The building sector accounts for a significant proportion of industrial countries total energy use, thus a cut in this sector has been regarded necessary to reach future climate goals.

This master thesis is centered around finding cost optimal energy supply systems for zero emission buildings at an early stage of the building process.

Abstract During the uncontrolled consumption period the building sector has come to account one of the greatest proportions of greenhouse gas emissions and energy use in industrial countries.

For these reasons, zero emission buildings, which have a net zero annual energy demand, were regarded as a possible solution.

Investments in space systems are substantial, indivisible, and irreversible, characteristics that make them high-risk, especially when coupled with an uncertain demand environment. Traditional approaches to system design and acquisition, derived from a performance- or cost-centric mindset, incorporate little information about the spacecraft in relation to its environment and its value to its stakeholders. These traditional approaches, while appropriate in stable environments, are ill-suited for the current, distinctly uncertain and rapidly changing technical, and economic conditions; as such,

Abstract:
We examine the optimal design of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) by focusing on two key features: the anonymity-security trade-off and the remuneration (i.e., interest rate). Building on the extended model by Agur et al. (2022), which accounts for potential negative externalities associated with the anonymity of payment methods, we incorporate the possibility of multiple CBDCs into the framework. Our findings reveal that with optimally designed CBDCs and when anonymity costs are significant, a cashless economy is the preferred choice for the central bank. Furthermore, irrespective of a

Abstract:
We analyze information intermediaries in large economies with costly information acquisition. Intermediaries face a trade-off between quality and dissemination speed. Both altruistic policymakers and profit-maximizing monopolists optimally choose to sample limited information, increasing the number of partially informed agents and enhancing spillovers despite slower information accumulation. Altruistic information-sharing bureaus minimize fees by inducing low provider default rates, while monopolist bureaus maximize fees through higher faulty service rates. Information trade resembles a natura

An Optimization Model for Die Sets Allocation to Minimize Supply Chain Cost. SAE International, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/2022-01-5057.

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel mixed-integer programming model is developed to optimally assign the die sets to candidate plants to minimize the total costs. The total costs include freight shipping stamped parts to assembly plants, die set movement, outsourcing, and utilization. Therefore, the objective function is weighted multi-criteria and it takes into consideration some of the key constraints in the real-world condition including “must-move die sets”. An optimization tool has been developed that takes several inputs and feeds them as the input to the mathematical model and generates the optimal
