Benchmarking the energy performance for cooling purposes in buildings is an important tool for energy management. This … paper proposes a novel index and develops a benchmarking process for energy performance for cooling purposes by means of … data envelopment analysis and cooling degree hour method. The research begins by using climate data to calculate cooling …

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 …

functions of heating, cooling, and hot water supply was designed and its performance was investigated according to operating … modes. In the cooling-hot water mode, the capacity and COP were enhanced as compared to other modes because the waste heat … from the outdoor heat exchanger was utilized as useful heat in the indoor heat exchanger. In the heating and hot water …
