Advances in multifunctional balanced ventilation technology for dwellings and arising challenge to quantify energy efficiency and renewable generation contributions using international test standards
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-09-12)
This paper evaluates the ability of EN16573:2017 to isolate and quantify the energy efficiency and renewable generation contributions of multifunctional balanced ventilation systems. These systems integrate an air-source ...
Development of a strategy tool for environmental compliance management
(2007)
The EU environmental legislation restricts the use of certain substances in products and, in addition, sets targets for recovery of products reaching end-of-life(EOL). Little support is provided to producers on how to ...
Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) in decision-making for end-of-life of products
(2015)
The proposed EU Waste from Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive sets targets for the reuse and recycling of EEE reaching end-of-life (EOL). How a producer determines which is the best strategy for his/her ...
Products end-of-life scenario modelling using linear algebra
(2003)
There are several options at the end-of-life (EOL) of a product: reuse/part reclamation, remanufacturing, recycling, incineration (with or without energy recovery) or disposal to landfill. Each option has an economic, an ...
A decision support system for end-of-life products
(2003)
In recent years public awareness of environmental issues has increased dramatically. This awareness has resulted in increased governmental control of related matters, for example, of waste and of industrial emissions. ...
Comparison of metaheuristic optimisation methods for grid-edge technology that leverages heat pumps and thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
Grid-edge technology can unlock flexibility from consumers to contribute to meeting the growing need for flexibility in European energy systems. Furthermore, power-to-heat technology such as heat pumps and thermal energy ...
Life cycle cost estimation tool for decision-making in the early phases of the design process
(2007)
Design is a process that involves information processing and decision-making. As cost is an important factor that must be considered in the decision-making at this phase, proper information about costs is extremely important ...
