Global resource consumption has seen marked increases in the last century, in particular since the 1950s. In transforming these materials into products, food, infrastructure and energy functions for mobility and housing, significant environmental impacts a ...
According to UNEP, household consumption is responsible for 60 % of the total life cycle impacts of final consumption in most countries. Therefore, the transition to a more sustainable society can only be achieved by changing current consumption and produc ...
The city is a very complex system in which many parameters converge. The large number of these parameters greatly hinders not only an accurate analysis of all of them, but also the assessment of the phenomena that occur in the city and its impact on the en ...
The transformation of society to sustainable consumption and production patterns is a future key challenge. Households play a major role in this transformation process. This paper describes results of a resource consumption analysis at household level, con ...
The Symbiotic Districts research project examines dimensions influencing energy self-sufficiency at neighborhood scale by integrating parameters related to buildings, infrastructure, mobility, food, goods and services. Transposing industrial ecology tools ...
Cities can play a key role in mitigating climate change impacts, as they represent two thirds of the world’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper presents a model-based approach to support cities in the challenge of including energy ...
Industrial sites and their associated energy systems are estimated to be responsible for 31% of worldwide energy consumption. Improving their energy efficiencies has the potential to reduce production costs of industrial sites and contribute towards the 20 ...
The Symbiotic Districts research project examines dimensions influencing energy self-sufficiency at neighborhood scale by integrating parameters related to buildings, infrastructure, mobility, food, goods and services. Transposing industrial ecology tools ...
The paper outlines the theoretical context and preliminary outputs of the investigation on the prospective evolution of existing peri-urban neighborhoods of single-family houses toward lower carbon and more resilient communities, for 2050, in Switzerland. ...
The present work develops a new methodology for assessing urban renewal scenarios at the neighborhood scale. Entitled URBIUS, this methodology seeks to meet the needs of municipalities in terms of planning for the development of their urban built fabric. I ...
