This paper analyzes the impacts of the modified needs for space heating and cooling due to global warming on the … Switzerland over the period 2010–2060. We find significant welfare gains from reduced heating needs, exceeding largely the costs … of the additional electricity needed for cooling. We also find large rebound effects. For instance, while the climate …

Purpose – The objective of this study is to highlight the questions arising in the design of district heating and … cooling systems (DHCSs) in a distributed generation context and to present a model to help find cost‐effective solutions … decentralized DHCSs design is developed and applied to two real case studies. Findings – Distributed cooling generation partly …

With the improvement of people's living standards all over the world, the demand for cooling (both space cooling and … refrigeration) continues to grow. The increase in cooling-related energy consumption has a growing impact on global climate change …. The importance of improving the energy efficiency of cooling systems is increasing. This paper introduces a series of …
