The present paper aims to fully summarize the current scientific and technological experience focusing on the comparative characteristics of roof pond variants. The design guidelines and pond characteristics provide the opportunity to make the proper decision of a roof pond variant for cooling...

This study investigates the performance of a refrigeration unit by applying a spray evaporative cooling system to an air-cooled chiller. Experiments are conducted in the temperate monsoon climate region by combining the spray evaporative cooling system with the air-cooled chiller. Moreover, this...

Aufgrund der starken Abhängigkeit Deutschlands von russischem Gas müssen alle Möglichkeiten zum Gassparen genutzt werden, um eine mögliche Gasknappheit zu vermeiden. Zugleich sind die Gaspreise stark gestiegen und besonders betroffene Haushalte müssen entlastet werden. Auf Grundlage einer...

Management commitment and perception of the need to adapt and adjust hotel operations in the face of the energy crisis on the path of reducing energy consumption under the REPowerEU plan have been little addressed in the literature, although it is a very topical issue. This research fills this...

Energy efficiency commitments, often associated with tradable energy efficiency certificates, dubbed white certificates, were recently implemented in the United Kingdom and Italy and will soon start in France. Energy suppliers have to fund a given quantity of energy efficiency measures, or to...

This paper analyses the policy relevance of the dominant uncertainties in our current scientific understanding of the terrestrial climate system, and provides further evidence for the need to radically transform - this century - our global infrastructure of energy supply, given the global...

Energy saving and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction policies at local level need to be investigated and new tools for climate change mitigation are necessary seeking to achieve GHG emission targets in Lithuania. Most Lithuanian municipalities have signed Covenant of Mayors and have...

This paper analyses the trends of final energy consumption in Latvia and Czech Republic. Analysis of final energy consumption during 2000-2013 period indicated the main driving forces of final energy consumption during and after world financial crisis of 2008. The paper aimed to evaluate the...

The original rationale for adopting daylight saving time (DST) was energy savings. Modern research studies, however, question the magnitude and even direction of the effect of DST on energy consumption. Representing the first meta-analysis in this literature, we collect 162 estimates from 44...
