EU’s and the Swedish government’s requirements to lower the energy consumption for buildings are getting stricter. In April 30 2014 the law on energy metering (SFS 2014: 267) was issued. The law deals with energy metering in new construction and reconstruction, during 2015 a decision must be taken on how measurement in existing buildings should be handled. Individual metering and charging (IMC) co

Hur planerar man i ett tidigt skede för eventuella utbyggnader.

Detta examensarbete är utfört i samarbete med Tankens Trädgård, en förening som startade 2004. De strävar efter att skapa ett affärsnätverk för kvinnligt företagande. Via Campus Helsingborg sökte de studenter som kunde ingå i projekteringsgruppen Design och kommunikation. Tillsammans skulle vi formge ett mobilt rum, influerat av renässansen i Florens. Grundtanken är att skapa en mötesplats där man

Bakgrund i utbildningssystemet krav på uppdatering av kunskaper, ev. finns någon utredning eller t o m proposition från utbildnings departementet. Järnvägsskolans policy för fortbildning/grundutbildning. Sammanfattande kravbild inom jänrvägssektorn, tex kännedom om regelverk Intervjuer med ansvariga hur man anpassar sig till marknadens krav intervjuer med företag: vilka krav de ställer på sina ans

The theme of this essay has gradually grown as a way to merge the individual courses of Food Technology, Lund University, with a special interest regarding probiotics/lactic acid bacteria (LAB). We have studied the process of fermentation in sauerkraut with a hypothesis that “LAB will, with the environmental conditions they create, compete out other microorganisms”. We compared 3 different kinds o

Vattenskador är en av byggbranschens stora utmaningar. Badrum/våtrum är den värst drabbade delen i en bostad som är relaterade till fuktskador. Enlig Vattenskaderapport från 2008 uppstår ca 39 % av vattenskadorna i en bostad i våtrum. 50 % av alla golvrelaterade skador inträffar i våtrum. Med skadorna följer stora ekonomiska förluster. Det uppskattas att det går åt ca 100 miljoner kronor i veckan

This work is about creating a uniform language for Formidabel. At Formidabel, a panel of seven people was selected for sensory tests. One of the selected sensory tests was an identification test. The purpose of this test is to teach a new panel to detect aromas. The panel tested mashed potatoes containing different kinds of spices for each test. They were also tested with an identification thresho

Genom experimentella mätningar har vi tagit fram grafer för luftflöden och förlustfaktorer i spalt mellan vind- och regnskydd i putsade tvåstegstätade fasader. Detta är av betydelse för att veta att inträngande fukt kan torka ut så att konstruktionen inte tar skada. Mätningar gäller för konstruktioner med spaltbildande läkt från Lindab och Europrofil samt även för fallet med helt tom spalt. ResultBy experimental measurements we have developed charts for air flows in the space between the wind- and rain cover in parget two-step sealed facade. This is a presumption to give penetrating moisture a possibility to dry-out and the construction not to take damage. All measurements are based on structures with ventilated air space with profiles from Lindab and Europrofile. The results are then comp

The world has witnessed a remarkable growth over the last 50 years and the urbanisation is becoming a growing problem in many countries. In 1950 29 % of the world’s population lived in urban areas, in 2003 the urban population had grown to 48 %. In order to create a healthy environment in the fast growing cities it is important to have an infrastructure that works. Creating such a city is somethin

The purpose of this study is to show which possibilities the railways in the western part of Småland can offer to the inhabitants and industry within the region. The background is that the passenger traffic is suffering from unprofitability because of bad infrastructure standard, long journey times and low traffic density. The railway between Halmstad and Nässjö was completed 1882, and the branch

Reppe, a starch factory within the concern of Lantmännen is mainly producing starch from wheat but also gets gluten as a product in the process. Currently, the wheat gluten is primarily used to improve the properties of flour for bread-making and as an additive in the baking industry. But there is an interest to explore new uses of the product. To make this possible, the solubility of gluten has t

Vi har i detta examensarbete utfört samtidig mätning av värmeutveckling (hydratationshastigheten) och relativ fuktighet (självuttorkningen) hos hydratiserande cement. Denna studie har gjorts på fyra grundrecept med olika cement där vatteninnehållet har varierats för att få olika självuttorkning. Mätningarna av relativ fuktighet är utförda med RF-sensorer som ger utslag i millivolt som därefter omv

Östra Tommarp is the name of a small village situated outside Simrishamn in eastern Skåne. Bioagro-life is an ongoing project sponsored by the EU. The main ambition is to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the process of heatproduction. The project will produce a more environmental friendly alternative to present use of burners with oil as fuel. The heating of the facilities within the villag

We have in our thesis examined energy system for small houses for Skanska Teknik AB. The environment is a current issue in our society and buildings from the past are rarely energy effective, since many houses built during the seventies had heating based on oil or direct electricity. In new buildings it is more and more important to be energy efficient, to meet the demands from our future environm

The independent engineer In the current financial crises, a vacant job is an article in short supply. Good competence and academic titles are no longer a guarantee to receive an employment after examination. These circumstances require a capacity to see opportunities outside the box. When the labor market no longer can offer any jobs, there is two alternatives. Await an opportunity or create an op

Railway detail planning is divided in seven major technical branches; ground works, track, power supply, catenary, signalling, telecommunication and cable-trenching. Technical consultants perform detail planning at the request of a client, usually the Swedish Rail Administration (Banverket). The work results in design and other technical documents. According to common public opinion the quality in

“Comparing Apples & Oranges – A Life Cycle Perspective on the Energy Requirements in Swedish and British Columbian Building Codes” The requirements to decrease the energy use in a building vary in the building codes. “British Columbia Building Code” (BCBC) prescribes a nominal thermal resistance of insulation, while “Boverket’s Building Regulations” (BBR) requires an annual specific energy use
