The optimal design of supply chain networks is often examined based on one or more economic or other criteria (e.g., cost, profit environmental impact, danger, time). However, the efficiency of the derived solutions is often ignored. In this work, a recursive DEA (RDEA) algorithm is presented,...

This paper presents a comprehensive unified model for planning the retrofit of power plants with carbon capture (CC) technologies and the subsequent carbon dioxide (CO2) source-sink matching. The planning horizon is divided into time intervals that are not necessarily of equal duration, but...

As mandated by several directives issued by the European Union, starting from 2020, new buildings must be designed and constructed as low-energy buildings. This situation is to be achieved mostly by an installation of renewable energy technologies, storage systems, and improved insulations. As a...
