Economic Assessment of Wind Energy with Emphasis on instruments and Channels for Financing, Case Study: Kerman Province.

Todays, attention to renewable energies and decrease the use of fossil fuels is priority for countries. With the help of economics criteria, studied Economic evaluation of projects and then several financing scenarios are reviewed for these projects based on levelising the cost. In economic evaluation, both wind projects were economical, and based on the four scenarios in this study that includ...

Financing Green Urban Infrastructure

This paper presents an overview of practices and challenges related to financing green sustainable cities. Cities are essential actors in stimulating green infrastructure; and urban finance is one of the promising ways in which this can be achieved. Cities are key investors in infrastructure with green potential, such as buildings, transport, water and waste. Their main revenue sources, such as...

Evaluation of Energy Savings for Buildings with Green Roofs Having Different Vegetation

Thermal benefits of different green roof samples were analyzed and compared. Experimental data from ongoing green roof projects was used in a theoretical analysis of air-conditioning energy savings with different green roof applications. Thermal data was collected from a typical non-reflective (EPDM) roof membrane and model green roof systems with three types of growth media (lava, arkalyte, an...

Thermal assessment of extensive green roofs as passive tool for energy savings in buildings

Sustainability trends for buildings require new construction systems to foster energy efficiency and environmentally friendly buildings. Green roofs are interesting construction systems because they provide both aesthetic and environmental benefits. This paper continues a long-term research in order to evaluate and improve the thermal behaviour and sustainability of extensive green roofs. Simul...
