Der volle Inhalt der QuelleSweden is one of many countries that has to deal with their dependence on fossil fuels toreach national and global climate goals. One way to decrease usage is through increased electrification and replace fossil fuel with cleaner electrical energy. This is a pilot studyfor The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences’ (IVA) future project "Elens rollför ökad hållbarhet" (Electricity as a pathway towards sustainability) and aims to highlight promising electrification projects and provide a greater understanding for the potential that they can have on different sectors of society. The work is based on two research questions and seeks to answer which type of electrification projects is currently ongoing in Sweden inregards to transport and industry and what consequences and potential reduction in greenhousegas emission these projects could lead to. The study has identified 27 initiatives. Analysis have been made on cars, heavy trucks, light trucks, construction machines, buses,iron and steel industry and other industrial branches. An extensive analysis on the car industry showed that even an ambitious commitment to reach 100% electrical vehicles in carsales by 2025 would not decrease greenhouse gas emissions from cars more than 60% between 2015 and 2030. Compared to current trends which is bound to decrease emissions by 39% during the same period. This is affected by many uncertainties including emission restrictionsfrom car sales, emissions from Nordic electricity mix, automated transport, accessto other methods of transport and the promotion of plug-in hybrid electrical vehicles. An extensive analysis of heavy trucks show that two electric road systems, eHighway and eRoadArlanda, have potential to lower emissions from busy routes. This is only a solutionfor some heavy trucks, other initiatives or lower transportation volumes are also needed.The analysis also show that emissions from light trucks are a growing problem, that construction machines have a global potential to reduce emissions and that buses don’t contributemuch to the national emissions but they could be key to reducing emissions fromcars. There are extensive projects in the iron and steel industry that could almost eliminateemissions, but these are still in early stages and no big changes are happening before 2030. There is much to gain by being ahead in sustainable development since the export market for green technology is expected to grow. That means that Swedish industry and competitiveness could benefit from developing prototypes in Sweden which can then be exported. The study therefor concludes with a number of suggestions for decision makers on how toproceed. The most important suggestion is that though technological development is a part of the solution a broad perspective is needed to cost-effectively reduce emissions. Overall results show that targets regarding zero fossil fuel emissions from transport by 2030is unachievable, but that other gains can be made. A more clear road map is necessary toachieve desired goals which is why the government should evaluate strategies and subgoalsso that the next climate target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 is achieved.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe interest of moving towards a more circular economy has increased in many industries and businesses. Several studies have investigated the impact of different products and which processes during their life cycle have an environmental impact. But limited studies of how universities and government authorities can impact their carbon footprint have been done. The goal of this study is to map how KTH Royal Institute of Technology handles procurement, usage and disposal of personal computers and office furniture, in order to identify areas of improvement from an environmental standpoint. Since the study is focused on looking at how KTH works centrally and at one or two schools in various areas, a complete survey of KTH:s organization and management has not been made, but conclusions could still been drawn. By examining previous research, conducting interviews with employees at KTH and studying KTH:s website, we have been able to note that: increased communication, increased formalization of recurring processes and a central warehouse with an associated computer systems could increase KTH:s ability to handle personal computers and office furniture in an environmentally friendly way.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIntresset för att gå mot en mer cirkulär ekonomi har ökat i många industrier och företag. Ett flertal studier har med hjälp av livscykelanalyser undersökt olika produkters påverkan och vilka processer under dess livscykel som har en miljöpåverkan. Men begränsad forskning har gjorts på hur universitet och statliga myndigheter kan påverka dess klimatavtryck. Målet med denna studien är att kartlägga hur Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) hanterar inköp, användning och avveckling av persondatorer och kontorsmöbler, för att försöka identifiera områden som kan förbättras ur miljösynpunkt. Då studien fokuserats på att titta på hur KTH arbetar centralt och på en eller två skolor inom diverse område har inte en fullständig kartläggning av KTH:s organisation och hantering gjorts, men slutsatser har fortfarande kunnat dras. Genom att undersöka tidigare forskning, utföra intervjuer med anställda på KTH och studera KTH:s hemsida har vi kunnat notera att: en ökad kommunikation, en ökad formalisering av återkommande processer och ett centrallager med tillhörande datorsystem skulle kunna öka KTH:s förmåga att hantera persondatorer och kontorsmöbler på ett miljövänligt sätt.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleI allt större utsträckning blir det vanligare för företag att redovisa sina utsläpp av växthusgaser, främst koldioxid. Linköpings Universitet (LiU) fastställde genom sina miljömål att en klimatstrategi skulle upprättas för att få kännedom om hur verksamheten påverkar klimatet via utsläpp av koldioxid samt tänkbara åtgärder för förbättring. Genom identifiering och kvantifiering av problem kan förutsättningar skapas för att möjliga lösningar initieras som i sin tur kan ge såväl ekonomiska som miljömässiga vinster.
