Tools for social sustainability in the construction phase

Social sustainability in construction
The image depicts an active construction site - including construction workers, tools, machines, buildings materials and pipes.

In a previous project RISE, Skanska, Veidekke and Wästbygg developed a material to support decision-making for entrepreneurs who work with social sustainability in the construction phase. Now RISE is investigating how this tool is used in practice; in order to test, proof and further develop the material.

Division: Do not use - Division Built Environment

The material A tool for social sustainability in the construction phase was developed during the project The socially sustainable entrepreneur. It consists of a discussion manual, a slide show (which explains how the tool should be utilized and in what ways the construction phase impacts people) and a more theoretical report on the tool's background and design. The manual contains a number of key issues to discuss before, during and after the construction phase. Together with the slide show, this is intended to help entrepreneurs develop their ability to reflect on the impact of construction projects on people in the surrounding area.

To ensure that the tool fulfills its purpose, and contributes to more socially sustainable processes and results, the tool will be tested and developed further. RISE will follow a number of construction projects where the tool is implemented and study how it is being used - and how it is perceived by the users. During this project the researchers will also function as process support for the entrepreneurs, so as to facilitate mutual learning about social sustainability and the practical processes involved in the construction phase.

Calibration of anemometers

Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces): Calibration of anemometers Lead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):

We perform accredited calibration of anemometers in a range from 0.1 m/s to 35 m/s.

 Purpose/Benefit:

There are several reasons to regularly calibrate your measuring instruments, with one being to increase the accuracy of the measurements taken. In addition, some applications require that the measuring instruments used are calibrated in accordance with ISO / IEC 17025.

 

 Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):

Examples of various types of anemometers that we routinely calibrate are hot-wire anemometers, pitot tube static anemometers and rotating vane anemometers. We also calibrate cup anemometers and ultrasonic anemometers but to a lesser extent.

We use two types of equipment when we calibrate anemometers, a wheel for low air velocities (0.1-4 m/s) and a wind tunnel for higher air velocities (0.3 - 35 m/s).

The lower measuring range setup is usually used to calibrate small sensors and hot-wire anemometers which are used to measure small air movements in rooms, draft. The sensor is calibrated upright in a horizontal airflow. We can also offer calibration in a vertical air flow, with horizontal sensor, to see the effect of self-convection from the sensor.

In the setup with the wind tunnel, air velocity sensors used in e.g. air ducts and ventilation systems are common. We can offer accredited calibration up to 35 m/s for most types of sensors, but for larger types of rotating vane anemometers accreditation is limited to a maximum of 10 m/s.

The calibration is performed at several selected measuring points within the sensor's measuring range. The measuring points can be specified by the customer when ordering.

 Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):

The calibration results are delivered in a digital calibration certificate accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025. The certificate can be written in either English or Swedish.

Customer website Calibration (KWP) is our customer website, that gives you full control over your measuring devices. Log in to your own site and see your measurement record, calibration status, calibration history and calibration certificate for each object.

Division: Do not use - Division Built Environment

Renovation projects often go hand-in-hand with technical difficulties, social and environmental goals as well as a willing to make an economic profit. However, it is often hard to know how to balance these goals.This is why Renobuild has been developed – a decision support tool that actors within the construction industry can use to assess the sustainability impacts of renovation projects.

Renobuild gives you an overall picture of how different aspects of sustainability relate to one another. To begin with the tool allows you to analyse a particular buildings' life cycle costs. Furthermore, you can use Renobuild in order to analyse the environmental impacts of the building over its entire life cycle. Last but not least, it gives you an understanding of the social impacts of the building and its close surroundings.

Renobuild lets you compare up to ten different renovation scenarios. It is currently only available in Swedish, but is other than that available for anyone that has MS Excel to use, for free. Renobuild was developed by researchers at RISE in cooperation with actors from the construction industry.

Långtidsmätning av större geoenergisystem

Annex 52

Långtidsmätningar som utförts på flertalet större geoenergisystem i Sverige och utomlands, för att samla data och erfarenhet samt kunna jämföra anläggningars prestanda. Samtidigt utvecklades en genomarbetad mätmetod som kan användas vid mätning och utvärdering i framtiden.

Division: Använd ej - Division Samhällsbyggnad

Mål med Annex 52

Annex 52 syftade till att undersöka och skapa ett bibliotek med prestandamätningar, över längre tid och av hög kvalitet, av geoenergisystem för kommersiella och institutionella byggnader samt flerfamiljshus. Alla typer av värmekällor (berg, jord, grundvatten, ytvatten) ingick i arbetet. Tidigare mätningar undersöktes, men tyngdpunkten i arbetet var nyare och pågående mätningar. Annex 52 syftade också till att förfina och utvidga tidigare framtagen mätmetod för att bättre passa geoenergisystem för kommersiella och institutionella byggnader samt flerfamiljshus med den systemkomplexiteten som det innebär. Syftet var också att tillhandahålla en uppsättning jämförbara geoenergisystem runt i världen.

Analysmetoder som hjälper till att diagnostisera dålig prestanda och möjligheter till förbättringar av systemprestanda undersöktes. Flera fallstudier med prestationsmätningar av geoenergisystemets runt om i världen ingick och dessa fallstudier fungerar som referenser för framtida jämförelser.

Uppgifter/Tasks inom Annex 52

Task 1. Långtidsmätningar - nya och redan utförda

  • En annoterad bibliografi som täcker redan utförda prestandamätningar av geoenergisystem. Som en del av detta arbete gjordes en sammanfattning av jämförbara projekt.
  • En rapport om fallstudier av prestandamätning av geoenergisystem författades. Eftersom de ingående projekten var olika färdiga när annexet startades, förväntades de mer kompletta projekten ge användbara lärdomar och föreslagna förbättringar för de mer nystartade projekten.

Uppgift 2. Guide för instrumentering och mätning av GSHP-system

  • Konsensus om nödvändig instrumentering och övervakning (parametrar, frekvens, instrumentkvalitet etc.).
  • En rapport om instrumentation och mätning av prestanda hos geoenergisystem.

Uppgift 3. Guide för analys och rapportering av prestanda för geoenergisystem.

  • Konsensus om nyckelparametrar och analysmetoder för övervakning av prestanda hos geoenergisystem.
  • En rapport om analys- och utvärderingsrapportering av geoenergisystems prestanda över längre tid.
