Development and Analysis of Pathways for a Sustainable Housing Cooling Sector in Ljungby, Sweden, using Modular Participatory Backcasting

This master thesis aims to design a pathway for the cooling sector in Ljungby, a town in south of Sweden, which would meet local stakeholders’ needs and fulfil sustainability criteria. At the same time, the thesis makes an attempt to quantify future need for household cooling in Sweden, and test ada...
