▼ Renovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance to the European Union. Reduction of energy use for existing buildings can be achieved through applying energy efficiency renovation measures. Besides this, there is quite a large renovation need in Sweden due to building materials and services reaching (or having passed) the end of their service life.Incorrectly implemented, renovation measures can have negative impacts on the state of the building, and so can the lack of maintenance measures. In order to avoid negative outcomes, impacts of possible renovation and maintenance measures need to be evaluated. It is also important to be able to predict these impacts and therefore important to acquire data on them, but also more knowledge on how to isolate the impacts of such measures through field measurements.This thesis aims to assess the impact of relevant and applicable renovation or maintenance measures for buildings in temperate climates, primarily through field measurements. This thesis also aims to illuminate the process of field measurements for acquiring data for the assessment of renovation and maintenance measures. The empirical base for this has included five case studies on renovation or maintenance measures that are relevant for Swedish buildings, and a literature review. In order to illuminate the process of field measurements for the assessment of the impact that renovation and maintenance measures has on a building, this thesis has analyzed the research procedure in five case studies that have included such assessments. These case studies included measures that impacted on the energy use, the indoor environmental quality, and/or the moisture safety of a building.The thesis compares the setups of the field measurements in the case studies, discusses the details of the field measurements, the limitations in each study and the consequences thereof, and the knowledge that was gained through the analyses that were conducted. This empirical data, gained from these analyses, formed the basis for the illumination of the overall method for the assessment of renovation and maintenance measures through field measurements.The results in the included case studies show that the measures that have been evaluated have a beneficial impact on the energy use, and some also on the indoor environment. However, it is important to consider possible risks with implementing the measures in order to avoid negative outcomes. The case studies show that it is possible to determine the impact through field measurements, with accuracy. The analysis of the procedures in the case studies in this thesis shows that different measurement setups require different types of analyses in order to determine the impact of the measure. If field measurements are conducted on an object (e.g. a building) before and after the implementation of a measure, control parameters should be measured simultaneously in order to determine the impact of changes in these parameters on the object and thereby isolate the…

Inom byggindustrin genomförs besiktningar för att säkerställa att en entreprenad har levereratden beställda slutprodukten enligt de krav som beställaren angivit angående kvalitet ochfunktion. För att säkerhetsställa att besiktningsanmärkningar undviks i entreprenaden syftar denhär studien till att söka hjälpmedel som kan användas för att uppnå en förbättradbesiktningsprocess inom byggindustrin. För att undersöka hur och var en förbättring är möjligatt genomföra har en kartläggning över besiktningsanmärkningar utförts. Kartläggningenkompletterades med intervjuer för att få yrkesverksamma personer hos Skanska att ge sin synpå hur Skanska kan förbättra sin besiktningsprocess. Skanska har nyligen infört en nybesiktningsrutin i slutskedet av byggprocessen i syfte att minska antalet anmärkningar och fånöjdare kunder.I studien har effekten av den nya besiktningsrutinen undersökts och resultatet visar att de är pågod väg att nå sina mål men att det fortfarande finns förbättringspotential. Med den nya rutinenupptäcks anmärkningarna i ett tidigare skede än vad som gjordes tidigare, vilket skapar tid föratt avhjälpa dem innan slutbesiktningen. Det medför att anmärkningarna bli färre påslutbesiktningen även om det totala antalet fel fördelat över hela besiktningsprocessenfortfarande är detsamma.Resultatet från både kartläggningen och intervjuerna gav tydliga indikationer på var fokus börläggas för att uppnå en förbättrad besiktningsprocess. De bidragande faktorerna till det visaderesultatet diskuteras och förslag på förbättringsåtgärder presenteras.Förhoppningsvis kan rapporten bidra med en förståelse för hur besiktningsprocessen ibyggindustrin går till samt vilka de största felkällorna till att entreprenader får mångabesiktningsanmärkningar är och hur dessa skulle kunna undvikas.

Within the construction industry, inspections of the construction are made to secure that thequality and its functions are accurate according to the demands from the purchaser of theproject. This study examines different tools that can be helpful to use in order to secure a lowrange of inspection remarks to achieve an improved inspection process within the constructionindustry. To investigate how and where an improvement can be made, a survey of inspectionremarks were performed. The survey was supplemented by an interview to gain employersaspect on how Skanska could achieve an improved inspection process. Skanska has recentlyintroduced a new routine of the inspections, with the purpose of reducing the number of remarksand getting satisfied customer.The effect of the new routine has been studied and the result shows that Skanska is not far fromreaching the goal, however improvements can still be made. The new routine provides a betteropportunity to locate the remarks earlier in the construction process and there for more time torepair the remarks is gained. Thus there will be fewer remarks on the final inspection eventhough the overall numbers of remarks during the whole inspection process will remain thesame.Both the survey and interview…

