- Publication 14 December 2022 How Can Blockchain Technology Accelerate Energy Efficiency Interventions? A Use Case Comparison This paper qualitatively evaluates the application of blockchain technology for three energy efficiency use cases. To achieve the Sustainable Development Agenda, energy efficiency improvements have to double by 2030. However, the adoption of energy efficiency interventions is slow due to several market barriers. Blockchain technology is a nascent technology with the potential to address these barriers or even fundamentally change energy system designs, by enabling transparent, decentralised,…
- Publication 14 December 2022 Too complicated and impractical? An exploratory study on the role of energy system models in municipal decision-making processes in Denmark Energy system models can contribute to the transition to low-carbon energy systems by helping devise pathways and calculate costs of energy policies and targets. As such, they are intended to provide support for energy planning, especially at the national level. Since energy system models are often developed outside urban contexts, their municipal policy relevance cannot be taken for granted. It is still unclear to what extent and how energy system models are applied to create municipal energy…
- Publication 14 December 2022 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…
- Publication 14 December 2022 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 14 December 2022 Piloting a City Health Adaptation Typology with data from climate-engaged cities: Toward identification of an urban health adaptation gap Climate change has important population health impacts, and cities are often on the frontlines. However, health is reported to be less active in climate adaptation than other sectors. To contribute to better understanding urban health adaptation efforts and identifying gaps we developed a City Climate Health Adaptation Typology and tested it with adaptation actions of 106 large world cities (population > 1 million) reported to a major publicly-available adaptation database. We found two…
- Publication 14 December 2022 Space utilization and activity recognition using 3D stereo vision camera inside an educational building Accurate occupancy information is imperative for the optimization of built-in environments to achieve energy savings and user comfort. Comprehending the occupancy information provides an opportunity to interpret movement patterns, circulation-flow, space usage patterns inside the building. In this paper, we designed a case study that includes experimental testbeds from the HL Linder Hall Cafeteria; a public shared space at the University of Cincinnati College of Business, United States. Based…
