Key Energy and Technological Aspects of Three Innovative Concepts of District Energy Networks

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Samuel Henchoz, Patrick Chatelan

Energy needs in urban areas are heterogeneous by their nature, spatial distribution and temperature level required. Three concepts of district energy networks that could provide the energy services efficiently to a city centre are compared. The focus is on ...

Modeling transition paths towards decentralized regional energy autonomy: the role of legislation, technology adoption, and resource availability

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Maria Anna Hecher

Decentralized energy sy stems are increasingly seen as a key factor for a transition towards a low-car- bon, renewable energy based society. Within the transition process, regional demand and supply of renewable energy carriers have to be aligned, while co ...

Multi – objective, integrated, regional energy system optimisation

François Maréchal, Alexandre Suzanne Jean-Marie Bertrand, Riad Aggoune

INSPIRATION In an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to improve resource use, the European Commission published in 2012 a new directive on energy efficiency (2012/27/EU). Among other measures, it requires member states to conduct cost-benefit an ...

Key energy and technological aspects of three innovative concepts of District energy networks

François Maréchal, Daniel Favrat, Samuel Henchoz

In urban areas, the use of thermal energy services is intensive and relatively heterogeneous by their nature, spatial distribution and temperature level required. In this study three concepts of district energy networks that could provide these services ve ...

Analysing and modelling the growth and efficiency of urban transportation infrastructures

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Nahid Mohajeri Pour Rayeni

The total population of the United Kingdom is expected to increase from 63 million in 2011 to 73 million people in 2037. This is an increase by 16% in 26 years, which puts the urban infrastructure, particularly the transportation infrastructure, under grea ...

Numerical study of the heating-cooling effects on the geotechnical behaviour of energy piles.

Lyesse Laloui, Fabrice Dupray, Alice Di Donna

Energy geostructures represent a renewable and clean source of energy which can be used for heating and cooling of buildings and de-icing of infrastructures. This technology couples the structural role of geostructures with the energy supply, using the pri ...

Modelling the Urban Microclimate and its Influence on Building Energy Demands of an Urban Neighbourhood

Jérôme Henri Kämpf

In the past decades the portion of the population living in urban areas has continuously increased. Due to the high building density, the microclimate in urban areas changed significantly compared to rural areas. The temperatures measured in urban areas ar ...

Molecular Borophosphate Cages

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin

A synthetic procedure for the synthesis of two molecular borophosphate cages is described. Heating of ethyl phosphate with phenylboronic or 4-formylboronic acid in toluene gives [6+6] condensation products of the general formula EtOPO3BAr. Crystallogr ...

Accounting for expectations about the future: a dynamic discrete-continuous choice model (DDCCM) of car ownership, usage and fuel type

Michel Bierlaire, Aurélie Glerum, Emma Frejinger

Car ownership and usage can vary importantly across years due to various factors, such as the introduction of new governmental policies, changes in the available technologies or variations of the market features. In order to explain and predict these chang ...
