Design and Analysis of a Two-Stage Cascade System for Heating and Hot Water Production in Nearly Zero-Energy Buildings Using Thermoelectric Technology

Buildings
This paper proposes an innovative system that integrates two thermoelectric heat pumps (one air–water and the other water–water) with two thermal storage tanks at different temperatures to provide heating and domestic hot water to a 73.3 m2 passive-house-

Ecological dams: Concept, transformation, and developmental pathways of dam projects under the framework of river ethics

River, EarlyView.
This figure elaborates the scientific connotation and systematic construction path of ecological dams. Adopting a full‐cycle analysis framework centered on ecological impacts and benefits throughout the project lifecycle, it covers four key stages from planning to post‐completion, with core focuses on risk avoidance, impact control, ecological health ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

How Program‐ and Community‐Led Design Settings Affect Resilience Approaches to Sustainable Development Projects

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Development interventions must deal with rapid and novel changes affecting complex social‐ecological systems, calling for design based on a resilience approach. However, limited analytical attention has been paid to the design settings in which such approaches are deployed.

High resolution modelling for performance assessment of future dwellings [PDF]

, 2014
In future low-energy buildings, electrical power and hot water use will feature prominently in the overall energy demand. Unlike space heating, these demand constituents are intermittent and vary rapidly over a few seconds.