▼ This thesis is devoted to the study of topological effects in quantum field theories, with a particular focus on phenomenological applications. We begin by deriving a general classification of topological terms appearing in a non-linear sigma model based on maps from an arbitrary worldvolume manifold to a homogeneous space G/H (where G is an arbitrary Lie group and H \subset G). Such models are ubiquitous in phenomenology; in three or more dimensions they cover all cases in which only some subgroup H of a dynamical symmetry group G is linearly realized in vacuo. The classification is based on the observation that, for topological terms, the maps from the worldvolume to G/H may be replaced by singular homology cycles on G/H. We find that such terms come in one of two types, which we refer to as `Aharonov-Bohm' (AB) and `Wess-Zumino' (WZ) terms. We derive a new condition for their G-invariance, which we call the `Manton condition', which is necessary and sufficient when the Lie group G is connected. Armed with this classification of topological terms, we then apply it to Composite Higgs models based on a variety of coset spaces G/H and discuss their phenomenology. For example, we point out the existence of an AB term in the minimal Composite Higgs model based on SO(5)/SO(4), whose phenomenological effects arise only at the non-perturbative level, and lead to P and CP violation in the Higgs sector. Consideration of the Manton condition leads us to discover a rather subtle anomaly in a non-minimal model based on SO(5) × U(1)/SO(4) (a model which does, however, feature an AB term not previously noticed in the literature). A particularly rich topological structure, with six distinct terms of various types, is uncovered for the model based on SO(6)/SO(4), which features two Higgs doublets and one singlet. Perhaps most importantly for phenomenology, measuring the coefficients of WZ terms that appear in any of these Composite Higgs models can allow one to probe the gauge group of the underlying microscopic theory. As a further application of our results, we analyse quantum mechanics models featuring such topological terms. In this context, a topological term couples the particle to a background magnetic field. The usual methods for formulating and solving the quantum mechanics of a particle moving in a magnetic field respect neither locality nor any global symmetries which happen to be present. We show how both locality and symmetry can be made manifest, by passing to an otherwise redundant description on a principal bundle over the original configuration space, and by promoting the original symmetry group to a central extension thereof. We then demonstrate how harmonic analysis on the extended symmetry group can be used to solve the Schr{ö}dinger equation. To conclude our study of topological terms in sigma models, we show that the classification we have proposed may be rigorously justified (and generalised) using differential cohomology theory. In doing so, we introduce the notion of…

▼ The seismic performance of nuclear power plant (NPP) structures constructed on compacted, coarse-grained soil depends on the soil’s cyclic shear stress – shear strain – volumetric strain response. NPPs founded on a thick deposit of dense coarse-grained soil may experience nontrivial settlements due to small, but accumulated volumetric strains during an earthquake. Studies that have investigated the seismic response of granular are primarily limited to unidirectional loading. However, since seismic events are multidirectional in nature, design based on unidirectional studies may lead to underestimation of vertical strains, and nontrivial settlements that can impact structures. While correlations to estimate vertical strains from drained and undrained cyclic element tests are available, they do not all explicitly incorporate multidirectional shaking. Moreover, typical drainage conditions in the field may be partially drained while shaking-induced vertical strains accumulate. This work forms a unique database of dynamic centrifuge “case-histories” that provide insight into the shear and volumetric response of dense coarse-grained soils under unidirectional and bidirectional loading under partially drained conditions. Dynamic centrifuge tests were performed on thick (up to 20m) layers of saturated dense Ottawa sand (D = 95%) with models representing both free-field and a soil-structure (near field) system excited using unidirectional and bidirectional historical broadband motions. Free-field centrifuge experiments highlight that shear response in each orthogonal direction is not affected by multidirectionality. Thus, site shear response can be estimated for use in one-dimensional non-linear site response analysis. In contrast, centrifuge tests illustrated that volumetric strains (v) and excess porewater pressures (evaluated in terms of excess porewater pressure ratio, ru) are affected by multidirectionality irrespective of density, with the ratios of bidirectional to unidirectional v and ru ranging from 1 to 4. Consequently, multidirectional factors relationships for v and ru are proposed as a function of FSliq. Furthermore, Energy-based intensity measures (Arias and Housner intensities) provided nearly unique estimates of excess PWP and (v) for both 1D and 2D motions, indicating that they capture multi-directionality effects, while vectored peak accelerations and velocities (PGA and PGV) yielded different relationships for 1D and 2D motions. A semi-empirical hyperbolic (GQ/H), simplified model based on ground motion intensity parameters (e.g., Housner Intensity), and shear wave velocity (Vs) is proposed to estimate vertical strains in dense coarse-grained soils under free field conditions. Comparison of GQ/H model predictions and estimates based on undrained cyclic shear tests indicated that the latter consistently overpredicts the measured settlements in the dense sand profiles. In contrast, the approach based on drained cyclic shear tests reasonably agrees with both measured settlements and GQ/H-v model. Further… Advisors/Committee Members: Olson, Scott M.

