Η εξοικονόμηση ενέργειας αποτελεί τον βασικότερο πυλώνα της ενεργειακής πολιτικής κάθε χώρας. Ο κτιριακός τόμέας καταναλώνει ένα αρκετα μεγάλο ποσοστό της συνολικής απιτούμενης ενέργειας σύμφωνα με την Ευρωπαική Ένωση γι'αυτό μελετάμε σε πρώτο στάδιο την ενεργειακή κατανάλωση ενός κτιρίου σύμφωνα με μια κοινά αποδεκτή μεθοδολογία προερχόμενη από την Ευρωπαική Επιτροπή (CEN), η οποία στηρίζεται σε επιστημονικά δεδομένα και στατιστικές μελέτες για να προσεγγίζει ένα βέλτιστο αποτέλεσμα. Επιπλέον, μελετάμε πως συμβάλλει ο τύπος κτιρίου, οι κλιματολικές συνθήκες της περιοχής όπως και τα συστήματα θέρμανσης-ψύξης, φωτισμού και ζεστού νερού χρήσης στην κατανάλωση ενέργειας του κτιρίου. Τέλος δημιουργήσαμε ένα πρόγραμμα όπου με αντικατάσταση των συστημάτων που αναφέραμε παρουσιάζεται (και σε γραφικό περιβάλλον) τόσο η ενεργειακή εξοικονόμηση όσο και η εξοικονόμηση χρημάτων. / This diploma thesis focuses on the consumption of buildings, becayse an ever icreasing persentage of total energy is required to cover domestic needs. Firstly,we calculate the energy requirements of a building according to a common methodology derived from the European Commission (CEN),with which we have an otimal result becase it is based on scientific thought and statistics.Moreover, the energy that is finally consumed depends on the type of building, the climatic conditions of the area and the heating, cooling, lighting and water-heating systems that are used.The research, on how all the above, contribute to the energy consumption, as well as the possibility of the comparison if the above systems are replaced with more economical ones, were the reasons to create a program(including grafic interface).

Vad är det i gamla industrimiljöer som fascinerar oss? Finns det ett värde i att bevararostiga portar, slitna fasader och sprucken asfalt där gräset tränger igenom? Viundersöker fenomenet bevarande av gamla industrimiljöer i stadsnära hamnområden,och hur dessa miljöer tas till vara i en urban omgestaltningsprocess. Med stöd av befintligforskning och intervjuer undersöker vi bevarande utifrån antikvariska- och estetiskautgångspunkter. Platsen vi valt som studieobjekt är Varvsstaden i Malmö, som förnärvarande genomgår en större omvandling, där den gamla industrimiljön anpassas tillnya urbana användningsområden.Vår analys visar att begreppet bevarande bär med sig olika förväntningar hos olika aktöreri stadsbyggnadsprocessen, och att det därför är meningsfullt att utvidga diskussionen kring begreppet. / What is it in old industrial environments that fascinates us? Is there a value in preservingrusty doors, worn facades and cracked asphalt where the grass penetrates? We want toinvestigate how different preservation strategies affect design transformations in urbanharbour areas. With the help of literature and interviews, we examine conservation basedon antiquarian- and aesthetic points of departure. The place we chose as a study object isthe Varvsstaden area in Malmö, which is currently undergoing a major transformation,where the old industrial environment is adapted to new urban uses.Our analysis show that the term conservation entails different expectations among variousstakeholders in the urban development process, and that it is therefore meaningful toextend the discussion about the concept.

Historic commercial centres are subject to continuous change and transformation due to the changing socio-economic and cultural structure and relations of production and consumption. Organized within a traditional structure, these spaces have survived until today with their altering meanings and different identities as well as the restructuration they went through because of the socio-economic transformation processes. Besides, they are not only shopping areas or consumption spaces but also urban areas with a traditional style of manufacture and crafts. Theoretical discussions on the conservation of historic city centres focus on issues such as integration of city centres into contemporary life with functions that do not have adverse effects on the authentic characteristics of historic streets and urban fabrics, the role of new functions, activities and structures in the historic fabric, and participation in the conservation process. Historic buildings adopt functions that are different from their original functions due to changing life styles. Having functioned in a well-organized order and shaped by the socio-cultural and economic structure of their eras, they are subject to interventions due to the functions required by the present conditions, such as the addition of a mezzanine or the establishment of a connection between spaces. As a result of these interventions, the original plan schemes and authentic characteristics of historic buildings have changed. This thesis aims at identifying the types of commercial functions that intervene into the authentic design characteristics of commercial buildings located in the historic commercial centre. To this end, the Commercial Centre of Bursa was chosen as the case and the change in the functions of the hans located in this area was examined in detail.
