Abstract:

Lighting accounts for nearly 20% of overall U.S. electricity consumption, 14% of U.S. residential electricity consumption, and 6% of total U.S. carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions. A transition to alternative energy-efficient technologies could reduce this energy consumption considerably. We studied three questions related to energy efficiency lighting choices and consequences, which are: • Question 1: How large is the system-wide effect of a residential lighting retrofit with more efficient lighting technologies? • Question 2: Based on stated preference (SP) data, which factors influen

Abstract:

<p> This study explored energy-related attitudes and energy-saving behaviors that are no- or low-cost and relatively simple to perform. This study relied on two data sources: a longitudinal but cross-sectional survey of 4,102 U.S. residents (five biennial waves of this survey were conducted from 2002 to 2010) and a 2010 cross-sectional survey of 2,000 California residents. These two surveys contained data on two no- and low-cost behaviors: changing thermostat setting to save energy (no-cost behavior) and CFL installation behavior (low-cost behavior).

Abstract:

With such a vast quantity of space, commercial low-slope roofs offer significant potential for sustainable roofing technology deployment. Specifically, building energy performance can be improved by installing rooftop energy technologies such as photovoltaic (PV) panels, and/or including designs such as white or green roofs instead of traditional black. This research aims to inform and support roof decisions through quantified energy performance impacts across roof choices and photovoltaic technologies. The primary dataset for this research was measured over a 16 month period (May 24, 2011 to

Abstract This thesis includes three studies on household preferences for energy goods and services. The first study examines determinants of households’ heating system choices using a choice experiment. The choice sets include six main heating alternatives (district heating, ground heat pump, exhaust air heat pump, solid wood boiler, wood pellet boiler, and electric storage heating) that are described by five attributes (supplementary heating systems, investment costs, operating costs, comfort of use and environmental friendliness). The results imply that hybrid heating appears to be accepted

Um Strommärkte so zu konzipieren damit sie sowohl zur Verringerung der Nutzung fossiler Brennstoffe als auch zur Deckung des steigenden Energiebedarfes beitragen, ist Wissen über die Präferenzen der Konsumenten notwendig. Die vorliegende kumulative Dissertation untersucht Präferenzen für Elektrizitätsattribute von privaten Haushalten und trägt zu einem tieferen Verständnis dieser in unterschiedlichen Kontextsituationen bei. Der erste Artikel betrachtet statistische Methoden um die zwei am häufigsten angewandten Modelle – das Random Parameter Logit und das Latent Class Logit Modell – zu vergl

Abstract:

A reestruturação do Setor Elétrico Brasileiro foi iniciada na década de 90, passando por uma fase de transição até chegar ao atual modelo institucional, finalizada em 2004. Este modelo define um Ambiente de Contratação Regulado (ACR) e um Ambiente de Contratação Livre (ACL), onde consumidores qualificados podem optar por adquirir energia em ambos os ambientes. No ACR, os fornecedores de energia para consumidores finais são as distribuidoras, enquanto no ACL a escolha entre os agentes de oferta é livre. As distribuidoras, antes da reestruturação do setor, realizavam a projeção de sua demanda co

Diese Dissertation quantifiziert die Zahlungsbereitschaft (ZB) der Konsumenten für die Verbesserung des Kraftstoffverbrauchs von Personenkraftwagen (PKW) und untersucht die Faktoren, die den unterschiedlichen Verbraucherbewertungen dieser Verbesserungen zugrunde liegen. Die Arbeit besteht aus drei eigenständigen Aufsätze, deren wissenschaftlichen Beiträge sowohl im inhaltlichen als auch im methodischen Bereich liegen. Auf der methodischen Seite nutzt die Arbeit verschiedene Datentypen und statistische Verfahren, um die ZB-Werte zu ermitteln. Inhaltlich werden in der Arbeit die Auswirkungen ver

Abstract:

Il crescente fabbisogno energetico e la necessità di ridurre l'inquinamento atmosferico stanno spingendo la ricerca verso soluzioni alternative di produzione di energia. Una di queste potrebbe essere l'inserimento di turbine eoliche ad asse verticale (VAWT), come quella Savonius, nella generazione distribuita. La Savonius ha un design semplice e può generare potenza anche a basse velocità del vento quindi, con l'obiettivo di aumentarne il coefficiente di potenza, sono state studiate delle pale con una forma alternativa a quella tradizionale semicilindrica. Una volta selezionato il design con l

Abstract:

The use of renewable energy as part of the solution for stabilising global warming has been promoted in industrialised countries for the past three decades. In the last ten years, China, a non-democratic and less-developed state, has implemented non-hydro alternative energy sources through top-down, technology-oriented measures and expanded its renewable energy capacity with unprecedented speed and breadth. This phenomenon seems to contradict to the principle of orthodox environmental governance, in which stakeholder participation is deemed as necessary condition for effective policy outcomes.