▼ How Foundations’ Field-Building Helped the Reproductive Health Movement Change the International Population and Development Paradigmby Perrin Liana ElkindDoctor of Philosophy in SociologyUniversity of California, BerkeleyProfessor Ann Swidler, ChairScholars have demonstrated that foundation grants channel social movements by encouraging professionalization and favoring moderate tactics, but they have overlooked critical mechanisms of foundation influence. Advancing Tim Bartley’s (2007) field-building framework, I identify new mechanisms—including grants and activities other than grantmaking—through which five foundations helped channel the international Reproductive Health movement between 1990 and 2005, shaping its composition, trajectory, and outcomes. The first of its kind, this study combines an analysis of an original data set including 8,103 grants made by five major philanthropic foundations from 1990-2005, interviews with foundation staff and leadership, and archival data, with an historical narrative of the population field and the Reproductive Health movement. I explain foundations’ roles in the Reproductive Health movement’s successful campaign targeting the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). There the movement transformed the population field’s frame from Family Planning—reducing fertility through increasing access to contraceptives—to Reproductive Health—meeting women’s broader reproductive health needs and advancing gender equality.Unlike scholars who focus on movement organizations that receive grants, I analyze the grants themselves, including those to both movement and non-movement actors. Through examining the grants’ purposes and the movement’s trajectory, I find that foundations’ field-building mechanisms included grants for research; communications; capacity-building, technical assistance, and training; networks/conference; and policy work. Grants to non-movement actors indirectly contributed to the movement’s success by supporting the movement’s strategy or shaping its context. In addition to their material resources, foundations apply unique human and symbolic resources toward field-building. Mechanisms other than grantmaking that foundations used included brokerage, advocacy, and coordination. The foundations’ field-building work helped to certify movement actors and frames and to diffuse frames. Foundations’ operations and programs were influenced by the historical eras in which the foundations were established and by the founders’ involvement. Staff and board members’ professional and personal networks were also influential, as was the presence of movement actors on staff. Status pressures within the foundation, the philanthropic sector, and the program area further shaped the foundations’ work. From the 1950s through the 1980s, the Ford and Rockefeller foundations helped establish the population field and the frame that the Reproductive Health movement later challenged at ICPD. Ford, MacArthur, and Rockefeller aided the ICPD campaign,…

▼ There is a growing interest in straw bale construction for its low embodied energy and insulation value. Early studies of its structural behaviour and fire resistance have shown it to be a viable alternative to traditional building techniques. However, the biggest remaining obstacle to widespread acceptance is the moisture behaviour within the straw bale walls, especially as it concerns mould growth. The uncertainty of this behaviour leads to the hesitation of building officials and insurance providers to freely accept straw bale construction. Therefore, this study investigates the moisture, temperature and mould growth in straw bale walls, through a combination of analysis, dynamic modeling and field studies. A study of mould is presented along with the current methods available for predicting mould growth. Moisture is the primary controllable factor to mould growth in buildings. Therefore, an understanding of moisture accumulation within straw bale walls is necessary to provide a safe design that precludes mould growth. This study compiles the current state of knowledge of the hygrothermal properties of the materials used in straw bale walls. Then a parametric steady-state analysis is conducted to show the expected behaviour of vapour diffusion and the effects of the material properties. Two 14”thick x 6’ wide x 8’ high straw bale test walls were constructed: one was rendered with a typical cement-lime plaster and the other with a clay plaster. Temperature and moisture were monitored throughout the walls for over a year. These test walls provide more information on the macro behaviour of the walls to both vapour diffusion and, more importantly, rain. Hygrothermal computer modeling was conducted and compared to the test data to assess its accuracy. Thermal modeling was successful, while moisture modeling was found to be more difficult due to a lack of accurate rain data. With better climate data it is expected that accurate hygrothermal modeling of straw bale walls is possible. The result of this work is a general starting point for more detailed studies of the hygrothermal behaviour of straw bale walls with the ultimate goal of assessing the mould risk for various construction techniques and locations.

Due to global climate change, which recently published the official report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), are placed on reducing the emissions into the atmosphere greater demands on. If architects previously were requested by the client, building with optimal solutions and functional expression of aesthetic quality, so now in addition to increasing demand on building´s solution with low power consumption using environmentally friendly materials from renewable resources and completely satisfying idea of sustainable development. Global societal trends is reverting to the traditional approaches to creating an environment (the application of natural materials, Feng Shui, Building Biology, etc.). The growing trend in today's society on issues of sustainable development, conservation of natural conditions, examining the effects of construction on human health and psychological well-being, which the aims bring together experts seemingly unrelated fields such as geophysics, medicine, architecture, civil engineering, etc., and their findings, according to aspects of the disciplines draw general rules of healthy living. Emerging and still evolving field aims to examine the relationship between man and his environment. The logical starting point is therefore in the context of examining the structure of the first dwelling. Buildings where people spend at least one third of their life. Building, whose location, orientation, mass, materials used in building itself as well as those that surround people in the interior, and many others will affect the physical and physiological action. Not only health but also mental well-being of man is as much determined by a whole range of relationships and linkages. Structural system guidelines for healthy living is the main reason of the work, clear what assumptions we have taken into account in the design and how it specifically relates to a quality place to rest – the Geomagnetic field is one of the base point, which lead to healthy living. Interaction of architecture and geomagnetic field and their values are processed in the evaluation system. It would lead to clarification of the relationship between the occurrence of these anomalies and building materials, construction, site selection for construction of buildings and other solutions. I will desribing the relationship between human´s health and the incidence of these artificial or natural anomalies at the same time.

