Studying the Dynamic Relationship between Energy Supply Carbon Content and Building Energy Demand

Marilyne Andersen, Didier Albert Simon Vuarnoz, Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme, Stefano Cozza

Due to different temporal combinations of energy generation processes, the global warming potential (GWP) of energy supply evolves constantly. Despite this, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to the energy consumption in buildings are commonly asse ...

Invasive floating macrophytes reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a small tropical lake

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Floating macrophytes, including water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), are dominant invasive organisms in tropical aquatic systems, and they may play an important role in modifying the gas exchange between water and the atmosphere. However, these systems a ...
