Thus, by assigning new responsibilities to residents and local communities, community energy initiatives can contribute to the efficient generation and distribution of energy and promote climate goals. Against this background, the present work aims to provide a unified and synthesised overview of the current state of knowledge concerning the determinants of citizens’ involvement in community energy initiatives either through volunteering in specific activities, investing, or participating in managerial positions. The determinants of citizens’ involvement in community energy initiatives were classified into attitudinal factors (environmental concerns, energy-related motives, perceived innovation adoption), contextual factors (return of investment, social recognition, interpersonal trust, spatial factors, institutional framework, policies, benefits, and barriers), and personal capabilities (demographic and socioeconomic characteristics). The findings will facilitate decision-makers and policymakers to design successful and suitable support policies, promoting active involvement and community-level investment.","PeriodicalId":14406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"1836 - 1848"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45500995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a certification is required for a building or a site, various certification systems are employed. To meet the demand, the Turkish Green Building Council released an evaluation system called B.E.S.T. in 2013. In this paper, the B.E.S.T. evaluation system is introduced as well as a sample application. The evaluation of the Yalova University Engineering Faculty Building using the B.E.S.T. evaluation system is presented. Field research was conducted and evidentiary documents were gathered in preparation. The study employed both analytical and field research methodologies in this regard. As a result of the study, Yalova University Engineering Faculty Building was assessed to be eligible for the lowest level certificate, the ‘Approved’ degree of the B.E.S.T. evaluation system. Furthermore, the results achieved with the B.E.S.T. were compared to those acquired previously with other green or sustainable building evaluation systems. HIGHLIGHTS - An exemplary set of the evaluation was performed for university campus buildings with the B.E.S.T. certification system. - The conducted case study is one of the earliest samples of B.E.S.T. evaluations. - A comparison of B.E.S.T. with LEED and BREAM is provided. - The importance of establishing a local certification system has been discussed.","PeriodicalId":14406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"1759 - 1777"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41464634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparing different approaches to stimulating sectors’ development in both countries, the article evaluates the economic efficiency of solar power plants implementation based on the Levelized Cost of Electricity method and investment projects payback periods. The calculations were performed for solar power plants installed capacities ranging from 1 to 30 kW. The results revealed the fundamental differences in solar energy advancement due to the existing support mechanisms in the countries. While high feed-in tariff rates contribute to the rapid deployment of solar power plants in Ukraine’s, Latvia’s net-metering system hinders solar energy development in households. The research forms recommendations for improving policy by adjusting Ukrainian feed-in tariffs to trends in reducing solar energy costs, introducing solar energy in the Mandatory Procurement Component for Latvia, and applying preferential public financing to solar power plants construction in both states.

This sectoral level examination is intended to find new evidence for the dependence of economic growth on the electricity sector in India. Using annual data of per capita real GDP and sectoral level consumption of electricity from 1971 to 2019, the combined co-integration test and Frequency domain causality approaches are employed. The estimated results show the negative impact of agricultural sector electricity consumption on growth, whereas both the Industrial and service sector enhances the production. In addition, the results of the Frequency domain causality approach support the Growth hypothesis for the study period in India, as Uni-directional causality from three sectors to economic growth were found at least in a frequency of short run to medium run. The sustainability of the growth-enhancing role of electricity consumption will depend on more sector-specific energy policies and public spending on energy infrastructure development than bland subsidies.","PeriodicalId":14406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"1721 - 1738"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43988438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Improvements in the performance of conventional technologies as well as the emergence of cost effective alternatives facilitated its establishment as a major contributor towards the adoption of a green power production model. Nevertheless, photovoltaics still suffer from efficiency issues, mainly related to performance dependency upon operating temperature. For perovskite cells, it is also crucial to maintain temperature below a defined threshold to avoid premature degradation. Photovoltaic-thermoelectric hybridization has been recently proposed as a means of restricting excessive temperature increase, reducing recombination and improving the overall efficiency response. In this work, the performance of a hybrid photovoltaic-Peltier system is examined through an analytical modelling approach. Different thermoelectric coolers (TECs) and PV cell types have been studied. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis has been conducted in order to identify the most critical parameters for obtaining optimum coupling between PV and TEC technologies.","PeriodicalId":14406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"1667 - 1693"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44432964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Celdek pad 7090 is used as humidifying media, and water is used as a working substance. Experiments are performed by varying the water flow rate (WFR), air velocity (AV) and rotational packing speed. Performance parameters such as a difference in dry bulb temperature (DBT), difference in relative humidity (RH), saturation efficiency, coefficient of performance (COP) and evaporation rate (ER) are evaluated. Results showed that a water flow rate of 0.6 litres per minute (L/min), rotor speed of 150 rpm and air flow rate of 5 m/s gave the maximum performance. The current unit gave a maximum cooling efficiency, COP and ER equal to 79.23%, 5.24 and 0.90 g/s, respectively. Stationary and dynamic packing conditions are assessed where it is observed that the performance of dynamic packing is higher than that of the static case at all operating ranges. Celdek packing with dynamic conditions can be suitably applied to handle huge cooling loads, which encourages sustainable energy sources and reduces environmental pollution by limiting greenhouse gas emissions.","PeriodicalId":14406,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Energy","volume":"41 1","pages":"1650 - 1666"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41835162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
