Studien går ut på att jämföra tre olika styrsystem för Ventilation, nämligen CAV (Constant Air Ventilation), VAV (Variabel Air Ventilation) och DCV (Demand Controlled Ventilation). Dessa styrsystem ställs mot varandra i tre olika lokaltyper, med syfte att identifiera det mest energieffektiva styrsystemet. Ett syftet med studien är också att upptäcka vid vilka flöden det lönar sig att arbeta med VAV- och DCV-styrsystemen..

Mechanical Ventilation is the most common type ofVentilation in newly constructed office buildings. Therehas been an interest to utilize natural Ventilationinstead of mechanical Ventilation among architects andHVAC consultants in recent years. This is due to thesize of mechanical Ventilation systems, which arespace consuming. The mechanical Ventilation system isalso complex and requires maintenance. Furthermore,the fan uses a considerable amount of energy.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Postoperative wound infection is the third most common nosocomial infection in Sweden. The ever-growing problem of antibiotic resistance provides surgical departments a big challenge when it comes to preventing the spread of infection. Operating theatre nurses have a vital role in the prevention of infection. In addition, correct Ventilation in the operating theatre is of great importance. The caregiver is responsible for quality assurance of Ventilation in the operating theatre, but the work can be delegated to other staff within the department.

One problem in today?s indoor air quality lies within insufficient Ventilation. Dynamic Ventilation can be obtained by implementing a Demand-Controlled Ventilation (DCV) system. DCV systems adjust the Ventilation in a building by calculating the impact made by its? occupants.

This report will show the energy usage of Hotel Princess in Sandviken, Sweden. When the hotel changed owner an examination of the hotels heating, Ventilation and sanitary systems were done. The report showed flaws in the Ventilation system, and is why the new owner wanted a closer look at the energy use of the hotel. The original building was built in the 1930s and two major extensions have been built, one in the 1950s and the most recent in the 1980s. An assumption made is that the building parts were built to the restrictions during the time. Activities on the hotel include sleep over, conference, night club, massage and swimming in the hotels pool section.

Bakgrund. Enligt den nya kompetensbeskrivningen för anestesisjuksköterskor framgår bland annat att anestesisjuksköterskan ska ha kompetens att övervaka och följa upp Ventilation och cirkulation hos sina patienter. Det har länge varit vanligt att använda volymkontrollerad Ventilation (VCV) till patienter som genomgår bukkirurgi. Nu finns det ett annat alternativ, tryckkontrollerad Ventilation (PCV). Det är ett omdiskuterat ämne huruvida det mer traditionella VCV eller det senare PCV ska tillämpas på patienter som genomgår bukkirurgi.

This rapport contains an examination of the energy consumption of a kindergarten, which areas that have the largest impact on the energy consumption and what can be done to reduce those areas in ways that are relatively easy and profitable. It is also analyzed if it is possible to reduce the energy consumption from today?s consumption to a consumption that fulfils the demands placed on low energy houses by FEBY.The focus has been on reducing the energy consumption of the areas Ventilation, heating system and hot water system, since those seemed to be the easiest ones to affect and since the building is quite recently built.There are different kinds of Ventilation systems, at the moment the building have a CAV-system, which means that the Ventilation is too high during large parts of the day. There are different ways to manage the Ventilation system, for example presence detection, humidity sensors, CO2 sensors, temperature sensors and season adjustment. Many of those are in the end dependent on CO2 sensors to guarantee a good indoor climate, therefore the focus have been placed on this system.

sustainable development by reducing the energy use by EU:s directive of energy efficiency and the UN Convention. The second purpose is to present the technical solutions regarding Ventilation and heating system that is being used in passive houses. This was done using 8 passive houses, 4 germany and 4 swedish passive houses. Even the international and Swedish system requirements for passive houses have been addressed in this project. The goal was also to explain how and why the mechanical system in passive houses has developed to the technology used today.

