The Local Dimension of Energy
Kelly, S.; Pollitt, M. - Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge - 2011
In this paper, we postulate that some of the best opportunities for reducing energy demand and carbon emissions are through stronger involvement and leadership from local government. We show that local government can and do have a significant impact on both energy production and energy...

Optimal utilisation of heat demand in district heating system—A case study
Gebremedhin, Alemayehu - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 30 (2014) C, pp. 230-236
Global warming is one of the most important issues to handle in the energy sector, due to the high CO2 emissions from fossil fuel based power plants. The district heating sector can play a significant role in reducing the emissions. This, however, depends on how efficiently current and future...

Energy savings of a house with solar heating, earth cooling and air circulation
Zhang, Qingyuan; Ishihara, Osamu; Hayashi, Tetsuo - In: Renewable Energy 5 (1994) 5, pp. 1135-1137
A new type of residence with solar heating, earth cooling and air circulation(the SEA House) has been proposed by the authors. In winter, the house is heated by solar energy. Thermal insulation, heat storage and air circulation are used to maintain the room temperature at a comfortable level and...
