“…The seasonality of NGI mainly stems from the seasonality of natural gas consumption, which results from climate factors and energy use policy, as reported elsewhere (e.g., Zhou and Dong [7], Moosa [13], Sailor and Muioz [8], Wang and Wu [10], Wang et al [11], Filippín and Larsen [12]). The seasonality of NGI is also affected by domestic natural gas production capacity, NGI capacity, price sensitivity, and means of transportation.…”

“…Both found that seasonal factors have a significant impact on crude oil price. Filippin and Larsen [12] proved the existence of seasonality of residential natural gas consumption in Argentina, with a maximum value in the cold period July to August. Zhou and Dong [7] examined the potential seasonality of China's monthly and quarterly crude oil import respectively based on X-12-ARIMA, finding that the seasonal factors tend to be positive in spring and summer quarters while negative in fall and winter quarters.…”

Seasonal Imbalances in Natural Gas Imports in Major Northeast Asian Countries: Variations, Reasons, Outlooks and Countermeasures

Abstract:The seasonal imbalances and price premiums of natural gas imports (NGIs) seriously affect the sustainability of these imports in major Northeast Asian countries, namely, China, Japan, and South Korea. Research on NGI seasonality might provide new insights that may help solve these issues. Unfortunately, little research has been conducted on this topic. Therefore, this paper examined the seasonalities of Chinese, Japanese, and South Korean NGIs using the X-12-ARIMA model to analyze monthly and quarterly data. The results suggest that Chinese NGIs lacks identifiable monthly or quarterly seasonality,

“…However, in households provided with natural gas electricity accounted for only 4% of household energy used in Bariloche [1] and 12% in the warmer location of La Plata [17]. Regarding gas, there was a set of recommendations for cooking on low flame, keeping heaters clean, and similar ones, but none on energy efficiency of buildings or conservation measures [18]. So far, energy policies in Argentina were oriented to price regulations and to guarantee the availability of fuels, more than on the efficiency in their use.…”

Energy Subsidies in Argentina Lead to Inequalities and Low Thermal Efficiency

Natural gas is the main energy resource for buildings in Argentina. Since 2002, subsidies have kept the prices of this fuel between 9 and 26 times lower than regular prices in other countries. The lowest prices are the result of climate-related subsidies. In cold areas, heating uses several times more energy than locations in Europe with a similar climate. A potential for consumption reductions of up to 70% suggests a very low building thermal performance. The main barriers to finding a solution are the heavy subsidies and public unawareness. Users, government officials, and construction professionals do not identify the very low thermal efficiency. Energy policies to encourage improvements are proposed.

“…Urban environments account for more than 70% of the total energy consumed by humans despite the fact that cities and towns only occupy 0.4% of the earth's surface (Filippín and Flores Larsen, 2009). Furthermore, cities and urban areas emit 75% of the world's greenhouse gases (Clinton Climate Initiative, 2009).…”

The physical structure of a city frequently defines how people interact with each other and their environment. This paper examines the use of personas as a user-centred design tool for the re-engineering of a city to promote sustainable behaviour and social inclusion of its citizens (the Eight Eyes of Dublin Project). The research was carried out through the adoption of personas and collaboration with design partners to identify barriers to sustainability, and resulted in recommendations for the future development of Dublin city, Ireland. These recommendations are then compared with the draft Dublin development plan 2011–17 to determine the effectiveness of personas as a design tool for identifying key issues for sustainability in the built environment. The results suggest that personas may be an appropriate tool for universal design and may act as a good diagnostic tool in the early stages of the re-engineering of urban areas towards sustainability. It is concluded that personas may work most effectively when used in combination with other user-centred design tools, such as participatory design.
