The energy consumption in the built environment represents one of the major contributors of
carbon emissions to the atmosphere. This leads to the need for a transition in the building …

This report was developed by a team of analysts at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
with Argonne National Laboratory contributing the transportation section, and is a DOE …

We evaluate an ambient, bidirectional thermal network, which uses a single circuit for both
district heating and cooling. When in net more cooling is needed than heating, the system …

This paper investigates the techno-economic feasibility of geothermal deep direct-use for
heating, cooling, and thermal energy storage in the United States. The six 2017–2019 deep …

This investigation focuses on the potential of harvesting heat rejected from the cooling and
refrigeration systems of buildings with high year-round cooling and refrigeration demand …

Despite their crucial role in supplying heat and power to universities, industries, and
healthcare facilities, many steam-based district heating systems rely on outdated control …

Recent efforts to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions have resulted
in the development of sustainable, smart districts with highly energy efficient buildings …

There is an urgent need for building energy services that are not only low-carbon but
reliable. District energy systems (DES) have the potential to meet building power, heating …

In recent years, most cities have experienced rapid population growth. Concurrently,
international policies have called for substantial reductions of greenhouse gas emissions …

The global climate is being heavily affected by greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the most
significant of which is carbon dioxide (CO₂). According to the Pan-Canadian framework on …
