SETTINGS+ is a performative building. The construction of the building should reflect the structure of a stage; with its tross system, dedicated to the stage technique. The interior walls and floors of the building creates a scenography; curtains and trousers. The building itself is a scene in the landscape. With its facade, the activity in general is visible even to those who are outside of the house and can be seen from the street, field or chapel as nearest neighbor. In SETTINGS+ film and stage productions are created. The various parts of the production; from receiving materials, storing materials, manufacturing scenographies in the workshop, assembling scenographies and staging stage environments should be made possible by the architecture and offer flexibility. Multiple staging can be run at the same time. The studio/stage can be both closed for a film production but also open with public performances. The different parts of the production is visible to visitors. Many spaces can be used both by staff and visitors. Where the rooms are intended only for those who work in the house, there is an openness that allows visitors to get an insight into the production process. A make-up can be seen from the other side of the building, an entrance into the stage can be passed at close range in the scissor staircase wihtout disturbing. / SETTINGS+ är en performativ byggnad. Byggnadens konstruktion ska spegla strukturen av en scen; med sitt tross-system, dedikerad scentekniken. Byggnadens inre väggar och våningar skapar en scenografi, ridåer och byxor. Byggnaden i sig är en scen i landskapet. Med sin glasfasad är verksamheten i stort är synlig även för dem som befinner sig utanför huset, från gatan, åkern eller kapellet som närmsta granne.  I SETTINGS+ skapas film- och scenproduktioner. Produktionens olika delar; från att ta emot material, förvara material, tillverka scenografier i verkstaden, montera scenografier och iscensätta scenmiljöer ska möjliggöras av arkitekturen och erbjuda flexibilitet. Flera iscensättnigar kan vara igång samtidigt. Studion/Scenen kan vara både sluten för en filmproduktion men också och öppen med publika föreställningar.  Produktionsgången är synlig för besökarna. Många rumsligheter brukas av både personal och besökare. Där rummen är avsedda endast för de som arbetar i huset finns en öppenhet som gör att besökarna får en inblick i produktionsgången. En sminkning går att se från andra sidan byggnaden, en entré in på scen går att passera på nära håll i en saxtrappa utan att störa.

The work was conducted in the spring of 2016 on behalf of the ÅF Industry in Umeå. This project aimed to provide proposals on energy-saving measures for house 2 at Umestans Business Park based on the total specific purchased energy for 2015. Also for the 3rd floor in the same house suggestions on energy-saving measures were given. This was done with regard to the expected electricity use during 2016. Finally, an investigation on the possibility to classify the floors using of business-electricity was done.Initially was a literature study of today's classification system for buildings done. The focus was to see whether there is a possibility or not to classify leased office space. Both Swedish and international classification systems have been evaluated during the project.All the systems in the building were investigated and the total specific energy could be mapped. All the systems in the building were investigated and the total specific energy could be mapped. Based on the results of the operational-electricity that were emerged during the mapping of house 2, and based on the values of the electricity meter 83353 the business-electricity for floor 3 could be determined. Also for this area a mapping was made to see which areas the business-electricity went to.The results of the mapping of the building showed that the average energy consumption for the total specific purchased energy was 141,1 kWh/m2 per year. Of these districts heating stands for 63%. Of the total share of district heating 81% went to the radiators, this suggests that the building has large transmission losses. The inventory shows that the building's has a low use of electricity. This indicates that the technical systems were well installed with well-adapted operating times. The energy-saving measures that were found to reduce the building's losses were in the areas of windows, ventilation and solar shading. Energy-saving measures for the energy supplied were found in pumps, cooling and lighting.The result of floor 3 shows that the average use of business-electricity is at 36,36 kWh / m2 per year. Of these, 50% goes to lighting.From the results floor 3 could be classified to a Class B using the report "Energy performance of buildings - Energy Classification". To achieve a better classification requires change in the lightning on floor 3 as well as an analysis of any thinkable behavior change among the employees. / Examensarbetet utfördes under våren 2016 på uppdrag av ÅF Industry i Umeå. Detta projekt syftade till att ge förslag på energibesparande åtgärder för hus 2 vid Umestans företagspark baserat på den totalt specifikt köpta energin för år 2015. Även för våningsplan 3 i samma hus gavs förslag på energibesparande åtgärder. Detta skedde med avseende på den verksamhetsel som beräknas användas under år 2016. Slutligen utreddes möjligheten till att klassa våningsplanets användning av verksamhetsel.Inledningsvis utfördes en litteraturstudie på dagens klassningssystem för byggnader där fokus låg på att se till huruvida det finns en möjlighet att klassa hyrda kontorslokaler. Både Svenska och internationella klassningssystem har utvärderats under projektet.Sedan inventerades byggnadens samtliga system och den total specifik köpta energin kunde kartläggas. Utifrån de resultat för verksamhetsel som framkom under kartläggningen av hus 2 samt utifrån värden på elmätare 83353 kunde verksamhetselen för våningsplan 3 fastställas. Även för detta område gjordes en kartläggning för att se till vilka områden våningsplanets verksamhetsel gick.Resultatet för kartläggningen av byggnaden visade att den genomsnittliga energianvändningen för den totalt specifikt köpta energin var 141,1 kWh/m2,år. Av dessa utgjordes 63 % fjärrvärme. Av den totala andelen fjärrvärmen gick 81 % till radiatorerna, detta tyder på att byggnaden har stora transmissionsförluster. Den inventerade byggnadens låga användning av el visade på väl installerade tekniska system med väl anpassade drifttider. De energibesparande åtgärder som återfanns för att minska byggnadens förluster låg i områdena fönster, ventilation och solavskärmning. För den tillförda energin var det områdena pumpar, kyla och belysning som energibesparande åtgärder återfanns.Resultatet för våningsplan 3 visar att den genomsnittliga användningen av verksamhetsel ligger på 36,36 kWh/m2, år. Av dessa går 50 % till våningsplanets belysning.Ur resultatet kunde våningsplan 3 klassas till en klass B med hjälp av rapporten ”Byggnaders energiprestanda – Energiklassning”. För att nå en bättre klassning krävs åtgärder för våningsplanets belysning samt en analys av eventuella beteendeförändringar hos de anställda. / <p>roek0001</p>

