One interpretation might be that Advanced Economies are using energy products in a wasteful way, compared to Other than Advanced Economies. The self-organizing world economy in some sense tries to maintain itself, even if some less efficient parts need to be squeezed down or out. The na...
The development of clean, economical and efficient energy supply methods is the focus of the energy sector1,2,3. IES is an integrated energy system that realizes the production, supply and distribution of energy by giving full play to the complementary characteristics of different energy sources an...
For example, if a homeowner upgrades to a more efficient air-conditioning unit, they might end up using the air conditioning in the home more frequently, as it is less expensive to operate. To capture some of these potential behavioural changes in our model, we include a 10% elasticity ...
Prediction analysis is an essential component of home energy management systems due to its ability to forecast and anticipate energy usage patterns, allowing for more efficient resource allocation and consumption management. By analyzing historical energy usage data, weather patterns, and household occupancy...
(2014) find that several energy efficiency programs—implemented by the Mexican government—have been effective in reducing electricity consumption, but that the rebound effect (according to which consumers tend to use energy-efficient appliances more intensively to increase comfort levels) can cause ...
passenger mobility more energy efficient, we could save even more energy if we simultaneously addressed the new buildings' environmental performance. By 2020, the construction industry is expected to use 26 % of China's total energy, and there's a lot of room for improvement in this area [21...
Efficient hydrogen production from solar energy and fossil fuel via water-electrolysis and methane-steam-reforming hybridization Jiyuan Sui, Zhennan Chen, Chen Wang, Yueyang Wang, ... Wenjia Li Article 115409 select article Impact of climate change on water availability and its propagation through the...
times more energy (250 watts) than a standard 27-inch TV (100 watts). And while many large household appliances have become more efficient over the years, many smaller devices have not. Two 30-watt set-top television boxes, for example, may consume as much electricity as a large ...
our nanofluidic system demonstrates efficient osmotic energy harvesting performance, especially in hypersaline environment. Notably, we achieve a maximum power density of 33.76 W m−2, a 6.2-fold improvement with a ten-fold increase in salinity gradient, surpassing state-of-the-art nanochannel...
Based on a dataset of US home-energy certifications (Kaza et al., 2014), found that mortgage loans secured with more energy-efficient homes are associated with even lower credit risks (PD). In Europe, EeMAP Initiative aims to create a European energy-efficiency mortgage. EeMAP recent report ...
