Varieties of Local Implementation for Net Zero in China: Evidence From Three Cities

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since China updated its nationally determined contributions in 2021, achieving carbon peaking before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060—the so‐called “dual carbon” goals—has become the new guiding principle of China's climate governance. However, few studies have examined the implementation of China's dual carbon goals, particularly the ...

Buildings energy retrofit : dealing with uncertainty

, 2016
Over the span of the past decade, the interest in issues related to building energy efficiency has been ever growing. Consequently, an increasing amount of studies has focused on the economic viability of energy retrofit measures. Despite all these research efforts, the results are still uncertain and conflicting. Nonetheless, such studies have brought

Power, (De)Politicisation and Polycentric Governance: Evidence From UK Local Climate Policy

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article extends (de)politicisation theory to elucidate power dynamics in polycentric governance. It develops an original analytical framework to empirically investigate how governmental, societal and discursive (de)politicisation processes emerge within and across decision‐making centres. The framework focuses on dimensions of technocracy,

Prioritizing Energy-Efficient Envelope Retrofit Strategies for Existing Residential Buildings in Severe Cold Regions Through Multi-Dimensional Benefit Evaluation

Buildings
Energy-efficient retrofit of existing residential buildings is essential for reducing heating energy demand and carbon emissions in severe cold regions. However, the absence of a structured quantitative evaluation approach often limits effective decision-

Industrial HVAC Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Retrofit Economics

, 1980
Retrofitting air-to-air energy recovery equipment is relatively simply to design and easy to install. Additionally, HVAC energy recovery is almost risk free when compared to process retrofit.

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...

Weak‐Story Mitigation and Drift Redistribution in Moment‐Resisting Frames Using Stepping Rocking Walls

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.

A Methodology for Identifying Retrofit Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings [PDF]

, 1992
Measured energy savings resulting from energy conservation retrofits in commercial buildings can be used to verify the success of the retrofits, determine the payment schedule for the retrofits, and guide the selection of future retrofits.
