A review of multi-criteria decision-making applications to solve energy management problems: Two decades from 1995 to 2015
Energy management problems associated with rapid institutional, political, technical, ecological, social and economic development have been of critical concern to both national and local governments worldwide for many decades; thus, addressing such issues is a global priority.
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems, vol. 49/2022
“Neutrosophic Sets and Systems” has been created for publications on advanced studies in neutrosophy, neutrosophic set, neutrosophic logic, neutrosophic probability, neutrosophic statistics that started in 1995 and their applications in any field, such as the neutrosophic structures developed in algebra, geometry, topology, etc. Neutrosophy is a new branch of philosophy that studies the origin, nature, and scope of neutralities, as well as their interactions with different ideational spectra. This theory considers every notion or idea together with its opposite or negation
The Routledge Handbook of the Political Economy of the Environment
Featuring a stellar international cast list of leading and cutting-edge scholars, The Routledge Handbook of the Political Economy of the Environment presents the state of the art of the discipline that considers ecological issues and crises from a political economy perspective. This collective volume sheds new light on the effect of economic and power inequality on environmental dynamics and, conversely, on the economic and social impact of environmental dynamics. The chapters gathered in this handbook make four original contributions to the field of political economy of the environment. First, they revisit essential concepts and methods of environmental economics in the light of their polit...
MULTIPLE CRITERIA SELECTION OF DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR SINGLE-FAMILY HOUSES
The dissertation examines the models of selection and evaluation of architectural and structural solutions for a single-family house (such as structural elements and sustainable materials, shapes of internal staircases and option of garage positioning), based on multiple criteria decision making techniques.
Energiewende und Megatrends
Die Energiewende findet gesellschaftlich nicht im »luftleeren Raum« statt: Sie kann sich nur im Kontext anderer tiefgreifender Prozesse sozialen Wandels vollziehen. Digitalisierung, Mobilität, Urbanisierung - diese und andere gesellschaftliche Großentwicklungen werden als »Megatrends« bezeichnet. Sie gelten als Wegweiser und gesellschaftliche Dimensionen, die berücksichtigt werden müssen, wenn es um die Gestaltung der Zukunft geht. Doch was macht eine Entwicklung eigentlich zu einem solchen Megatrend? Und welchen Einfluss haben diese Megatrends auf die Energiewende? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes diskutieren die Bedingungen von Megatrends sowie die Herausforderungen und Möglichkeiten, die sich angesichts dieser Großentwicklungen für die Energiewende stellen.
Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Techniques for Improvement Sustainability Engineering Processes
The success of any activity and process depends fundamentally on the possibility of balancing (symmetry) needs and their satisfaction. That is, the ability to properly define a set of success indicators. The application of the developed new multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods can be eliminated or decreased by decision-makers’ subjectivity, which leads to consistency or symmetry in the weight values of the criteria. In this Special Issue, 40 research papers and one review study co-authored by 137 researchers from 23 different countries explore aspects of multi-criteria modeling and optimization in crisp or uncertain environments. The papers propose new approaches and elaborate case studies in the following areas of application: MCDM optimization in sustainable engineering, environmental sustainability in engineering processes, sustainable multi-criteria production and logistics processes planning, integrated approaches for modeling processes in engineering, new trends in the multi-criteria evaluation of sustainable processes, and multi-criteria decision-making in strategic management based on sustainable criteria.
Network Data Envelopment Analysis
This book presents the underlying theory, model development, and applications of network Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in a systematic way. The field of network DEA extends and complements conventional DEA by considering not only inputs and outputs when measuring system efficiency, but also the internal structure of the system being analyzed. By analyzing the efficiency of individual internal components, and more particularly by studying the effects of relationships among components which are modeled and implemented by means of various network structures, the “network DEA” approach is able to help identify and manage the specific components that contribute inefficiencies into the overa...
Biometric and Intelligent Decision Making Support
This book presents different methods for analyzing the body language (movement, position, use of personal space, silences, pauses and tone, the eyes, pupil dilation or constriction, smiles, body temperature and the like) for better understanding people’s needs and actions, including biometric data gathering and reading. Different studies described in this book indicate that sufficiently much data, information and knowledge can be gained by utilizing biometric technologies. This is the first, wide-ranging book that is devoted completely to the area of intelligent decision support systems, biometrics technologies and their integrations. This book is designated for scholars, practitioners and doctoral and master’s degree students in various areas and those who are interested in the latest biometric and intelligent decision making support problems and means for their resolutions, biometric and intelligent decision making support systems and the theory and practice of their integration and the opportunities for the practical use of biometric and intelligent decision making support.
Energy Economics: Energy Efficiency in China
This book presents a succinct overview of research on China's Energy Efficiency as studied by the Center for Energy & Environmental Policy Research (CEEP), Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). Energy efficiency, linking energy supply, demand and market, is crucial to the world's energy development. China consumes one fourth of the world's energy currently, however its per capital consumption is no more than half of that in OECD countries. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the situation of China's energy development, proposes and summarizes the methodologies of energy efficiency measurement, and uses these methods to analyze the energy consumption at sectoral and provincial level, the impacts of economic structure on the energy macro-efficiency, the price elasticity of oil demand, and energy efficiency policies simulations. The book provides scientific support for researchers and policy makers dealing with energy efficiency.
Innovations in Digital Economy
This book constitutes the revised and extended papers of the First International Conference on Innovations in Digital Economy, SPBU IDE 2019, held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2019. The 8 papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected for publication from 78 submissions. The papers are organized according the following topical sections: economic efficiency and social consequences of digital innovations implementation; industrial, service and agricultural digitalization; regional innovation systems and clusters as drivers of the economic growth during the Fourth Industrial Revolution; response of an educational system and labor market to the digital-driven changes in the economic system.