Studien syftar till att med hjälp av backcastingmetoden upprätta en klimatstrategi, samt ge förslag till konkreta åtgärder för LiU. Det empiriska materialet består utav statistik inhämtad från 2006: års data från: energianvändning, tjänsteresor samt hyrbilsverksamhet. Empiri har även inhämtats via en workshop med Universitetsledning och forskare inom LiU.
De slutsatser som dragits genom denna studie är att det med hjälp av backcasting är möjligt att skapa en klimatstrategi. Mer specifika slutsatser dragna för LiU´s kommande strategiarbete är energieffektivisering, alternativa transportsätt avseende tjänsteresor samt alternativa mötesformer.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe construction sector releases high amounts of greenhouse gases, through the large use of resources. The majority of the emissions comes fromthe use of materials within the production of buildings. This essay has studied three projects that focus on reducing its climate impact in Sweden. Interviews with people who have worked on these projects will give the essay different influencing factors that they experienced within the workwith reducing climate impact. The three projects are project Högasten in Helsingborg, project Daggkåpan in Malmö and projekt Brf Viva in Göteborg. The factors affecting the projects´ work with the climate impact are the projects´ ambition, knowledge about building materials, normsof certain material use within the industry, Swedish regulations, municipalities and agencies. The newfound knowledge about the buildingmaterials and the development of Swedish regulations could lead to further possibilities for the construction industry to reduce the climate impactin future production of buildings in Sweden

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleSustainability is something that affect us all. It´s challenging to reduce the over-utilization of the earth’s resources at the same time as the population is increasing. The building sector has a big impact on the society and faces several challenges in the work to reduce climate and environmental impacts. Material choice is an important part because the largest emissions comes from the manufacturing phase.This study was made to highlight the importance of structural engineer’s part in the sustainability work and the impact on the purchaser’s decision. The purpose of this degree project was to support the sustainability work in the design stage when choosing a load bearing structure. The structural engineer could show that basic consideration was taken to reduce the environmental and climate impacts. The purpose was also to investigate how to facilitate sustainability consultants’ assessments of the work delivered by structural engineers.Semi-structured interviews were conducted together with a survey to investigate the parts in need of further development between design programs and LCA-applications in the process to execute and simplify sustainability analysis. Besides the investigation, a case study was made on a reference object. The object had three alternatives of load bearing structures. The case study was performed through a simplified LCA in Revit. The data that was used for the included materials was compiled to a schedule with emission values of climate influences, ozone decomposition, acidification and overfertilization. These emission values were retrieved from different EPD:s hat was published in open access databases. After the emissions were retrieved a schedule was made in Revit that showed the environmental impact for the different structural alternatives.The schedule was designed as a guide and the development of a schedule in Revit is explained thoroughly as guidance for structural engineers in future projects to reduce the environmental impact.The results of the investigation show that a lot of challenges that former studies have shown are still valid. Among these challenges, most of the respondents mentioned the prerequisites for projects to be one of the main points. One of the many proposals on how the setting requirements would take place was through a matrix that often is used in projects with BIM-coordination. Furthermore, the interviewers felt that the requirements for data should be developed for all projects, even though an LCA-analyze is not required.The results from the case study show that structures in steel affected the environment most in all the categories that was compared. The wood option showed that it was not that much lower from a climate impact perspective compared to the concrete option. This was because of the members in steel that was used to unload the existing floor which the structure would build on. This is shown with a pie chart and is further analyzed in the chapter of discussion.

