A general tendency is identified that policies shift emphasis fr

Improved capacity building for policy implementation is also important.Components of small urban parks that pred

Well-designed small parks may serve restoration well, but earlier research on restorative environments does not provide detailed informati

19、on about the specific components of the physical environment that support restoration. In this study we assessed the extent to which hardscape, grass, lower ground vegetation, flowering plants, bushes, trees, water, and size predicted the judged possibility for restoration in small urban green space

20、s. We took individual parks as the units of analysis. The parks were sampled from Scandinavian cities, and each park was represented by a single photo. Each photo was quantified in terms of the different objective park components and also rated on psychological variables related to restoration. The

21、ratings on the psychological variables being away, fascination, likelihood of restoration, and preference were provided by groups of people familiar with such parks. The variables most predictive of the likelihood of restoration were the percentage of ground surface covered by grass, the amount of t

22、rees and bushes visible from the given viewing point, and apparent park size. Formal mediation analyses indicated distinctive patterns of full and partial mediation of the relations between environmental components and restoration likelihood by being away and fascination. Our results provide guidanc

24、e electricity in OECD countries. Although it is perhaps too early to draw a conclusive judgement on the effectiveness of this instrument in increasing renewable capacity and decreasing the price of certificates, one view in the literature maintains that long-term contracts are of particular importan

25、ce for TGCs to be effective. This paper contributes to this debate by analysing how financial constraints and technological progress can induce investors to hold pessimistic expectations of their ability to sell green certificates and still make a profit. Clearly, these expectations will prevent inv

26、estors from building new capacity to fulfil the quota comprised in TGCs and will keep the price of certificates traded in the market high. As this kind of expectation is not influenced by most design features of TGCs, one can conclude that long-term contracts are particularly important in determinin

27、g the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these instruments. Some attention should therefore be paid to the features of the TGCs, which induce obliged parties to offerlong-term contracts to renewable generators.Selecting Safer Building Products In PracticeIn recent years the green building movem

Although the annual fuel cost of the household would increase, the ICE based cogeneration systems can provide savings in various aspects regarding electricity production and distribution.北方特低溫地區(qū)家居室內(nèi)暖爐的建設(shè)與應(yīng)用加拿大的方法The problem of windfarm location: A social multi-crite

33、ria evaluation framework Although wind energy has the green image, the location of windfarms is always a source of local conflicts. Opposition may depend on the extensive land use of windfarms, their possible impacts on tourism or their visual impact, as well as NIMBY (Never In My Back-Yard behavior

34、. On the other hand, some social actors are normally in favor of wind parks because they perceive them as a possibility of development or simply a source of income. In these situations, the management of the energy policy process involves many layers and kinds of decisions, and requires the construc

35、tion of a dialogue process among many social actors, individual and collective, formal and informal, local and non-local. This implies that the political and social framework must find a place in evaluation exercises. This is the objective of social multi-criteria evaluation (SMCE. In this article,

36、SMCE is proposed as a general framework for dealing with the problem of wind park location. The major strength of SMCE is the possibility of integrating both socio-economic and technical dimensions inside a coherent framework. A real-world case study is used as an illustrative example.風(fēng)電場規(guī)劃方法:社會(huì)綜合多重

The impacts related to all the phases of the wind farm construction and operation have been compared to the environmental benefits due to the “green” electricity generatio

In other terms, the goal is to trace the ecoprofile of the production of 1 kWh of electricity.A life cycle assessment (LCA has been performed based on data related to an Italian wind farm: production and deliver of energy and raw materials, components manufacturing, transpo

44、of system Rooms with concrete slab roofs directly exposed to the sun become unbearably hot during summer and very cold during winter. Huge amounts of energy are required to keep them comfortable. Application of thermal insulation on roofs significantly reduces energy required for heating and cooling

45、. The effectiveness of roof insulations may be further enhanced if a layer of antisolar coating is applied on top of the insulation. The antisolar coating reflects most of the incident sunlight and prevents the roof from heating up. This reduces the daily cycles of thermal expansion and contraction which cause c
