An Investigation into the Provision of Energy Services and Energy Efficiency

我的研究将在能源效率的EPSRC研究领域。将特别重视能源服务的量化和评估，并研究通过沿着能源链（从初级能源、最后能源到有用能源和能源服务链的最后一环）的技术装置提供能源服务的情况。我将考虑社会对能源服务的需求可能如何变化，以及这种需求的主要驱动力是什么。我也将学习“被动系统”（建筑物，车辆等）。其将有用的能量转换成能量服务（热舒适、运输、照明）。这将使人们更深入地了解温室气体排放可能如何改变被动系统中对能源和能源效率改进的需求。

My research will be in the EPSRC research area of Energy Efficiency. Particular importance will be placed upon the quantification and assessment of energy services and studying their provision by technical devices along the energy chain (from primary energy, final energy to useful energy and the final link in the chain which is the energy service). I will consider how societies demand for energy services is likely to change and what the main drivers for this demand are. I will also be studying 'passive systems' (buildings, vehicles etc.) which convert useful energy into energy services (thermal comfort, transport, illumination). This will give greater insight into how Greenhouse Gas emissions are likely to change due demand for energy and energy efficiency improvements in passive systems.
