Considering only first-order effects? How simplifications lead to unrealistic technology optimism in climate change mitigation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)This article challenges the notion that energy efficiency and ‘clean’ energy technologies can deliver sufficient degrees of climate change mitigation. By six arguments not widely recognized in the climate policy arena, we ... -
Environmental and economic performance of heating systems for energy-efficient dwellings: case of passive and low-energy single-family houses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)In order to reduce the energy consumption of the building stock, a major trend is to drastically reduce the space-heating (SH) needs by improving the thermal performance of the envelope. In general, this measure is combined ... -
Large potentials for energy saving and greenhouse gas emission reductions from large-scale deployment of zero emission building technologies in a national building stock
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High energy and material demand in the building sector causes large greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This sector needs large-scale technological improvements in the transition to a future low-emission society. Extensive ... -
More caution is needed when using life cycle assessment to determine energy return on investment (EROI)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Cumulative energy demand (CED) estimates from life cycle assessments (LCAs) are increasingly used to determine energy return on investment (EROI), but the difference in indicators can lead to a misclassification of energy ...
