Influence of energy demand response actions on thermal comfort and energy cost in electrically heated residential houses (2015)
Journal Article
Alimohammadisagvand, B., Alam, S., Ali, M., Degefa, M., Jokisalo, J., & Sirén, K. (2017). Influence of energy demand response actions on thermal comfort and energy cost in electrically heated residential houses. Indoor and Built Environment, 26(3), 298-3

This study has two aims to investigate the energy demand response (DR) actions on thermal comfort and energy cost in detached residential houses (1960, 2010 and passive) in a cold climate. The first one is to find out the acceptable range of indoor a...

Chinese consumer attitudes and barriers towards green energy (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alimohammadisagvand, B., Hast, A., Syri, S., Cao, G., & Xiang, Z. (2014, January). Chinese consumer attitudes and barriers towards green energy. Paper presented at International Sustainable Built Environment Conference (ISBE 2014), Doha, Qatar

China’s energy consumption has more than doubled in less than 10 years and China is now the world’s greatest consumer of energy. China produced 1/5 of the world’s total electricity by 2010, and 60% of energy is generated by coal. Therefore, China alo...
