- Abstract:
- ... Photovoltaic (PV) power is emission-free during operation. However, its life-cycle environmental impacts should be accounted for during the design phase. This paper presents the first methodology to calculate the product environmental footprint (PEF) and the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) based on a unified technical modeling framework of ground-mounted, grid-connected PV power plants. To te ...

In the context of the take-back legislation and the consumer preference for green product design, we construct a single-period stylized model of the manufacturer with the goal of profit maximization. The manufacturer’s optimal green product design, production, and recycling strategies are determined under the requirement of the mandated targets (including collection and recycling rates). We especi ...

- Abstract:
- ... The development of real estate in Mexico has largely ruled out the comfort of users that focused on economic matters and made it difficult to make substantial progress in adopting measures to improve indoor environmental quality. Current research projects in Mexico found that roof construction in low-cost housing struggles to meet the requirements of indoor comfort. Passive cooling strategies are ...
