The major environmental and economic burdens occurring from the high-energy consumption of buildings led to energy performance being a critical aspect for green building rating systems. Building energy codes play an important role for such performances through establishing the baseline...

Building energy demands in the future could increase due to the climate change driven increase in outdoor temperatures. Gulf countries characterized by extreme climate and dependency on fossil fuels would be especially vulnerable to such impacts. Considering that in such countries about 80% of...

The trend of urban and suburban developments is concluding that more than 70% of the world population will be living in urban areas by mid-21st century within dis-comfortable built environment. In Egypt, a concern about climate change resilient communities is having more listeners after Paris...

The main objective of the research is to examine the dynamic relationship between energy consumption, CO2 emissions and economic output in ASEAN for the period 1971-2015 using cointegration and causality models. The empirical results from the models suggest that there is a long-run relationship...

During the last two decades CO2 emissions increased rapidly along with the growth of production and energy use in the industrial sector in Thailand. We use the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to decompose the source of changes of CO2 emission level and CO2 emission intensity of the...

This paper has done research on the current situation of energy development and its problems in Yulin for improving the coordinated development between economy and ecological environment. Through the current situation analysis of the principal energy development and environmental pollution, it...