This masters thesis deals with smoke spread via Ventilation systems. One aim of the thesis is to investigate and explain the differences in efforts to prevent smoke spread via Ventilation systems in different countries. A second aim of this thesis is to investigate how frequently occurring smoke spread via Ventilation systems in Swedish buildings are. A third aim is to investigate how uncertainties in input variables to smoke spread calculations will affect the result of calculation. To be able to do this the most important input variables are identified and analysed.

Ofri luftväg kan uppstå på grund av bakåtfallen tunga hos den medvetslösa patienten eller om luftvägen blir tilltäppt av sekret, blod, maginnehåll eller främmande kropp. Att kunna säkerställa fri luftväg hos den medvetandesänkta patienten är en kompetens som varje anestesisjuksköterska måste behärska för att kunna säkerställa adekvat Ventilation. Syftet med studien var att beskriva om larynxmask (LMA) är en patientsäker metod för att skapa fri luftväg och upprätthålla adekvat Ventilation. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie där 19 vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades. Resultatet av de granskade artiklarna gav följande fem teman; LMA är en säker metod för att skapa fri luftväg, LMA är en säker metod för att upprätthålla adekvat Ventilation, personalens kompetens vid användning av LMA, aspirationsrisk vid användning av LMA med undertema LMA vid övervikt samt LMA vid elektiva- och akuta situationer.

Arbetet går ut på att genomföra en miljö- och energianalys av två pressgrupper i processhallen. Detta innebär att dagens process skall analyseras för att se om man genom olika system kan göra arbetsklimatet bättre för operatörerna samtidigt som en besparing av energi möjliggörs..

To be able to handle tomorrows need for limited energy consumption we need to reduce our use of energy. The building sector stands for around 40 % of all energy consumption in the society. The government has put up a goal to reduce the energy consumption in our buildings with 20 % by year 2020 and 50 % by year 2050 compared with year 1995. To be able to do reach that goal we need a more energy efficient building stock.The main part of the energy used in our buildings is used for space heating. By installing Ventilation systems with heat recovery on the exhaust air it is possible to use the heat-energy in the exhaust air to warm up the incoming air.

Den traditionella båsladugården har idag utvecklats till lösdriftstallar där korna har fri tillgång till foder och liggplatser. Korna mjölkas i antingen mjölkgrop, karusell eller av en robot. För att uppnå bra termisk komfort i lösdriftsstallen så använder man sig av naturlig eller mekanisk Ventilation. I detta arbete så undersöks några olika Ventilationssystem som använder sig av naturlig Ventilation på fem utvalda kostall för att se hur de fungerar i praktiken. Detta görs med fukt- och temperaturmätare och med rökpatroner för att se hur luften rör sig i stallet.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe intensive care nurses? experiences communicating with patients during mechanical Ventilation.Methods/design: A qualitative interview study. Interviews where analyzed using descriptive content analysisSetting: Nine intensive care nurses from two different intensive care units were interviewed using a semi structured interview guide.Background: Past research has shown that patients during mechanical Ventilation in the intensive care unit, feel very vulnerable and the helplessness of being unable to speak. These patients feels that they are completely dependent on the nurses and their competence. It has been shown to be very important that the patient feels included, acknowledged and respected.Results: The analyzed data resulted in a theme; through communication strive to preserve patients´ dignity and three main categories; create relationship to the patient, minimize patients´ vulnerability and don´t give up.

Elanvändningen till Ventilation har ökat med 40 % sedan 1990 i Sverige. Ventilationen är en miljöbov enligt undersökningar som visar att elanvändningen till Ventilationssystemens fläktar kan reduceras. Minskning av elförbrukningen kan t.ex. uppnås genom utbyte av fläktmotor till en EC-motor eller till en fläkt med bakåtböjda skovlar och direktdrift. Effektivieringsåtgärder kan ge en lägre elförbrukning på upptill 50 % i vissa applikationer.Ventilationsfläktarna i Sverige förbrukar 12,3 TWh per år.
