Such an approach is ideal to describe the combined effects of high contaminant exposure and food stress for a species like the polar bear (Ursus maritimus) facing reduced food availability and quality due to sea-ice changes in a warming climate. Although DEBkiss has been shown to work well ...
Global Council for Science and the Environment (n.d.) Sustainability in Higher Education: Accreditation. https://www.gcseglobal.org/pathways-to-accreditation. Accessed 5 Sept 2023 Gray S, Sterling EJ, Aminpour P, Goralnik L, Singer A, Wei C, Akabas S, Jordan RC, Giabbanelli PJ, Hodbod...
The Global Council for Science and the Environment’s (GCSE) draft proposal for key competencies in sustainability higher education identifies systems thinking as a core skill and includes increasing complexity across scales in their definition as the foundation for strategic solution development and ...
In addition, it should be noted that the reduction in the thermal loads also implies a reduction in the required solar collector surface in the combined solar thermal–biomass system. This is in order to identify the impact of insulation combined with the energy systems' technologies in terms ...
Therefore, in this study, we develop the Energy and Daylight Performance Index (EDPI) using, to evaluate the combined building energy and daylight performance and deduce the optimal control method for electrochromic glass. In addition, optimal control conditions for the three different climatic ...
Structural changes of global power generation capacity towards sustainability and the risk of stranded investments supported by a sustainability indicator. J. Clean. Prod. 2017, 141, 370–384. [CrossRef] 8. Duguid, B. (Ed.) Ontario's Long-Term Energy Plan; Ontario Ministry of Energy: Toronto...
In fact, due to the changes of the objective environment, the one-step status for the transition probability matrix of an adjacent time is not the same, so there is a certain error between αpt ` 1q and αptq P. Based on the principle of the minimum sum of squared errors, the ...
The travel demands change and the different energy consumption and emissions between public transport and private cars lead to the changes in travel system energy consumption and emissions. The total emissions of public transport and private cars for a transport system in a period of time can be ...
Based on the mentioned-criteria, and as shown in Figure 1, the keyword-based search was performed utilizing Google Scholar, Scopus and ScienceDirect. Keywords, such as multi-objective building design performance optimizations, energy performance optimiza- tion of early stage building designs, energy ...
Prediction is used to investigate how changes in independent variables will result in changing the energy consumption of a district. For example, it may be of interest to quantify the change in energy consumption due to future growth of household or population numbers. Note that, whilst regression...