The construction of wooden multi-storey buildings creates issues with the acoustic environment. To meet Boverkets soundproofing requirements the solutions of today results in thick partition building components taking up potential floor space. Crosslaminatedtimber is a solid timber slab that can be manufactured in varying sizes and thicknesses. These boards can then be used as supporting elements in walls, ceilings and floors. This study investigates whether cross-laminated timber can be used to streamline the construction of multi-storey wooden buildings. In this comparative survey a reference building constructed by A-hus was used and current loads, sound insulation, use of floorspace and economy were analyzed. Four different alternative walls and one floor constructed with cross-laminated timber have been studied according to the above named criteria, and then compared with the reference building. The result indicates that a wall with 80 mm cross-laminated timber board has the load capacity required, improves sound insulation and saving 16 m2 of floorspace in the reference building valued to approximately 695,000 SEK in increased sales revenue. Using cross-laminated timber in the floor does not sufficient improve A-hus current construction system and should therefore not be interesting.

The prevailing housing shortage and the developed considerations of environmental issues are todaytwo current topics. Bollnäs county is an example of a county that works to maintain and actualize itsenvironmental goals, especially in new constructions. Passive houses are a way to buildenvironmental friendly and it is a concept that is becoming more and more common. The concept isabout maximizing heat gains and minimizing heat losses. This is achieved through an air-tightenvelope, certified building components, exhaust and supply air ventilation where heat is regainedfrom the extract air and buildings with low U-values. This project presents a change of an existingdetailed development plan from general purpose to housing. The aim of the project is that thehouse, with a restaurant on the bottom floor, must meet the requirements for passive houses andharmonize with the surrounding environment.The project initiates with a literature study followed by an analytical study with the aim to gatherknowledge about both passive houses as well as the surrounding area of the property. Conformationand calculation are two essential parts of the project. The shape of the house, the design and wherethe house is located in the property are adjusted to both the requirements of passive houses and thecultural history of Bollnäs.The calculations performed in PHPP indicate that the requirements for passive houses are met on thebasis of the conditions in this project. Drawings such as site plan, general plans, facades, sections anddetails are presented together with illustrations of the finished house.The main problem regarding the projection of passive houses lies in the absence of its actualmeaning. The concept is about compensations and that every house, regardless of building systemand conformation, has the possibility to be certified as a passive house.
