Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Packed with useful information, this is an essential resource for anyone thinking of setting up and running a community energy project. 'Community energy' is often seen as simply groups of people setting up wind turbines or hydroelectric schemes, yet there's actually a lot more going on in the range of activities that community energy groups are involved in, and the impact these have. Community Energy provides an overview of the role of community renewable energy projects in the UK, examining the history of community renewable projects and the different types of project that have been successful and unsuccessful. An engaging and informative guide, it covers an introduction to renewable energy projects, information on why they matter and ways to get involved, and different scales and types of project. It also includes case studies and financial and legal tips on how to generate income from the project, as well as guidance on policy and planning permission. Community Energy is a handy resource for anyone thinking of embarking on a community renewables project as well being a useful source of information for people in the renewables industry and policy makers at all levels of government.

Download or read book Innovations in Home Energy Use written by BRIAN G. SOUTHWELL and published by RTI Press. This book was released on 2016-01-03 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a collection of essays that explore innovations to encourage reduction in homeowner energy use, this volume reflects a confluence of ideas and initiatives rather than a narrow look at what a single, particular line of academic literature suggests might be possible to shape homeowner behavior. Not only do the contributors represent a wide array of institutions and backgrounds, but the very intellectual infrastructure that encouraged and allowed the summit that inspired this book itself represents a conscious effort to facilitate multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration for the purpose of addressing salient societal concerns. With this volume, we hope to provide a source of ideas for behavior change that will appeal to a range of people charged with curbing residential energy use through communication-based intervention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically introduces readers to the operator method, which can be used in different stages of urban planning. Energy planning should ideally be accompanied by urban planning, ranging from comprehensive planning and detailed planning, to the design of individual construction projects. This book discusses a range of methods and models for defining energy planning objectives; analyzing and predicting energy demand; assessing available energy resources; optimizing integrated energy systems; analyzing the cost-effectiveness of proposals; implementation management; and post-assessment. Part one focuses on energy planning in different urban planning stages, while part two provides detailed discussions of key issues related to energy planning.

Download or read book Community Energy in Germany written by Jörg Radtke and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ground-breaking book, Jörg Radtke offers for the first time within research, a comprehensive insight into the range of organizational structures of community energy projects in Germany and their contribution to the Energiewende. Based on nationwide quantitative survey data and in-depth analyses of selected case studies of solar, wind and geothermal projects, Radtke documents the social structure and motivations of participating citizens. He examines new forms of material participation, community building and co-determination within the mostly volunteer-led community energy projects based on the civic engagement patterns of active “green citizens”. The author identifies a new form of individualistic participation and collective modes of action in line with new types of project-oriented participation between business, politics and civil society within sustainability transformation processes of the early 21st century.
Download or read book Sharing the Costs and Benefits of Energy and Resource Activity written by Lila Barrera-Hernández and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new phase is emerging in the relationship between energy and resource activities and the communities that are affected by them. Any energy or resource project - a mine, a wind farm, a dam for hydroelectricity, or a shale gas development - will involve a mix of impacts and benefits for communities. For many years, the law has mediated impacts on communities and provided for the distribution of financial benefits. Now, there is growing awareness of the need to consider not only a wider range of costs and benefits for communities from energy and resource projects, but also the effects on communities at multiple scales and in complex ways. Sharing the costs and benefits of natural resource activity has now become a legal requirement for energy and resource projects operating in many jurisdictions, particularly in developing countries. This book uses cases studies from across the globe to examine the emergence of such legal measures, their advantages and disadvantages, and the improvements that may be feasible in the legal frameworks used to distribute the costs and benefits of energy and resources activity. The book has three parts: Part I considers general legal and conceptual frameworks; Part II addresses the mechanisms available to distribute costs and benefits; and Part III considers the role of public engagement and participation in the sharing of the costs and benefits from energy and resource projects.

This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community energy projects give their own answers to the challenges of energy system change: They are social innovations. By building new relations between local economies, communities and technical infrastructures, these projects not only change the energy system but also respective power structures. Drawing on case studies from Germany, Denmark and Scotland, this book shows the importance of community ties, and shared symbols for successful processes of transformation and develops recommendations for policy decision-makers.
