Heating Energy and Peak-Power Demand in a Standard and Low Energy Building

Airaksinen, Miimu; Vuolle, Mika - In: Energies 6 (2013) 1, pp. 235-250

Building energy efficiency legislation has traditionally focused on space heating energy consumption. This has led to a decrease in energy consumption, especially in space heating. However, in the future when more renewable energy is used both on site and in energy systems, the peak energy...

A Review on Energy Consumption from a Socio-Economic Perspective: Reduction through Energy Efficiency and Beyond

Schmidt, Stephan; Weigt, Hannes - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliches Zentrum, Universität Basel - 2013

<u>Abstract: </u> Reducing energy demand and increasing energy efficiency are seen as major elements of the ongoing transformation of energy systems in multiple national and international programs like the EU 20-20-20 targets. Despite the predominately socio-economic nature of energy demand such...

The nexus between financial development and energy consumption in the EU: A dynamic panel data analysis

Çoban, Serap; Topcu, Mert - In: Energy Economics 39 (2013) C, pp. 81-88

The relationship between financial development and energy consumption has newly started to be discussed in energy economics literature. This paper investigates this issue in the EU over the period 1990–2011 by using system-GMM model. No significant relationship is found in the EU27. The...

Cross-country convergence in energy and electricity consumption, 1971–2007

Mohammadi, Hassan; Ram, Rati - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) 6, pp. 1882-1887

Patterns of convergence in per-capita consumption of energy and electricity are studied from a large cross-country data … noted. First, global convergence in energy consumption is generally weak. Second, convergence in electricity usage is strong … convergence in both top and bottom deciles is generally weak, but there are some variations. Fifth, for electricity, convergence …

Effects of moisture content, torrefaction temperature, and die temperature in pilot scale pelletizing of torrefied Norway spruce

Larsson, Sylvia H.; Rudolfsson, Magnus; Nordwaeger, Martin - In: Applied Energy 102 (2013) C, pp. 827-832

Pilot scale pelletizing of torrefied Norway spruce was performed in a factorial design with controlled factors at two levels: material moisture content (11% and 15%) and torrefaction temperature (270 and 300°C), and die temperature as an uncontrolled factor (60–105°C). Compared to commercial...
