I rådande klimat och omvärldsläge har energianvändning fått ett allt större fokus än vad det hade för en 5 – 10 år sedan. Företag och regioner har blivit alltmer medvetna om energikostnaderna där en av de största punkterna är uppvärmning och nedkylning av lokaler. Ett sätt att minska energianvändningen är att kyla ner visa zoner i stället för hela lokalen. Detta lämpar sig i lokaler med höga krav In current times due to climate change and the geopolitical environment, more emphasis has been placed on energy usage compared to 5 – 10 years ago. Companies and Counties have become more aware of the energy costs, where one of the biggest posts are heating and cooling indoor spaces. One way of lowering the energy usage of buildings is that instead of cooling the whole indoor space only certain z

När det pratas om övergödning är det ofta våra kuster och Östersjön som kommer på tal och när det pratas om växthusgasutsläpp är det vanligt att trafik och industri diskuteras. I denna studie undersöks dessa två miljöproblem i stället ur ett sjöperspektiv för att belysa ett av de hot dessa sötvattensekosystem står inför nu och i framtiden. Övergödning, som inom akvatisk ekologi ofta kallas eutrofThe aim of this literature study was to review the effects that climate change has on the intensification of eutrophication in lakes, specifically in a temperate climate. Furthermore, the latest research on the connection between greenhouse gas emissions and eutrophication in lakes was reviewed to explore the synergistic relationship between the two processes. In summary, the results were that the