▼ Forecasting eruptions using volcano seismology is a subject that affects the lives and property of millions of people around the world. However, there is still much to learn about the inner workings of volcanoes and how this relates to the chance of eruption. This dissertation attempts to increase the breadth of knowledge aimed at helping to understand when a volcano is likely to erupt and how large that eruption might be. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on a technique that uses changes in the local stress field beneath a volcano to determine the source of these changes and help forecast eruptions, while Chapter 4 focuses on a technique that shows great potential to be used to image magma chambers beneath volcanoes by using receiver functions. In Chapters 2 and 3 the source mechanisms of shallow volcano-tectonic earthquakes recorded at Mount St. Helens are investigated by calculating hypocenter locations and fault plane solutions (FPS) for shallow earthquakes recorded during two eruptive periods (1981-1986 and 2004-2008) and two non-eruptive periods (1987-2004 and 2008-2011). FPS show a mixture of normal, reverse, and strike-slip faulting during all periods, with a sharp increase in strike-slip faulting observed in 1987-1997 and an increase in normal faulting between 1998 and 2004 and again on September 25-29, 2004. FPS P-axis orientations (a proxy for ó1) show a ~90° rotation with respect to regional ó1 (N23°E) during 1981-1986 and 2004-2008, bimodal orientations (~N-S and ~E-W) during 1987-2004, and bimodal orientations at ~N-E and ~S-W from 2008-2011. These orientations are believed to be due to pressurization accompanying the shallow intrusion and subsequent eruption of magma as domes during 1981-1986 and 2004-2008, and the buildup of pore pressure beneath a shallow seismogenic volume during 1987-2004 and 2008-2011. Chapter 4 presents a study using receiver functions, which show the relative response of the Earth beneath a seismometer. Receiver functions are produced by deconvolving the vertical component of a seismogram from the horizontal components. The structure of the ground beneath the seismometer can then be inferred from the arrivals of P-to-S converted phases. Receiver functions were computed for the Katmai Volcanic Group, Alaska, at two seismic stations (KABU and KAKN) between January 2005 and July 2011. Receiver functions from station KABU clearly showed the arrival of the direct P-wave and the arrival from the Moho; however, receiver functions from station KAKN did not show the arrival from the Moho. In addition, changes in the amplitude and polarity of arrivals on receiver functions suggested that the structure beneath both KABU and KAKN was complex. Station KABU is likely underlain by dipping layers and/or anisotropy, while station KAKN may lie over a basin structure, an attenuating body, or some other highly complex structure. However, it is impossible to say for certain what the structure is under either station as the azimuthal coverage is poor and thus the structure is unable to be modeled.…

▼ Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are the most abundant hetero-polysaccharides found in mammalian tissues, and serve a variety of important biological roles in the body. They can be found predominantly in the extracellular matrix or cell surface, usually covalently attached to proteins. From providing tensile strength and tissue compressibility, to aiding in cell proliferation and recognition, to being key receptors for viral entry, they offer several avenues of therapeutic interest. GAGs are typically composed of repeating units of hexosamine and uronic acid pairs, that are often variably sulfated, leading to tremendous structural heterogeneity and a high charge density, making structural analysis and elucidation of binding modes very challenging. This presents an opportunity for computational modeling methods to provide insight into the structure and function of these molecules. The key to effective theoretical modeling of biomolecules is the use of a dependable and validated force field. This work presents a validation of the recent addition of parameters that enable modeling of sulfated GAG sequences to the GLYCAM force field, through a comparison of experimental NMR scalar coupling constants and NOE distances with theoretical data. The analysis demonstrates that the new force field parameters are capable of reproducing NMR observables for a number of GAG fragments. These parameters have been employed for designing the Glycosaminoglycan Builder, a point-and-click structure modeling utility on GLYCAM-Web, to facilitate 3D structure modeling of GAG fragments. The interface provides separate sets of monosaccharides, unique to each class of GAGs, allowing easy selection of pre-sulfated options for each monosaccharide. We also employ these parameters to study the binding of variably sulfated heparin fragments to chemokine CCL5. The study demonstrated a dependence of the ability of heparin tetrasaccharides to inhibit CCL5-CCR1 binding on the pattern and extent of sulfation. An analysis of the binding mode of a longer heparin fragment to the protein, as well as an examination of the effect of pH on CCL5-heparin binding was also performed.