Der volle Inhalt der QuellePurpose: The construction industry will be fundamentally impacted by sustainable development progression. The United Nations have set goals outlined in the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. To meet this desired progression, these goals must stand in focus for construction professionals and industry stakeholders. Concrete is a composite material made from aggregates, fluids and cement which hardens over time and is widely used in the construction industry. In 2014 it was estimated to account for more than five percent of all anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the climate impact of various concrete mixtures measured as carbon dioxide equivalents and use this to inform whether construction designers can make a difference through the specifications of concrete mixtures. Method: A literature review was conducted to ensure relevance of the study and establish a knowledge base regarding the subject. LCA and a document analysis of EPDs made it possible to compare climate impacts and data could be compiled. Findings: Data from LCA and document analysis indicates that construction designers can reduce the climate impact through their specifications by subscribing higher w/c ratios and lower exposure classes. This enable a bigger amount of the cement to be traded by additives. A literature study indicates that reducing the climate impact of concrete can directly be related to goal 13 in Agenda 2030. In Sweden, goal 13 is to reach no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045. Implications: If construction designers specify higher w/c ratio and lower exposure classes, they can reduce the climate impact from concrete. To specify higher w/c ratio and lower exposure class is not always possible depending on the structural requirements. The study adds to an understanding of the climate impact depending on concrete mixtures. Limitations: Concrete obtains many characteristics which is affected by multiple parameters. Limiting the study data and ignoring some parameters increases the risk of deceptive results. Publicly available concrete certifications and data from concrete professionals is combined in this study. Most of the concrete mixtures selected for analysis are climate friendly types and therefore the results would differ if regular concrete was used. Because of structural requirements and other conditions, it is not always possible for the construction designer to specify higher w/c ratio and lower exposure class. This study focuses on climate impacts which limits the possibility to make connections to multiple sustainable development goals.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleSweden's long-term climate target is that the net greenhouse gas emissions should be zero by 2045. The construction- and real estate sector currently accounts for a large percentage of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions and achieving the climate target requires increased knowledge, awareness and that all actors in the construction industry are involved in the work to reduce the climate impact from the construction process. In the early stage of the project planning, the possibilities are greater to make changes regarding design and material selections where the structural engineer can weigh the function of the buildings frame against its climate impact and thus reduce the carbon footprint early in the process. As a result, the purpose of this study is to enlighten how a structural engineer can contribute to more sustainable constructions, especially in the form of reduced greenhouse gas emissions, in the construction process. To get an idea of how structural engineers see their daily work for more sustainable solutions, a survey is conducted at WSP Sweden AB. In addition to this, two climate calculation tools, Klimatdata light and One Click LCA, are used to evaluate material selection in a building's climate shell, regarding climate impact. The study shows that the main challenge for structural engineers to promote more sustainable construction, with focus on reduced climate impact, is that they are included too late in projects when many important material choices have already been established. A great focus is also considered to be on the client and his level of ambition for environmental aspects of the projects. The structural engineer’s main ability to influence a building's carbon footprint is primarily considered to be in the work of optimizing construction in terms of dimensions and choice of material quality. The application of the climate calculation tools generates an estimated value for greenhouse gas emissions for the analyzed building based on three different models with varying material choices. The calculations show that the choice of material quality, climate data and the use of climate-enhanced products affect the building's carbon footprint. Furthermore, wood is considered to be a better choice of material in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, in relation to concrete, but current calculations should only be seen as an estimate and a basis for further design since the calculations are carried out at an early stage in the project planning. The study shows that there are many aspects to consider when it comes to sustainable construction and that a reduced climate impact is only a small part of the definition. A combined knowledge throughout the building process is required for successful sustainability work where the focus should be on long-term thinking and looking at the building’s entire lifecycle. Conscious and well-thought-out material choices provide the conditions for a reduced climate impact, but structural engineers are often limited by the client's ambitions and requirements. Reducing emissions requires actions together with increased requirements, where future legislation on climate declarations and current environmental certifications is seen as a driving force in the progress for more sustainable constructions.