Environmental Impacts of Promoting New Public Transport Systems in Urban Mobility: A Case Study
Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems, 2017 Urban mobility is highly dependent on private vehicles causing pollution, traffic congestion and traffic accidents. The tram has become one of the most relevant public transport modes in those cities which need to reduce the private vehicle dependency ...

Thermodynamic Rarity and the Loss of Mineral Wealth
Energies, 2015 The second law of thermodynamics and, specifically, exergy analysis have been traditionally used for the assessment and optimization of energy systems. Nevertheless, as shown in this paper, exergy could also constitute a powerful tool for the evaluation ...

Home Energy Consumption Feedback: A User Survey [PDF]
, 2012 Buildings account for a relevant fraction of the energy consumed by a country, up to 20-40% of the yearly energy consumption. If only electricity is considered, the fraction is even bigger, reaching around 73% of the total electricity consumption ...
