Selecting sustainability indicators for urban energy systems
Literature on the measurement of urban sustainability shows that no single indicator framework is appropriate for all applications. Consequently practitioners must consider the intended goals of indicator use and carefully choose metrics to maximize their relevance and effectiveness. The study of urban energy systems demonstrates these issues, as energy use is integral to many dimensions of urb...
متن کاملSustainability Indicators for Energy Systems to Enhance Decision Making Processes
1. Abstract The energy sector plays a key role within the concept of Sustainable Development. However, there is consensus that today’s energy system is not sustainable. A transformation towards more efficient structures as well as a shift to renewable sources is needed. To get on the right track, sustainability aspects should be addressed within the scope of technology assessments. This applies...
متن کاملEnergy landscapes and urban trajectories towards sustainability
An urban energy transition is needed to address the two global environmental challenges of urbanisation and increasing carbon emissions. Urban energy landscapes represent the spatial patterns of urban energy systems which are visible in the built environment. Spatial regularities in the way systems of energy provision and use are organised are manifest in urban energy landscapes. Energy uses ma...
متن کاملSurvey of Transport-related Energy Sustainability of Major Canadian Urban Areas
The rapid development of urban ‘sprawl’ surrounding many North American cities has many potentially detrimental effects including enhanced energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from increasing private vehicle use. Over the past 5 years in Canada a number of studies have been undertaken to address transportation-related energy consumption with the view to formulating relevant policies ...
