Adoptions of prefabrication in residential sector in China: agent-based policy option exploration

“…Some scholars have combined the ABM, Game Theory and Regret Theory for technology product diffusion research (Minjie and Zhaoguang, 2011). ABM can also be used to study and compare different development scenarios and evaluate energy policies (Du et al, 2022;Kangur et al, 2017).…”

Application of M-SWARA and TOPSIS Methods in the Evaluation of Investment Alternatives of Microgeneration Energy Technologies

“…In the literature, there are different views regarding this issue. For instance, Schulte et al [43], Judson and Zirakbash [3], and Du et al [37] identified that small-scale solar microgeneration systems should be considered for the effectiveness of these projects. Furthermore, researchers underlined the importance of other renewable energy alternatives for microgeneration projects, such as small-scale wind turbines [44] and micro hydroelectric powers [45].…”

Strategic drivers for the deployment of energy economics principles in the developing construction industry: A Nigerian perspective

“…This financial gain over time makes energy-efficient construction an attractive option. 11,13 Also, Olopade 14 highlights that cost-effectiveness is closely linked to economic growth and job creation because the adoption of energyefficient construction practices can stimulate economic growth by generating demand for skilled labor and creating opportunities for specialized training programs. 14 The author also stresses that the availability of skilled labor is crucial for implementing energy-efficient systems and technologies, further reinforcing the cost-effectiveness of EEPs.…”

“…Practices such as utilizing recycled materials, adopting efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and optimizing water management help minimize resource consumption and waste generation. 13 By integrating resource efficiency into EEPs, the construction industry can achieve sustainable and efficient energy practices while reducing their energy demands in buildings. This not only conserves energy resources but also decreases greenhouse gas emissions and the overall carbon footprint of the built environment.…”
