Itten, A.V. (author), Sherry-Brennan, Fionnguala (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Meenakshi Sundaram, A. (author), Devine-Wright, Patrick (author)Providing heat is a key aspect of social life and a necessity for comfort and health in cold climates. Even though heat accounts for a large proportion of worldwide carbon emissions and is the largest energy end-use, it has remained largely untouched by efforts to decarbonize. Efforts to do so meet significant economic, social-psychological,...journal article 2021

Hoicka, Christina E. (author), Das, Runa R. (author), Zhao, Yuxu (author), McMaster, Maria Louise (author), Lieu, J. (author), Wyse, Susan (author)The rapid diffusion of demand-side low-carbon innovations has been identified as a key strategy for maintaining average global temperature rise at or below 1.5 °C. Diffusion research tends to focus on a single sector, or single technology case study, and on a small scope of factors that influence innovation diffusion. This paper describes a...journal article 2021

Dijckmeester, Frans (author)The energy grid is transitioning from a centrally controlled demand response system to a decentralized supply response system. There are multiple reasons for this, but the main one is the need to transition to a low carbon energy system to tackle climate change and decrease our dependency on non-renewable energy sources. Next to this consumers...master thesis 2020