▼ A new concept of integrating PV modules to the south-facing walls of a building is developed. The feasibility of the concept is studied by means of experiment, CFD computations and building energy simulation. An air gap between the backsheet of the modules and the building wall is employed for circulating outdoor air to cool the modules, keeping their efficiency high. The heated air is exploited by the HVAC and service water system, thus improving building energy efficiency. Experimental data in real world operating conditions are critical to support the design optimization of the concept and layout. A testing device was designed for this purpose and subjected to indoor and outdoor testing. Three operating modes are tested: natural convection (no fan), and forced convection cooling by means of two different capacity axial fans. The transient electrical and thermal behavior of the device was recorded outdoors, for several hours during a number of days in summer and autumn. Further investigation of the air flow and velocity fluctuation field was carried out by means of indoor measurements in the above mentioned flow modes. The flow and heat transfer investigation of the device was supported by CFD modeling that also helped to the determination of more accurate wall heat transfer correlations. Based on reasonable assumptions and exploiting the indoor and outdoor measurements’ results, average convection coefficients were estimated to the order of 4 W/m2K for natural convection (no fan), 10 W/m2K for the low capacity viii Olympia Zogou fan and 10.6 W/m2K for the higher capacity fan. The existing average Nu/ Re or Nu/ Ra number correlations were improved after they have been found to underestimate Nu by a factor of 2 in the specific flow regime. The heat transfer correlations were used to improve the respective sub model of the TRNSYS building energy simulation, which was employed in the computation of the overall effect on the energy performance of the modules, by means of the electricity produced by the PV panels, the heating energy gains and their overall effects on the energy rating of the building. The annually produced electricity is calculated at the order of 750 kWh/ kWp. The respective thermal energy gain for space heating in winter amounts to 310 kWh/kWp. An additional annual thermal energy gain at the order of 210 kWh/ kWp was calculated for service water heating during the summer. For comparison, the respective electrical energy produced by rooftop installation of south-facing modules at optimal slope in the same location, amounts to 1200 kWh/ kWp approximately, with no further exploitable thermal gains. The results of this study show that the selection of flow rate and duct dimensions are affecting significant to the performance of the PV facade. According to the building energy simulation, measurable improvements in the thermal gains of the building can be succeeded by an improved design of the backsheet (enhancing heat transfer by micro-fins, modified backsheet material etc.). It should be noted that up to…

I denna rapport utforskas möjligheterna med BIM-modeller som finns på dagens byggarbetsplatser. Trots att BIM erbjuder effektivare lösningar inom områden som bland annat visualisering, samordning och kvalitetsarbete, är det få projekt som aktivt använder sig av BIM på byggarbetsplatsen. Den här rapporten syftar till att belysa potentialen med BIM under produktionsfasen samt analysera svårigheter som finns, då produktionspersonal vill använda sig av BIM-modellen. Det långsiktiga målet med rapporten är att främja framtida användning av BIM i produktionsfasen. I arbetet produktionsanpassas delar av BIM-modellen för Skanskas och Vasakronans samverkansprojekt Klara C till att den kan användas ifrån en handhållen enhet. Genom att visa praktiska tillämpningar, med verktyg och BIM-modeller som finns tillgängliga idag, synliggörs möjligheter med BIM i byggproduktionen. För att ha möjlighet att påverka kvalitet och format på den BIM-modell, vilken ändå uppförs vid projekteringen, är det av stor vikt att tidigt beakta vilka effekter ett aktivt användande av BIM har i produktionsfasen. Slutsatsen sammanfattas i ett antal frågeställningar som planerande personal bör ha i åtanke, detta för att främja en utvecklande och värdeskapande användning av BIM även ute på byggarbetsplatsen. Vilken nytta tillför modellen i det specifika projektet? Ex. Samordning, tidsplanering eller visualisering. Hur ska modellen användas av produktionspersonalen? Ex. Vilken enhet (Surfplatta/PC) Vilka krav ställs då på BIM-modellen? Ex. Detaljeringsnivå, parametrar. Vad krävs av arbets- och informationsflöden? Ex. Format på leverans av modell/modeller. Är tillämpningen anpassad till användaren? Ex. Behövs det ytterligare stöd i form av kortare utbildningar eller kurser?

This thesis explores the potential of the BIM-models available at today's construction sites. There are few projects that actively use BIM on the construction sites, despite the fact that BIM offers efficient solutions in areas such as visualization, coordination and quality control. This report aims to highlight the potential of BIM during the production phase and to analyze the difficulties that exist when production staff wants to use the BIM model. The long term goal of this report is to promote use of BIM in the production phase. In this report, parts of the BIM-model of Skanska and Vasakronan collaborative project Klara C, is adapted so that it can be used from a handheld device. Positive effects from active use of BIM-models are shown with the tools and BIM-models that are available today. In order to influence the quality and setup of the BIM-model, which is produced during the design stage, it is of great importance that all potential applications of the model is taken in to account. The conclusion is summarized in a number of questions that planning staff should keep in mind in order to promote value-adding use of…

