- Publication 16 August 2021 Renewable energy technologies: barriers and policy implications Renewable energy, especially for electricity generation, has been growing at a fast pace with global renewable power capacity addition reaching two-thirds of total generation capacity added in 2018. Renewable power has become competitive with fossil fuel in many countries but renewables still face a variety of barriers to achieve their full potential. The barriers vary across countries/regions and include economic, technical, awareness and information, financial, regulatory and policy,…

- Publication 16 August 2021 How design shapes space choice behaviors in public urban and shared indoor spaces- A review This systematic literature review synthesizes the major physical and socio-physical determinants on space choice behaviors in open (i.e., non-defined uses) versus enclosed (i.e., specific uses defined) spaces. The purpose is to better understand the trade-offs between open and enclosed spaces and how opposing and complimentary design elements influence behavior and occupancy choices. Using the lens of space choice behaviors, we hypothesize that similar design challenges exists at both scales,…

- Publication 16 August 2021 Incorporating Energy Service Companies in Nationally Determined Contributions: The potential of ESCOs for meeting the climate goals in the Paris Agreement Energy efficiency is central to efforts to make the transition to clean energy, achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and limit the average global temperature increase to 1.5˚C by the turn of the century. Energy efficiency is a cost-effective means of reducing 40% of the carbon emissions required to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement. As of 2018, there are 789 million people without access to electricity, 2.8 billion without access to clean cooking and more than a billion at high…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Blockchain application for the paris agreement carbon market mechanism-a decision framework and architecture This paper evaluates the suitability of blockchain technology for the Article 6.2 carbon market mechanism of the Paris Agreement. The bottom-up approach of the Paris Agreement causes challenges to the robust accounting of mitigation outcomes and information asymmetry, both of which result from a high number of heterogeneous emission accounting systems. Blockchain is an innovative technology that can act as an aggregation platform for these fragmented systems while enhancing transparency and…
