- Publication 10 March 2022 High Energy-Efficient District Cooling System and Its Engineering Applications in India This paper introduces the studies and experience learned in district cooling project development in developed countries and adaptation process in India for city-level rapid assessment. There are five pilot Indian cities chosen to go through all the process of rapid assessment so as to outline the barriers, challenges, and potential to develop high energy-efficient district cooling system. The paper also instructs the tech-eco analysis tools for rapid assessment, which is developed by the UNEP…
- Publication 23 September 2021 Energy-Efficient Retrofit Measures (EERM) in Residential Buildings: An Application of Discrete Choice Modelling Cross-country evidence on the adoption of energy-efficient retrofit measures (EERMs) in residential buildings is critical to supporting the development of national and pan-European policies aimed at fostering the energy performance upgrade of the building stock. In this light, the aim of this paper is to advance in the understanding of the probability of certain EERMs taking place in eight EU countries, according to a set of parameters, such as building typology, project types, and motivation…
- Publication 17 September 2021 When policy mixes meet firm diversification: sugar-industry investment in bagasse cogeneration in Mexico (2007–2020) In the literature on sustainability transitions, increasing attention has been devoted to the conceptualization and analysis of policy mixes. However, previous research has scarcely examined the relationship between policy mixes and their effects on the actors being targeted. Furthermore, it has neglected the issue of the heterogeneity of target groups and its effect on their responses to policy mixes. In this paper, we aim to fill this knowledge gap by developing a conceptual framework…
- Publication 4 September 2021 Application of environmental ecological strategy in smart city space architecture planning A smart city requires the organic integration of a good ecological environment with people’s healthy life, so that the city can achieve the purpose of economic construction and ecological environmental protection. In this case, the spatial layout of a smart city must be based on the ecological environment. Under the guidance of the concept of ecological protection, the ecological space of smart cities is not only green space and parks. At the same time, the building communities in the city and…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Cooling emissions and policy Synthesis report: Benefits of cooling efficiency and the Kigali Amendment As we face the growing climate emergency, where the world is starting to warm itself with self-reinforcing feedbacks, and tipping points are fast approaching, it is instructive to look to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer for guidance and inspiration. The Montreal Protocol is widely acknowledged as the world’s most successful environmental treaty. It solved the first great threat to the global atmosphere from chlorofluorocarbons and other fluorinated gases that…
