“…The weight coefficient vector was determined from the set of weights because the process of uncertainty randomisation was performed [31]. The quality assessment of the examined energy options by the GIS depends on giving priority to a certain weight (for the different cases and constraints) [28]. The cases were selected, compared and modelled according to the demands and needs of end users (Public Utility Company in this case).…”

“…Second bottom up energy demand model tested on Croatia as a case study was MAED-D. Here the model was less user friendly and required detailed and specific input data which could be difficult to obtain [22,23]. Additional disadvantage of MAED-D was its inability to modify model structure which could be very interesting and useful in some cases.…”

a b s t r a c tIn the light of European energy-climate package and its measures for increasing security of supply, decreasing the impact on environment and stimulating sustainability, Croatia as a new EU (European Union) member state needs to reconsider and develop new energy policy towards energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. Croatian long-term energy demand and its effect on the future national GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions are analysed in this paper. For that purpose the NeD model was constructed (National energy demand model). The model is comprised out of six modules, each representing one sector: industry, transport, households, services, agriculture and construction. The model is based on bottom up approach. The analysis has shown that energy policy measures, identified through this paper, can potentially achieve energy savings up to 157 PJ in the year 2050, which presents a 40% decrease to referent (frozen efficiency) scenario. Results obtained in this paper were also compared to the Croatian National Energy Strategy for the years 2020 and 2030. It was shown that if already implemented policies were properly taken into account the actual final energy demand for the year 2030 would be 43% lower than projected by the Croatian National Energy Strategy.

“…Urban infrastructure sustainability has transformed from above traditional three dimensions to the following four dimensions: demand dimension [71], status dimension [72,73], in uence dimension [74,75], and resource dimension [76][77][78]. Urban infrastructure resilience is mainly assessed from measure dimension, which re ects that urban infrastructure can quickly recover to normal status by technical, economic, and management measures after the occurrence of unexpected situations [8,35,79].…”

“…e assessment indexes of resource dimension, which were developed based on previous research on resource efficiency of urban infrastructure, include three main categories, that is, material, energy, and water. In the construction phase, sustainable infrastructure should efficiently use all materials to reduce the "embodied energy," which is consumed in the process of material production and transportation [76]. In the operation phase, sustainable infrastructure should minimize the overall energy consumption and consider the efficient use of multiple energy sources [77].…”

e concepts of sustainability and resilience have become very popular in the field of urban infrastructure. is paper reviews previous research on sustainability and resilience of urban infrastructure. e concepts of urban infrastructure's sustainability and resilience are compared from the perspectives of dimensions, properties, goals, and methodologies. e paper systematically assesses the sustainability and resilience of urban infrastructure by using the concept of the grade point average (GPA). e GPA of urban infrastructure's sustainability and resilience (urban infrastructure SR-GPA) is proposed as a unified concept. e assessment index system of urban infrastructure SR-GPA is constructed from five dimensions including demand, status, influence, resource, and measure. e analytic network process (ANP) is used to assess urban infrastructure SR-GPA considering the interaction between the indexes. e ANP structure model of urban infrastructure SR-GPA is established based on the assessment method and index system. e Harbin subway SR-GPA is selected as an empirical study to test the applicability of the proposed assessment method. e results show that the assessment indexes have different impacts on urban infrastructure SR-GPA. e Harbin subway SR-GPA is in a low level and can be upgraded through increasing construction investment, allocating resources efficiently, and considering resilience in the whole life cycle.
