Simulation-Based Analysis of Energy and Carbon Emissions in the Housing Sector

A System Dynamics Approach

af Clinton Ohis Aigbavboa, m.fl.

This book describes the development of a system dynamics-based model that can capture the future trajectories of housing energy and carbon emissions. It approaches energy and carbon emissions in the housing sector as a complex socio-technical problem involving the analysis of intrinsic interrelationships among dwellings, occupants and the environment. Based on an examination of the UK housing sector but with relevance worldwide, the book demonstrates how the systems dynamics simulation can be us... (Læs mere)
