A framework for modelling decarbonisation: perspectives from engineering and economics.

Many engineering-based models exist that aim to measure the energy consumption, efficiency and carbon emissions from the built environment. These models take physical approach to quantify energy consumption based on real-world physical limits. Likewise, there are a number models based on consumer demand theory which attempt to predict how households make decisions about energy demand. In order to build an accurate picture for how energy, comfort and appliance choice will affect the decarbonisation of the built environment a multidisciplinary approach is required that considers both the physical environment and the human-centric economic environment. This talk will give recent experiences in modelling the decarbonisation of the built environment.
