How to select appropriate measures for reductions in negative environmental impact? Testing a screening method on a regional energy system

“…Finally it was decided to include in analysis as well primary energy sources in order to provide the complete study of the whole regional energy system. Demand side considers energy end users [1,3] that in this study are one of a two core elements located in the centre of the regional energy system. The second element is energy generation sources, in particular e consumers of primary energy sources.…”

“…1. Regional energy system from DSM (demand side management) to primary energyThe concept of DSM (demand side management) is commonly used to manage energy consumption for optimization of available or planned energy generation resources [1]. As outlined by energy planning specialists [2], energy planning on a regional level has been found to be the most appropriate way to promote RES (renewable energy sources) and to reduce the environmental impact of energy systems.…”

Proposal of a structured methodology for the measure of intangible criteria and for decision making

“…From this point of view it is essential making a decision with a systematic approach (Bahurmoz, 2003;Vaidya, 2006). Numerous applications of the MCDM -multi criteria decision making -methods have been made since their development and have been applied to many types of decision problems (Yousefi and Hadi-Vencheh, 2010;Vashishthaa and Ramachandran, 2006;Grimaldi and Rippa, 2011;Pecchia et al, 2013).
