Tidigare studier visar att dessa händelser och perioder har ökat i antal och i intensitet och en fortsatt intensifiering är förväntad i framtiden. Extremväder såsom värmeböljor, torka och floder kan påverka vattenkvalitén i våra floder på olika sätt. Det är viktigt då flodernas ekologi är grundläggandeEurope has experienced several climate extremes during the past decades. These extreme events have increased in number and intensity and are projected to further intensify. Previous studies show that heatwaves, drought, and flood can have an impact on water quality in several ways.

Detta examensarbete fokuserar på hur uppvärmningsprocessegenskaper kan användas för att bestämma en styrlag till en regulator inom fastighetsautomation. En testmiljö har satts upp med ventilationssystem och värmekälla. Testmiljön styrs av en PLC. Systemets överföringsfunktion har beräknats ifrån Newtons avsvalningslag. Tidskonstanten för det öppna systemet har beräknats utgående utifrån temperaturThis thesis focuses on how properties of a heating process can be used to determine a control law for a controller in a HVAC system. A test environment has been set up with a ventilation system and a heat source. The test environment is controlled by a PLC.
