With an ever growing population, global energy demand is predicted to keep increasing. Furthermore, the integration of renewable energy sources into the electricity grid (to reduce carbon emission and humanity's dependency on fossil fuels), complicates eff ...
Processes industries consume large amounts of natural resources and generate large amounts of waste/emissions into the environment. Consequently, important issues and challenges within the process industries are rational use of raw materials, water and ene ...
Energy demand and renewable potentials need to be synchronized in time and space. Energy has to be provided at the right place at the time of demand and in the quantity needed. This means, that a spatial model of the region has to be elaborated that is bas ...

Buildings account for almost 40% of energy consumption in European countries and hence are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent regulations and standards (Minergie, Minergie P, etc.) are strongly encouraging more sustainab ...
Energy needs at the global level are gigantic and steadily increasing while the need to reduce carbon emissions is vital if catastrophic climate change is to be avoided. In the Global South, a large part of the population still lacks access to energy, whic ...
This thesis has two objectives. The first objective is to better understand the value of energy efficiency in buildings and its relationship to secondary market real estate prices. The second objective is to understand the cost of the implied insurance inc ...
Fundamental changes are currently taking place in mod- ern energy systems and, particularly, in electrical ones. Infras- tructures have to satisfy conflicting requirements: providing reliable and secure services to an increasing number of customers, taking ...
This Concept Note reviews the main types of energy scenarios and models currently used to anticipate energy demand and inform energy transitions. It highlights their limitations, in particular the uncertainties associated with assessing future demand, and ...
We study constraints on new physics from Higgs production at the LHC in the context of an effective field theory (EFT), focusing on Higgs searches in HV (V = W, Z) associated production which are particularly sensitive to the high-energy behavior of certai ...
Demand response (DR) emerges as one of the cheapest and greenest solutions to match supply and demand in the electricity sector. While DR has been focused on large and industrial consumers, pervasive implementation (by including residential consumers) is n ...
