• Publication 16 August 2021 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…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Energy efficiency in developing countries: Policies and programmes This book presents a comparative analysis of energy efficiency policies in developing countries. Although there is a vast amount of literature available about renewable energy policy and implementation in the developing world, energy efficiency tends to lack attention. This book fills this lacuna by examining the current state of the field and scope for future improvements. Drawing on a wide range of case studies including Brazil, China and Chile, the authors use a comparative approach to…

• Publication 16 August 2021 Regulations and incentive policy framework for district energy system development: An analysis in India This chapter describes the findings and recommendations of rapid assessment on regulation and policy in India to integrate district energy under UNEP’’s District Energy in Cities Initiative. The district energy systems, including district heating and cooling systems, have been considered a cost-effective way to increase energy efficiency and reduce air pollution at the city level. The initiative started its demonstration of district cooling in India by selecting five pilot cities in 2017. The…
• Publication 16 August 2021 Measuring road space consumption by transport modes: Toward a standard spatial efficiency assessment method and an application to the development scenarios of Rajkot City, India The space “consumed” by various urban passenger transport modes varies greatly depending on the size and the speed of vehicles. Past studies have shown that public transport (PT) and non-motorized transport (NMT) can be up to 20 times more space-efficient compared to a typical car. This optimal use of space is of relevance in an urban context where space is often a constrained resource. Yet space used by vehicles is rarely assessed in the practice of transport planning. There exists no standard…
