energy-efficient appliances to use. Appliances that meet the standard for energy savings are part of theEnergy Star government initiativeto save money, as well as environmental impact. Popular appliances that are part of this program include: ...
We did not model building shell upgrades individually (for example, improved windows, insulation and so on), but instead we use augmented turnover as a proxy for shell upgrades since newer archetypes have more efficient thermal shells. In applying the population growth and building turnover, we ...
communities will need to adapt (i.e., reduce their risk of illness and death8) by creating comfortable indoor temperatures within their homes. However, this depends on whether they can rely on their resources for adopting energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, meaning many vulnerable househo...
