Introduction. The global energy statistic report and the sectorial energy consumption analysis of Kemmler et al. (2014) show that around 40% of the Swiss final energy consumption is used for space heating (SH) and domestic hot water (DHW) production.Adding the energy consumed by other building services to heat demand, …

3 · Building energy consumption prediction models are powerful tools for optimizing energy management. Among various methods, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become increasingly popular. This paper reviews studies since 2015 on using ANNs to predict building energy use and demand, focusing on the characteristics of different ANN …
Indicators were selected in accordance with prior research on the variables that influence the spatial correlation network structure of urban energy carbon emission efficiency [83,84]. Table 4 shows these indicators. ① Science and education level.
We focus on collectives (e.g., cooperatives, energy utilities or public administrations) that engage with solar PV in Switzerland, a technology that is seen as central to the future of the Swiss ...
Structural factors include structural stress fields and structural locations, while nonstructural factors include organic matter content, brittle mineral content, stratum thickness, and buried depth conditions (Hooker et al., 2009, Cai et …
Phase-Field Simulations: For the phase field simulation of the nanocomposites, the spatial distribution of the E in steady-state system under the 2D AC/DC module is modeled; for the dynamic breakdown process, the scalar phase field s(x, t) is introduced using a modified phase-field model to describe it. As detailed in the …
Data source and preprocessing Data source. POI is the most important element of population agglomeration, which can better reflect the spatial distribution of material resources in the city, but its spatial distribution pattern is different (Yang and Li, 2022).POI opens up a new way of thinking for the study of urban spatial structure, and it …
For underground water-sealed oil storage, the spatial variability of the surrounding rock has a significant impact on the water-sealed effect of a water curtain system. This study ...
The construction sector is presently among the most resource-intensive industries, driving a substantial body of research dedicated to the development of more sustainable materials to address these demands. A particularly promising approach within the framework of the circular economy is the repurposing of waste as a principal raw material for the creation of …
Comparing the spatial differences in the energy intensity of the Group of Twenty (G20) countries and identifying the factors that influence these differences can help the G20 countries formulate targeted policies to achieve energy conservation goals. This study analyzes the spatial differences in the G20 countries'' energy intensity at the aggregate …
The project is based on a spatial–temporal characterization of energy demand and renewable energy supply; one of its tasks is to design optimal decentralized energy …
Understanding the spatial structure of soil properties at field scale and introducing this information into appropriate data analysis methods can help in detecting the effects of different soil management …
Such structure is expected from a receptive field composed of nonlinear subunits but cannot be explained by a global nonlinearity applied after linear spatial integration (for example, in standard ...
Switzerland 2023 - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency. Switzerland is not part of the European Union (EU) but its energy, and in particular its electricity, market is closely intertwined with that of its neighbouring EU countries.
Energy storage in the geological subsurface provides large potential capacities to bridge temporal gaps between periods of production of solar or wind power …
Compressed air energy storage in aquifers (CAESA) has been considered a potential large-scale energy storage technology. However, due to the lack of actual field tests, research on the underground processes is still in …
The chapter provides a broad-brush introduction to the subject of spatial analysis as a general backdrop to the discussion of the individual chapters of this volume. It first offers a range of definitions of spatial analysis from …
The Sustainable Development Goals, championed by the United Nations, have elevated the importance of renewable energy development (RED) within China''s energy landscape. As China strives to align its energy goals with these global objectives, it becomes imperative to delve into the intricate spatial dynamics of renewable energy. …
The increasing deployment of intermittent renewable energy technologies has led to the need for additional energy storage capacities. Therefore, the governmental facilitation of renewable energy technologies (RETs) should not only focus on the quantity of energy produced (i.e. kWh), but should also include "quality" aspects.
Based on similar research on the future change trend of land use and merged with the actual circumstance of the investigated area, regional land use change was simulated by means of 14 driving factors (Sun et al., 2023a) (Table 1), which were divided into two categories: 9 socio-economic factors, such as GDP, population, railway, …
The construction of urban forests in built-up areas of Beijing directly affects the quality of the region''s ecological environment (Ge et al., 2016) cause all the natural ecological communities in the area have disappeared, currently, the urban forests primarily consist of parks and various types of attached green areas that are mainly composed of …
We analyze technology and regional implications of three targets for electricity generation from new renewable sources (17 to 25 TWh/year from solar PV, …
Underground reservoir technology for coal mines can realize the coordinated development of coal exploitation and water protection in water-shortage-prone areas.