▼ Glazed spaces ranging from small glazed verandas to large atrium buildings have become a common feature in architecture. A glazed space is greatly affected by aspects of the outside climate such as insolation and temperature. In the design of such spaces, more sophisticated design tools are therefore required in order to estimate the climate inside the glazed space and the energy requirements for heating and cooling than in the design of ordinary buildings. One object has been to elucidate the relationship between building design and the climate, thermal comfort and energy requirements in different types of glazed spaces. Another object has been to study the effect of the glazed space on energy requirements in adjacent buildings. It has also been the object to develop a simple calculation method for the assessment of temperatures and energy requirements in glazed spaces. The research work has mainly comprised case studies of existing buildings with glazed spaces and energy balance calculations using both the developed steady-state method and a dynamic building energy simulation program. Parameters such as the geometry of the building, type of glazing, orientation, thermal inertia, airtightness, ventilation system and sunshades have been studied. These parameters are of different importance for each specific type of glazed space. In addition, the significance of each of these parameters varies for different types of glazed spaces. The developed calculation method estimates the minimum and mean temperature in glazed spaces and the energy requirements for heating and cooling. The effect of the glazed space on the energy requirements of the surrounding buildings can also be estimated. It is intended that the method should be applied during the preliminary design stage so that the effect which the design of the building will have on climate and energy requirement may be determined. The method may provide an insight into how glazed spaces behave with regard to climate and energy.

Society is becoming increasingly dependent on the development of institutions generatingsustainability. In order to speed up this development there is a need to find, evaluate andgeneralize existing institutional mechanisms holding this characteristic. In this study, the current theoretical framework is expanded to describe how an institution shouldbe designed to generate sustainability. To explain this, a distinction is made between short-termefficient markets (currently known as Pareto-efficient markets) and long-term efficient markets(currently known as ‘strong’ or ecologic sustainability). Further, a sustainable development isdefined as a combination of short-term and long-term Pareto-efficiency. This implies that aconsumption decision today cannot make an individual better off, without making anothercurrent or future individual worse off. Green building certifications are an interesting candidate to empirically test the theoreticalframework. An empirical study was made in cooperation with Confederation of Indian Industry -Indian Green Building Council, consisting of 18 qualitative interviews with companies andexperts in the Indian building industry. The main purpose of the study has been to investigatewhy actors engage in green building and green building certifications, or why they do not. Theresults have then been analyzed and put in an institutional context. Building on these results, conclusions have been drawn that bring a valuable perspective to theongoing debate on sustainability. Green building certifications have several interestingcharacteristics contributing to a sustainable development. Most importantly, results areindicating that short-term economic efficiency can lead to long-term mechanisms generatingsustainability. However, there are also limitations to the growth of certifications as an institution,e.g. cultural aspects, risk of ambiguity and insufficient levels of human capital.

Utvecklingen av institutioner som genererar hållbarhet blir allt viktigare. För att påskynda dennautveckling finns det ett behov av att hitta, utvärdera och generalisera befintliga institutionellamekanismer som uppfyller denna egenskap. För att kunna beskriva hur en institution bör utformas för att generera hållbarhet, utökar dennastudie det aktuella teoretiska ramverket. En distinktion görs mellan kortsiktigt Pareto-effektivamarknader (detta är att likställas med nuvarande begreppet ’Pareto-effektiva marknader’) ochlångsiktigt Pareto-effektiva marknader (detta är att likställas med ’ekologisk hållbarhet’). Vidareär hållbar utveckling definierad som en kombination av kortsiktigt- och långsiktigt effektivamarknader. Detta innebär att ett konsumptionsbeslut idag inte kan öka välfärden för en individ,utan att minska välfärden för en annan nuvarande eller framtida individ. Certifieringar för hållbart byggande är en intressant kandidat för att empiriskt testa det teoretiskaramverket.

Esse estudo, realizado na comunidade rural do Córrego do Palha (Brasília-DF), traz os resultados da implementação de iniciativas de educação ambiental (EA) não-formal focadas no tema água. A dissertação foi construída sob o alicerce teórico-metodológico críticodialético, através da metodologia da pesquisa participante e teve três eixos principais. O primeiro foi a realização de um diagnóstico socioambiental participativo com enfoque nos recursos hídricos locais. Como resultados do diagnóstico foi possível desenhar uma comunidade bastante heterogênea em relação à dimensão sócio-econômica. No cenário ambiental, foi revelado que um dos corpos dágua da comunidade, o Córrego do Palhinha, se encontra impactado pelas ações locais, o que é preocupante do ponto de vista da gestão local dos recursos hídricos. No entanto, o diagnóstico também revelou que a comunidade do Palha está bastante receptiva ao desenvolvimento de ações futuras de EA. Partindo da constatação desta realidade, o desenvolvimento de um trabalho de acompanhamento pedagógico e formação com as educadoras comunitárias se firmou como o segundo eixo da pesquisa. Como resultado desse processo está a implementação do programa de EA, o Amigos do Palhinha. A implantação desse projeto, que teve como objetivo a revitalização do Córrego do Palhinha, só foi viável graças ao envolvimento e à participação das educadoras na sua concepção e execução, além do apoio da população local. O terceiro eixo da dissertação foi a realização e acompanhamento de uma das ações do Amigos do Palhinha, um estudo do meio construído a partir de saídas de campo. Essa atividade, desenvolvida com crianças e adolescentes da comunidade, foi voltada para a interpretação da realidade ambiental local. Alguns resultados alcançados nessa etapa foram a produção de conhecimentos sobre o contexto socioambiental e o re-conhecimento do Córrego do Palhinha como um elemento importante da paisagem, a partir do desenvolvimento de um novo olhar. Apesar de bastante recheada, essa pesquisa traz uma mensagem simples: é necessário o conhecimento da nossa realidade mais próxima, o (des)envolvimento de vínculos com essa realidade e de participação para concretizar ações que levem à sua mudança.

