Co-Evolution of Standards in Innovation Systems
Mitigating climate change is one of the most profound challenges facing humankind. In industrialized countries, the residential housing sector produces roughly one-fourth of the greenhouse gas emissions. One solution to reduce these emissions is the availability of building codes that require high levels of energy efficiency. Given the current scientific knowledge, more research is needed to gain a proper systemic understanding of the underlying socio-economic and technical system. Such an understanding is crucial for developing high energy-efficiency standards because this system develops gradually over time and cannot be changed swiftly. This book creates a feedback-rich simulation model f...

Campus Delicti
Düsseldorf in den frühen 2000ern: Ein Student der Heinrich-Heine-Uni wird ermordet. Steingart Bröcker ist Finanzreferent des politisch äußerst linken AStA der Heinrich-Heine-Uni. Eben noch hat er gegen Neonazis demonstriert, am nächsten Tag wird er ermordet aufgefunden. Für den AStA ist sofort klar: Das war eine politische Tat! Doch ist es wirklich so einfach? Mirko Tomacek, junger Kommissar bei der Kripo Düsseldorf, hätte jedenfall gar nichts dagegen, den Neonazi Kai Peters festzunehmen. Doch der Staatsanwalt besteht auf sicheren Beweisen und Mirkos Chef setzt ihn und seine Kollegin Karin Klein auf das Privat- und Unileben des Opfers an. Als die Studentin Sybille in die Nachforschungen hineingezogen wird, steckt sie bald tiefer darin, als ihr lieb ist – und deckt dabei einen ungeheuerlichen Skandal auf.
