Since IPCC AR4 in 2007, climate science has made continual progress for more than three years. This is reflected both in the number of new scientific papers, but also in the development of the research agenda. By and large, the physical climate science as assessed by IPCC Working Group I in AR4 appears robust in the light of more recent research. The knowledge base is of course continuously develo
Behovet av klimatreglering har ökat kraftigt sedan 1960-talet. Ett av skälen till detta är den ändrade byggtekníken, som innebär lättare konstruktioner med större inre värmebelastning från belysning, maskiner, personer och solinstrålning genom stora fönsterytor. De ökade värmebelastningarna kan klaras av med ett flertal olika klimatsystem. Dessa system kräver någon form av reglering. Under 1970-ta
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förebyggande miljöskyddslösningar har under flera år tillämpats med stor framgång i den tillverkande industrin.