This study, developed in Córrego do Palha rural community (Brasília-DF), brings the results of the implementation of non-formal environmental education (EE) actions having water as its theme. The thesis was built through a participatory research methodology that had three main axis. The first one consisted of a social and environmental participative diagnosis focused on the local water resources. According to its results it was possible to picture a very heterogeneus community regarding the socio-economic dimension. The environmental scenario revealed that one of the communitys water bodies, Palhinha stream, is impacted due to local actions, which is a concern for the management of local water resources. On the other hand, the diagnosis also revealed that the community seems to be receptive towards future EE actions. The…

▼ Moisture buffering in the indoor environment is the ability, through absorption and desorption, of surface materials to attenuate the moisture variations of the indoor air. Moisture buffering plays an important role in understanding the risks for biological growth in surface materials in the indoor environment, e.g., mold growth on walls and house dust mites in beds, and thereby also have an impact on the health of the inhabitants. Apart from the health aspects, moisture buffering is also important to take into account in hygrothermal calculations as well as for design of indoor climate systems. The interaction between surface materials and the humidity of the indoor air is the scope of this Ph.D.-project reported in this thesis. The main objective is to enhance the understanding of the moisture buffering of surface materials in the indoor environment. The focus has been on moisture buffering in textile materials and upholstered furniture, common to Scandinavia. The moisture buffering has been investigated through experimental work, field measurements and modeling. The experimental work covers development of laboratory methods and determination of basic material properties to full scale climatic chamber measurements. A definition scheme regarding the moisture buffering in the indoor environment, at three spatial levels ?material, component and room level, is proposed. Within the project, a method, to determine sorption isotherms has been developed. The moisture sorption properties for textile materials, common in the indoor environment, have been determined. The moisture conditions in a chair seat and in two bed systems have been investigated through climatic chamber measurements and field measurements, respectively. Both types of upholstery have also been studied through mathematical models. The impact of furniture and furnishing, on moisture buffering performance, was studied in a full scale climatic chamber study. The main conclusion from the project is that moisture buffering in furniture and furnishing will be important in the moderation of indoor humidity variations with short time scales (hours and days).

▼ Consultative approaches in Victorian state funded kindergartens operate presently as the Preschool Field Officer (PSFO) program. Described as a service delivery model (DET, 2015a), the PSFO program is designed to ‘ensure that early childhood teachers and educators continually improve their capacity to provide young children who have additional needs with the experiences and opportunities that promote their learning and development, and enable then to participate meaningfully in the program’ (DET, 2015a, p. 8). Contemporary documents detailing the PSFO program have been recently revised within the context of shifts and reforms to early childhood education in Australia. The provision of early childhood education has arguably changed since the Council of Australian Governments (COAG, 2009) endorsed ‘Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia’ (EYLF), the first national framework in Australia. Providing guidance to all practitioners working in early childhood education, including PSFOs, principles, practices and outcomes are framed within a model of collaboration with children, families and educators. Significantly, the EYLF advocates for practitioners to view children as competent learners (DEEWR, 2009). Currently, Victorian early childhood programs operate under both the national EYLF and the Victorian Early Years Learning Development Framework (VEYLDF), the Victorian State Government document introduced in 2009. This document guides early childhood professionals to work with children from birth to eight years through a focus on outcomes, practice principles and transitions. Positioned within these curriculum documents, early childhood educators’ practices thread between early years’ programs and also the school-based Victorian Curriculum and transition to school frameworks. Underpinned by Foucault's genealogical approach (1977) and ethnography, this study critically examines written and visual documents, by examining and rendering visible complex processes and discursive shifts from the 1960 – 1985 timeframe. Texts selected for examination included contemporary and past Victorian State Government documents and visual images authorised by the National Union of Australian University Students (Roper, 1971). By interpreting the complex processes and changes over this timeframe, an opportunity presents to understand by attempting to make meaning of what might be now known about contemporary consultative services operating in Victorian kindergartens. The findings in this study indicate that in contemporary times discourses of governmentality dominate consultative practices, compelling PSFOs to enact ‘techniques and procedures for directing human behaviour’ (Foucault, 1997, p. 81), in a myriad of complex and contradictory manners. Juxtaposed with practices in the past, I argue that (inter)relating multiple discourses have historically dominated early childhood education. Discourses include: health with supervision, additional needs education with developmentalism, and…

