areas. The study has been carried out in Råsunda in Solna municipality (Stockholm county) during the period May?July 2006.Three equivalent areas (5000?10 000 m2) with quite many old oaks were chosen for the study and inventoried for birds and saproxylic insects.

Glulam?s position at the Swedish market for building constructions has been established over the past decades. Factors affecting glulam demand are found both in global and national contexts as well in customer attitudes and knowledge of the material. Arguments for environmentally friendly and sustainable construction processes and energy-efficient designs are nowadays common, which is something that should motivate increased usage of wood as a renewable material. For the glulam industry to increase its sales, improve profitability and thereby gain market share in present competitive climate, reliable market information and updated market intelligence is required.
