An evaluation of the effectiveness of investments in energy savings
Ondráček, Jan ; Klímová, Lenka (referee) ; Vaňková, Lucie (advisor)
Investments in energy saving of buildings is associated with a reduction in the operating costs, but it is also an effort to improve the quality of the environment. The main impulse are constantly rising energy prices and deteriorating air quality. The diploma thesis deals with the return on investment in thermal insulation of residential houses. The theoretical part describes the different definitions from the field of investments, pricing and energy modifications. In the practical part are considered two apartment buildings, the first insulated, non-insulated second. The next step is quantifying of the investment cost of such insulation designed with the calculation of payback period, net present value and internal rate of return. At the end of the work is the evaluation of the effectiveness of investments.

Retirement house, Šumperk
Ondráček, Jan ; Peterka, Tomáš (referee) ; Müller, Jan (advisor)
The Master thesis resolves design of a retirement house in Šumperk. This is a three-storey house on plot No. 142/2 registered in the cadastral area Horní Temenice. The house is set to a slightly sloping terrain. Terrain features were taken into account when the architectural design was made. The building has a longitudinal shape with dimensions of 27 x 11.3 m. The building is built by using the Porotherm system. Retirement house has 15 apartments. Four double-bedded apartments and eleven single-bedded apartments. The purpose of the building is to extend capacity of a nursing home.

Detached house, Šumperk
Ondráček, Jan ; Špás, Luděk (referee) ; Müller, Jan (advisor)
The Bachelor thesis resolves design of a family house in Šumperk. This is a one-storey house on plot No. 907 registered in the cadastral area Horní Temenice. The house is set to a sloping terrain. Terrain features were taken into account when the architectural design was made. The building has a longitudinal shape with dimensions of 21.8 x 9.3 m. The building is built using the Velox system. The unusual features of the building are three different types of roofs. That is a shed roof with longitudinal girders glued, Single-Shell roof and vegetation roof, which is directly linked to the adjacent terrain.

Vaulation of Financing Situation of the Building Company
Ondráček, Jan ; Rampa, Jan (referee) ; Hroníková, Marta (advisor)
This baccalaureate thesis focuses on the financial management of construction enterprise. The first part deals with the theoretical lighting techniques and methods, which are then practically applied in the other. For each company is essential to reporting a profit. Financial health is an important component of a prosperous business perspective. This bachelor deals with the evaluation of the financial situation of the methods of financial analysis. These methods will evaluate the financial health of a particular construction company.

PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND EVOLUTION OF AEROSOL FROM OPEN COMBUSTION OF BIOMASS DURING THE TRADITIONAL “BURNING OF THE WITCHES”
Mbengue, Saliou ; Vodička, Petr ; Komínková, Kateřina ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Vítková, Gabriela ; Windell, Laurence Christian ; Suchánková, Lenka ; Lhotka, Radek ; Julaha, Kajal ; Prokeš, Roman ; Šmejkalová Holubová, A. ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Holoubek, Ivan
Open biomass burning (OBB) is a major source releasing large quantities of gaseous and particulate pollutants into the atmosphere, with global, regional and local impacts on air quality, public health and climate (Andreae, 2019, Chen et al., 2017). OBB aerosols mainly consist of carbonaceous matter, and a considerable amount of inorganic salts, which present distinctly different optical properties (Chen et al., 2017, Reid et al., 2005). In this study, we investigate the influence of OBB during the traditional Burning of the Witches (BoW), referred to in Czech as “Pálení čarodějnic”, on the physico-chemical properties of atmospheric aerosols collected at the National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice (NAOK). The BoW is a centuries-old pagan tradition very popular in the Czech Republic. Today, it is celebrated during the night from April 30 to May 1 by lighting bonfires made of woodpiles with fake witches.

WATER-SOLUBLE COMPOUNDS PM2.5 AT THREE RURAL BACKGROUND SITES IN CENTRAL EUROPE DURING COLD AND WARM PERIODS
Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Vodička, Petr ; Lhotka, Radek ; Pokorná, Petra ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Aurora, S. ; Poulain, L. ; Herrmann, H. ; Ždímal, Vladimír
Ion chromatography (IC) was used to characterize water soluble compounds in PM2.5 during winter and summer campaigns at three rural sites in Central Europe in 12-hour (day/night) time resolution. Concentrations of biomass combustion aerosolsdoubled from Melpitz to Košetice in winter, sea salt exhibited opposite behaviour. Summer exhibited higher sulphates and methane sulphonic acid in Melpitz. Day to night ratios showed higher day concentrations for phosphates and compounds connected to fungal spores and bacteria, while higher night concentrations were connected to wood combustion. Ventilation index was used as an approximate measure to distinguish local and long range transported aerosols. Biomass combustion products were identified as the \nmajority of local aerosols, while sea salt as long range transported one.

SUBMICRON AEROSOL AT TWO URBAN STATIONS IN PRAGUE
Pokorná, Petra ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Vodička, Petr ; Lhotka, Radek ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Hopke, P.
The aim of this work was to determine the submicron aerosol dynamics, chemical compositions, and origins at two sites in Prague based on the particle number size distribution (PNSD) and chemical composition of 2/12/24h atmospheric aerosol samples (PM1) collected in parallel for half-year/within two seasons at two urban sites (suburban – Suchdol and traffic – Vršovice). Chemical analysis of PM1 for carbon (elemental, equivalent black – eBC and organic) by thermo-optical method and for water-soluble inorganic ions by IC was performed. For most months, both number and mass median \nconcentrations based on the SMPS data differed. Higher eBC concentrations were measured in Vršovice however eBC concentrations showed good correlation (r=0.80, yintercept=0) at the two stations. Higher average PM1 at the traffic site in summer and at the suburban site in winter, and seasonal differences in ionic PM1 composition reflected the seasonality of the local sources. Nevertheless, there were no statistically significant differences in PM1 concentration and ionic composition between the sites.

INFLUENCE OF RESPIRATORY TRACT CONDITIONS ON PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS GENERATED BY COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE INHALERS
Mašková, Ludmila ; Ždímal, Vladimír ; Ondráček, Jakub
Pressurized metered dose inhalers (MDI) and dry powder inhalers (DPI) are an integral part of the treatment of lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (Vichrow et al., 2008). An important characteristic of particles dosed by MDI and DPI is particle size distribution (PSD) (Byron, 1990). This may vary depending on the formulation, but also on the temperature and relative humidity (RH) changes during the transport from the inhaler to the human respiratory tract. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of RH and inspiratory flow rates on the PSD\ncharacteristics and predict deposition efficiency of inhalable particles in the lungs.

Windell, Laurence Christian ; Pokorná, Petra ; Ondráček, Jakub ; Schwarz, Jaroslav ; Lhotka, Radek ; Vodička, Petr ; Zíková, Naděžda ; Hopke, P.K. ; Ždímal, Vladimír
This work aims to quantify metal emissions from traffic at an urban traffic site in Prague, Czech Republic, identify key tracers of emissions, and investigate exhaust and non-exhaust emissions observable in fine particulate matter (PM2.5). This project signifies the first high-time resolution elemental analysis of Prague aerosols.