▼ Régis par une rhétorique opposant « science » et « politique », les programmes de stations spatiales civiles sont présentés comme projets diplomatiques censés adoucir des tensions géopolitiques, justifiés par les possibilités d’expérimentation en condition de micropesanteur qu’ils octroient à la communauté scientifique et industrielle internationale. Précédée par des collaborations officieuses entre laboratoires européens et soviétiques, l’Europe de l’Ouest entre dans l’exploration spatiale habitée en 1982. Depuis, l’entraînement et le transport des astronautes de l’Agence spatiale européenne (ESA) se partagent entre les États-Unis (NASA) et la Russie (Roscosmos), dont les programmes nationaux pourvoient leur gouvernement en autonomie de lancement et de transport spatial. Au fil des décennies, alors que les agences spatiales détenant un programme habité (à l’exception de la Chine) se rejoignent dans un projet commun à partir de la fin des années 1990 (l’International Space Station), et alors que la Russie devient détentrice d’un monopole d’accès à l’espace à partir de 2011, les mécanismes symboliques et politiques structurant le programme spatial habité européen évoluent en conséquence. L’entraînement des astronautes en Russie, relatif à ce monopole des lancements habités, entraine la reproduction de traditions et rituels qui, hérités du spatial soviétique, en viennent à constituer l’armature symbolique et axiologique d’un corps d’astronautes en charge de représenter « l’unité dans la diversité » propre à l’Europe. Nourrissant des relations plus ou moins institutionnalisées avec d’anciennes républiques socialistes du fait de son autonomie (de plus en plus relative) vis-à-vis de l’Union Européenne, l’ESA devient progressivement une plateforme via laquelle le procès de restructuration des États d’Europe de l’Est entamé à la fin des années 1980 peut être analysé à l’aune des réseaux industriels, des interdépendances techniques et des échanges scientifiques qui y transitent. Afin de saisir ces relations d’interdépendances, une approche par la théorie des champs semble pertinente à deux points de vue. Tout d’abord, s’intéresser à la genèse et à l’organisation du programme spatial habité européen suppose de considérer ce dernier comme le résultat d’une trajectoire institutionnelle empruntant à différents champs : autorité cognitive de la science moderne, rôle de la production industrielle dans la construction étatique, et rapport à la territorialisation dans l’exercice d’un pouvoir politique national contribuent à la morphologie actuelle des affaires spatiales en Europe. Ensuite, une analyse bourdieusienne permet de circonscrire les vols habités comme un espace social structuré, où se convertissent, se maintiennent et se confrontent des capitaux portés par des acteurs de champs de production autonomes. L’économie des relations entre science, industrie et État, esquissée au gré de ce pari théorique, permet d’envisager certaines des conditions sociales par lesquelles les manières de « faire État » en Europe occidentale et le… Advisors/Committee Members: Ragouet, Pascal (thesis director).

▼ The objective of the present study was to acquire a better understanding of parameters controlling the species generation and transport from compartment fires. The experiments were performed in a half-scale ISO 9705 compartment and a 6.1 m long hallway connected in a head-on configuration. The buoyancy driven propane fire was provided by a burner and a continuous gaseous fuel supply system. All the measurements were obtained during the steady state of the fire. The ventilation conditions were fixed and three different fire source elevations were studied for heat release rates ranging from 20 kW to 150kW. The species yields were obtained from performing detailed mapping measurements at the compartment and hallway exit planes. The measurements included local specie mole fractions of oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons. The local temperature and the local pressure (for local gas velocity calculations) were also measured. In addition, visual observations of the flow dynamic were performed through a window and the vents to give useful insights and lead to a better understanding of the combustion process. The data obtained from the species generation study was analyzed using previously developed methods. The method based on equivalence ratio was presented and determined inappropriate for the present study where the global equivalence ratio was not equal to the plume equivalence ratio due to the complexity of the fire dynamic taking place. The method consisting of correlating the species yields based on the combustion within the compartment as a function of a non dimensional heat release rate allowed qualitative conclusions to be made. The non-dimensional heat release rate was based on the fuel load and the geometric parameters of the compartment. This methodology revealed similarities in the species production between the three fire source elevations investigated. A correlation of the data was obtained based on experimental data. The transport of species to remote locations was studied for the three fire source elevations and fixed ventilation conditions. Species mole fractions and yields were obtained at the compartment exit plane (compartment/hallway interface) and at the hallway exit plane. The results were compared for various heat release rates and showed differences for some scenarios attributed to mixing along the hallway and oxidation reactions outside the compartment.