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe human emission of greenhouse gases, which affect climate change, has increased rapidly over the past hundred years. More goods are produced, consumed and transported all over the world to meet the demands of people connected to their living standards. The food industry's role in emissions is significant, meat production accounts for about eighteen percent of the total global greenhouse gas emission. By reducing the amount of meat included in people's diet and meals and go toward eating more plant-based, its environmental impact reduces. An important area is public restaurants food servings, the food that are served there have an impact on people's eating habits and their attitudes toward food. The meat heavy eating habits of food consumers and the limiting access to plant-based meals are some of the main obstacles to the increase of plant-based foods and reducing consumption of animal products. If food services are working to make plant-based food attractive and accessible to consumers, their influence on the earth's climate reduces.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe infrastructure accounts for a significant part of climate-affecting emissions. Emissions from road and railway construction come mostly from the production of concrete and steel used for the construction of bridges and other construction works. The purpose of the study is to investigate the climate impact from concrete bridges and identify the resources that contribute to the largest climate footprint during the material production and construction phase. Alternative optimized solutions are being investigated, whose emphasis is on promoting sustainable construction of concrete bridges. To achieve the goal of the study, a case study was conducted on an integral bridge of concrete. The case study mostly included a life cycle assessment, based on document analysis, in order to be able to identify where in the material production and construction phase the largest climate footprints occur. In addition to life cycle assessment, interviews were conducted to suggest more sustainable alternatives for a reduced climate impact. The results from the study showed a total climate impact of 82,711 kg CO2e from the product and production phase, of which the largest contributing factors were the concrete and the reinforcement. Improved solutions have been proposed in order to reduce the climate impact. The concrete that is used for the bridge was considered suitable from a sustainability perspective because its contribution to carbon dioxide emissions was lower compared to other types of concrete on the market. The reinforcement will be replaced with a greener and locally produced type of reinforcement to promote more environmentally friendly material choices and to reduce the climate footprint from transport. Furthermore, it has been established that renewable fuels are significant in reducing climate impact. To further reduce the climate footprint, high-strength steel in bridge railings can be used instead of galvanized steel. In order to promote sustainable construction, the use of resources should be taken into account.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIt is now established that climate change will change the conditions for people on Earth. The purpose of the thesis is thus to investigate what factors motivate people to reduce their climate emissions and what obstacles they may encounter. With the help of four interviews and nine questionnaires, the essay's two research questions have been answered by asking questions to people who have chosen to reduce their emissions by changing their habits regarding flying, car ownership and consumption. The study showed that environmental commitment is linked to environmental knowledge and that it can develop an understanding of the negativec onsequences a high-consumption lifestyle can lead to. For the respondents in the study, it has led to a sense of responsibility and direct or indirect moral duty to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as it has developed a high environmental consideration. This together with positive role models and a positive self-image has served as motivation for a changed lifestyle. Lack of knowledge, control perception, identity, habits, marital status and social and subjective norms have acted as obstacles and led to the respondents' adjustments taking time. The respondents in the study have made different achievements due to the various obstacles they encountered. The results show that they have a strong internal attitude structure as despite obstacles they have not stopped trying to change and instead started to re-evaluate their view of quality of life by changing attitudes toward what is happiness and luxury. It is possible to link the theories VBN and TPB to each other as values, perceptions and personal norms shape the environmental considerations that affect attitude, subjective norms and perceived control.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleIntroduction: food waste contributes to a negative climate impact and the meat wastage, especially beef, generates large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram beef. Reducing animal wastage should be a priority in order to quickly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Aim: The aim is to investigate consumers' attitude to buying beef that has been frozen the day before the best before date has passed in an attempt to reduce the meat wastage. The study also investigates whether food-related knowledge, skills and behaviors, summarized in the concept food literacy, affect the attitude of buying beef that has been frozen the day before the best before date has passed. Method: Data was collected using a web-questionnaire and a focus group. The processing and the analysis of the data was performed in Excel using Chi-Square tests. The qualitative data was transcribed and analyzed using coding and thematization. Results: The quantitative data shows a positive trend where the majority of consumers can see themselves buying beef that has been frozen the day before the best before date has passed. The results show that the level of food literacy increases with age. Factors that prove to be important for consumers are price, quality, packaging and origin. Conclusion: The majority of respondents regardless of age are positive about buying beef. The result indicates that the proportion of respondents with a high degree of food literacy increases with age and factors that prove to be important for consumers when buying beef are price, quality, packaging and origin.
