Energy Efficiency and Energy Policy

Citygml-based 3d City Model for Energy Diagnostics and Urban Energy Policy Support

This paper aims to evaluate the accuracy and strength of a new approach that automatically calculates the heating demand of whole district areas, modelled in 3D with the open standard CityGML. For this purpose, two residential districts in Ludwigsburg and Karlsruhe have been chosen as case studies. To evaluate the accuracy of the model, the simulation results were compared to real measured cons...

Energy policy models for project independence

The Project Independence Evaluation System for the quantitative analysis of the national energy policy is outlined. The conceptual framework for determining an equilibrium balance of energy supply and demand is characterized. The computational procedure is indicated and an example is presented. The policy application experience and the computational implications are summarized. I. INTRoDucTroN ...

General equilibrium models for energy policy analysis

In this paper we shall provide an elementary overview of the concept of general economic equilibrium in the concrete context of the U.S. energy market. * With this aim in mind, we shall introduce and discuss several important, large-scale energy models which embody the assumptions of the methodology of economic equilibrium. The models which will be discussed were all developed since the OPEC em...
