Energy storage for updating of a new building represents an opportunity to estimate the costs that this issue should be considered in efficient buildings. Most old buildings have a lot of energy dissipations due to inappropriate control system and building components. According to the...

The potential of rooftop solar power has been identified as a main driver of clean energy adoption in an urban environment. While residential solar projects have lower capacity than commercial systems, residential solar represents most of the installation base for rooftop solar projects. Rooftop...

This paper provides an empirical investigation of the agency relationship between the public sector and small firms targeted for assistance by examining micro and macro data for a cross section of eligible women business enterprises (WBEs).

We quantify, for the first time, the impact of different prices on the quantity used of disposable plastic bags over a one-year post-treatment period, with respect to a one-year pre-treatment period of no regulation. Our outcome variable is the number of single-use plastic bags used by customers...

Residential solar panels in the United States (U.S.) are inefficiently distributed in terms of optimizing solar-electrical production. Controlling for local solar electricity generation potential (insolation), the residential solar share of electrical consumption is relatively higher in cloudier...

Energy from fossil fuels have become dominant in the industrialised and industrialising economies of the world. However, fossil fuels are also recognised as heavily polluting and responsible for a range of modern environmental and health problems. Nuclear power is a similar conventional energy...
