Matthes, Sigrun (author), Lührs, Benjamin (author), Dahlmann, K. (author), Linke, F. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Yin, F. (author), Shine, K.P. (author)Aviation can reduce its climate impact by controlling its CO2-emission and non-CO2 effects, e.g. aviation-induced contrail-cirrus and ozone caused by nitrogen oxide emissions. One option is the implementation of operational measures which aim to avoid those atmospheric regions that are in particular sensitive to non-CO2 aviation effects, e.g....abstract 2020

Lührs, Benjamin (author), Linke, F. (author), Matthes, Sigrun (author), Grewe, V. (author), Yin, F. (author), Shine, K.P. (author)Air traffic contributes to anthropogenic global warming by about 5% due to CO2 emissions (about 1/3) and non-CO2 effects (about 2/3) primarily caused by emissions of NOx and water vapour as well as the formation of contrails. Since aviation is expected to maintain its trend to grow over the next decades, mitigation measures are required...abstract 2020

Dahlmann, K. (author), Matthes, Sigrun (author), Yamashita, H. (author), Unterstrasser, S. (author), Grewe, V. (author), Marks, Tobias (author)An operational measure to aim for mitigation of aviation climate impact that is inspired by migrant birds is to fly in aerodynamic formation. This operational measure adapted to human aircraft would eventually save fuel and is, therefore, expected to reduce the climate impact of aviation. As this method changes beside the total emission also the...abstract 2020

Ortiz, Marco A. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)Two main strategies have generally been used for tackling energy reduction: one dealing with the design and development of building systems and appliances that are engineered to be as efficient as possible while meeting standards, the other addressing the user, usually through campaigns, advertisements, or physical interventions, with the...abstract 2018

Kwon, M. (author), Remøy, H.T. (author)The building sector accounts for more than one-third of the total primary energy use and has significant potential for energy saving [1]. However, various physical and social factors affect the energy performance of dynamic systems, such as the indoor climate condition, the building envelope, maintenance, building equipment, operation, and...abstract 2018

He, S. (author), Qian, QK (author), de Vries, G. (author)In the built environment sector, enhancing energy efficiency through energy retrofitting is a key strategy to mitigate climate change. Despite the efforts made by local municipalities to offer technical and financial support, the rate of home energy retrofit remains low. The decision to undertake home energy retrofit is complex for homeowners....abstract 2023

Yüksel, S. (author), de la Barra Luegmayer, P. (author), Boerstra, A.C. (author), Luna-Navarro, Alessandra (author)Occupants are often unaware of window-opening strategies that can enhance their well-being and reduce energy consumption. Window feedback systems that indicate when to manually operate a window have become a strategy for enhancing the indoor climate, occupant’s satisfaction and energy efficiency. These systems are recognized for providing the...abstract 2023

Nawaz, M.F. (author), Goncalves, J. E. (author), Verma, T. (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Doorn, N. (author)Driven by climate change and energy crises, an increasing number of households in the European Union are becoming vulnerable to energy poverty. However, current renovation programs fall short in effectively targeting and addressing the needs of vulnerable groups, particularly in underprivileged neighborhoods where low effectiveness rates and...abstract 2023

Stefanie Horian, S.H. (author), Qian, QK (author), Hoekstra, J.S.C.M. (author), Visscher, H.J. (author)Energy efficiency renovation (EER) of the existing residential housing stock is crucial to achieving further decarbonization to be climate neutral by 2050. This transition is particularly challenging for affordable rental housing providers as they have to make intensive investment decisions while balancing rental affordability for their low- and...abstract 2023

Valtchev, S.S. (author)The development of more efficient power converters is the most important and challenging task for Power Electronics specialists. In the same time, many currently existing or yet to appear future applications require full mechanical independence between the transmitter and receiver of the electrical energy. This contactless form of energy...book 2008

Kwon, M. (author), Mlecnik, E. (author), Gruis, V.H. (author)Local authorities (LAs) play an essential role in diffusing home energy renovation measures. However, there are rare business models developed for local authority actions. This paper aims to develop a critical review of the way that local authorities developed business models for pop-up centres where consultants can encourage home energy...book chapter 2022

Konstantinou, T. (author), Heesbeen, C. (author)Given the European building stock’s current size and state, its potential to be renovated up to an energy-neutral quality is getting much attention, contributing to energy transition and other sustainable and societal benefits. To tackle this potential, both the number of buildings that undergo renovation and the amount of the resulting energy...book chapter 2022

Hildebrand, L. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Kosanović, Saja (author), Klein, T. (author), Knaack, U. (author)Buildings are characterised as some of the greatest consumers and pollutants of the planet. However, the genesis of environmental design, in the context of its modern meaning, as shown in this paper, is not so much based on initial requests to reduce the negative pressure on the environment, but more on the tendency to ensure the continuity of...book chapter 2018
