Título : Co-Evolution of Standards in Innovation Systems : The Dynamics of Voluntary and Legal Building Codes Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Stefan N. Grösser ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Heidelberg : Physica-Verlag HD Fecha de publicación: 2013 Colección: Contributions to Management Science, ISSN 1431-1941 Número de páginas: XXVIII, 268 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-7908-2858-0 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Business Energy efficiency Management Industrial management and Innovation/Technology Efficiency (incl. Buildings) Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: 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 for analyzing the effects of different administrative policies on energy demand, the improvement of energy efficiency by means of building codes, and reductions in the greenhouse gas emissions. The dynamic model can contribute substantially to the discourse on energy policies and guide effective administrative interventions. The book will be a valuable resource for officials in the public energy administration, as well as researchers in the areas of innovation, diffusion processes, co-evolution, standardization, and simulation modelling Nota de contenido: Forewords -- Part I: Stage and Background.- Part II: Scientific Contributions.- Part III: Closing -- About the Author En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7908-2858-0 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36679 Co-Evolution of Standards in Innovation Systems : The Dynamics of Voluntary and Legal Building Codes [documento electrónico] / Stefan N.

Título : Green Information Systems in the Residential Sector : An Examination of the Determinants of Smart Meter Adoption Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Philipp Wunderlich ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg Fecha de publicación: 2013 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Colección: Progress in IS, ISSN 2196-8705 Número de páginas: XVIII, 116 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-642-36769-4 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Business Energy efficiency Management Industrial management Information technology Data processing Environmental economics and IT in Systems Applications (incl. Internet) Efficiency Buildings) Innovation/Technology Economics Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Given rising electricity consumption, coupled with finite resources, and a growing awareness surrounding sustainable energy, ICT-enabled electrical networks such as smart grids are increasingly being deployed by energy companies. One aspect of smart grids is smart meter technology (SMT), which are sophisticated digital electrical meters, having the potential to increase energy efficiency in both residential and industrial sectors. However, a challenge to SMT-implementation in residential settings has been its successful adoption by consumers. As many cases in the US, and other parts of the world highlight, such implementation projects have run into resistance from the consumers. Despite these challenges, little research has been conducted on this topic. This study is one of the first that attempts to fill that void by empirically examining the antecedents of SMT adoption amongst potential customers and a group of SMT users. Specifically, this study developed a model surrounding consumers’ intention to adopt and use SMT, by drawing on theories of adoption and motivational psychology and also by including a set of context-specific variables Nota de contenido: Introduction -- Smart Grid -- Theoretical Foundations -- Conceptual Model -- Methodology -- Analysis -- Discussion and Interpretation -- Conclusion En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-36769-4 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=36597 Green Information Systems in the Residential Sector : An Examination of the Determinants of Smart Meter Adoption [documento electrónico] / Philipp Wunderlich ; SpringerLink (Online service) . - Berlin, Heidelberg : Springer Berlin Heidelberg : Imprint: Springer, 2013 . - XVIII, 116 p : online resource. - (Progress in IS, ISSN 2196-8705) .

Organización de empresas Resumen: The book addresses the sustainability of cities in the context of sustainability science and its application to the city boundary. In doing so it investigates all the components of a city on the basis of sustainability criteria. To achieve sustainability it is essential to adopt an integrated strategy that reflects all sectors within the city boundary and also address the four key normative concepts: the right to develop for all sections, social inclusion, convergence in living standards, and shared responsibility and opportunities among sectors and sections. In this book, the individual chapters examine the nodes of sustainability of a city and thus essentially present a large canvas wherein all sustainability-relevant issues are interwoven. This integrative approach is at the heart of the book and offers an extensive, innovative framework for future research on cities and sustainability alike. The book also includes selected case studies that add to the reading and comprehension value of the concepts presented, ensuring a blend of theory and practical case studies to help readers better comprehend the principle of sustainability and its application Nota de contenido: Chapter 1. Cities and the Sustainability Dimensions -- Chapter 2. Role of Eco-production in managing energy and environmental sustainability in cities: A lesson from Ulsan metropolis, South Korea -- Chapter 3.

Organización de empresas Resumen: This book is a compilation of case studies from different countries and covers contemporary technologies including electric vehicles and solar thermal power plants. The book highlights the real-world situations facing individual projects and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the underlying business propositions. It also sheds light on the factors that are routinely ignored during project formulation and risk assessment, namely coordination among public and private agencies, confirmed availability of relatively minor but essential components, possibility of concurrent demand for inputs from different project proponents, etc. The book provides a systematic ‘guided tour’ of renewable energy (RE) projects for potential project analysts and includes the development of financial models. It concludes with an evaluation of risk and the design of risk-mitigation measures. It is designed to simultaneously appeal to business school students and to serve as a guide for practicing executives, policy makers and consultants. The cases cover several countries, currencies, policy environments, technologies and resources and will help policy makers, consultants and project analysts and proponents view RE projects in a new light Nota de contenido: Case 1.
