Abstract
Warm, warmer, warmest average temperatures on record. The year of 2023 was the hottest ever recorded on Earth. This heat record breaking development is described as “the new normal”, which means that future buildings must be designed with this new extreme weather normality in mind. The rising heat brings increased demands for space cooling, which must be at least partially met in other ways than through energy- demanding cooling solutions, as these are inclined to exacerbate global warming. While looking for cost effective ways for new buildings to better keep their occupants cool as heat waves will become both more common and more intense ahead, solutions for the Swedish climate context requires consideration also of the fact that...

Warm, warmer, warmest average temperatures on record. The year of 2023 was the hottest ever recorded on Earth. This heat record breaking development is described as “the new normal”, which means that future buildings must be designed with this new extreme weather normality in mind. The rising heat brings increased demands for space cooling, which must be at least partially met in other ways than through energy- demanding cooling solutions, as these are inclined to exacerbate global warming. While looking for cost effective ways for new buildings to better keep their occupants cool as heat waves will become both more common and more intense ahead, solutions for the Swedish climate context requires consideration also of the fact that temperatures can range from levels far below freezing to figures dangerously high at times. Finding solutions for a Swedish context therefore necessitates a comprehensive approach to non-energy-demanding ways to regulate building temperatures.

This thesis is aimed at proposing architectural responses to heat and the need for cooling in the urban dwelling environment. By looking into current and historical architectural solutions for regulating the internal building climate by passive measures, featured dwelling design proposals are informed both by technical and residential qualitative aspects of passive design. Based on research on human heat capacity as well as climatological studies, the architectural proposals are intended to increase resilience in relation to a changing climate by suggesting flexible and robust solutions that are operable by residents and not solely depending on external energy sources.

Varmt, varmare, varmast i mätningshistorien. Året 2023 blev det varmaste som någonsin har uppmätts på jorden. Denna värmerekordsättande utveckling beskrivs samtidigt som det nya vanliga, vilket innebär att kommande byggnader måste utformas med hänsyn till denna nya extremvädernormalitet. Utvecklingen medför vidare ökande behov av svalka, vilka behöver tillgodoses åtminstone delvis på andra sätt än genom energikrävande kyllösningar eftersom de riskerar att allvarligt förvärra situationen. Detta examensarbete belyser därför risker som följer med ökande värme samt hur de drabbar olika delar av befolkningen för att sedan djupdyka i hur passiva energilösningar kan bidra till en mer hållbar urban bostadsmiljö mot bakgrund av historiska...

Varmt, varmare, varmast i mätningshistorien. Året 2023 blev det varmaste som någonsin har uppmätts på jorden. Denna värmerekordsättande utveckling beskrivs samtidigt som det nya vanliga, vilket innebär att kommande byggnader måste utformas med hänsyn till denna nya extremvädernormalitet. Utvecklingen medför vidare ökande behov av svalka, vilka behöver tillgodoses åtminstone delvis på andra sätt än genom energikrävande kyllösningar eftersom de riskerar att allvarligt förvärra situationen. Detta examensarbete belyser därför risker som följer med ökande värme samt hur de drabbar olika delar av befolkningen för att sedan djupdyka i hur passiva energilösningar kan bidra till en mer hållbar urban bostadsmiljö mot bakgrund av historiska byggnadslösningar för svalka. Arbetet redovisar även samtida bostadsutformningar där integrerade passivlösningar bidrar både till energihushållning och bostadskvalitet samt till byggnadernas form och uttryck. Med detta som utgångspunkt presenteras därefter ett gestaltningsförslag för ett nytt bostadsområde som utnyttjar värmeproblematiska parkeringsytor och tillvaratar kyleffekterna av omgivande grönska samtidigt som det bereder ytor för odling.
