“…From Figure 7, it is seen that there are households which avail of multiple sources of space and water heating. This observation is similar to the one made in Al Qadi et al (2018) for Hebron, but the difference is that in Hebron, the multiplicity is a hedge against electricity blackoutswith electric heaters being the dominant mode of space heatingand the risk of running out of certain types of fuels owing to poor infrastructure. It is also worth mentioning, en passant, here that the sample size and the modal shares of the responses received, for the survey carried out for this paper by the authors, are quite similar to those in Al Qadi et al (2018) Matos et al (2018), and for that matter, the sample subsets from each of the European countries studied in Thøgersen (2018).…”

Households account for varying shares of total energy usage in countries, depending on the degree of industrialization. In order to design effective policy instruments and set appropriate levels for subsidies, knowing the attitudes and perceptions of users with respect to energy usage and energy saving is always the first step. In this article, the authors have first presented a comparative analysis and critique of selected recently-published surveys (2018) related to energy use in households, from around the world, before applying the sustainability-thinking paradigm to their own regional survey of close to 300 single-family households (detached houses and row houses) carried out in Karlstad (south-central Sweden), to obtain insights into user attitudes and preferences – categorised into the three dimensions of sustainability – when it comes to energy usage or decision-making with regard to retrofits or new energy-using / energy-saving installations in households. Each of the dimensions is characterised by three criteria which respondents have rated on a Likert’s scale of 0 to 4 (not important to very important). The findings from this survey will open up a new way of thinking about the heterogeniety of energy users (which needs to be respected), for decision-makers and energy-advisers, who could subsquently strengthen their interaction and communication with them.

“…To aid Palestine's transition to more self-sufficient and sustainable energy technology, present energy use must first be assessed and improved [41]. Because many buildings may last for over a century, making them more energy efficient is essential for reducing carbon emissions and achieving a long-term energy plan.…”

Towards Sustainable Energy Retrofitting, a Simulation for Potential Energy Use Reduction in Residential Buildings in Palestine

Since buildings are one of the major contributors to global warming, efforts should be intensified to make them more energy-efficient, particularly existing buildings. This research intends to analyze the energy savings from a suggested retrofitting program using energy simulation for typical existing residential buildings. For the assessment of the energy retrofitting program using computer simulation, the most commonly utilized residential building types were selected. The energy consumption of those selected residential buildings was assessed, and a baseline for evaluating energy retrofitting was established. Three levels of retrofitting programs were implemented. These levels were ordered by cost, with the first level being the least costly and the third level is the most expensive. The simulation models were created for two different types of buildings in three different climatic zones in Palestine. The findings suggest that water heating, space heating, space cooling, and electric lighting are the highest energy consumers in ordinary houses. Level one measures resulted in a 19–24 percent decrease in energy consumption due to reduced heating and cooling loads. The use of a combination of levels one and two resulted in a decrease of energy consumption for heating, cooling, and lighting by 50–57%. The use of the three levels resulted in a decrease of 71–80% in total energy usage for heating, cooling, lighting, water heating, and air conditioning.

Energi merupakan komponen terpenting dalam rangka pembangunan suatu bangsa. Tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa energi adalah penggerak aktivitas ekonomi dan sosial. Energi yang umumnya dipakai oleh negara di dunia adalah bahan bakar fosil baik dalam bentuk minyak maupun gas dan batu bara. Dewasa ini ketersediaan bahan bakar fosil terus menyusut, sementara kebutuhannya terus meningkat seiring dengan meningkatnya aktivitas sosial dan ekonomi. Tantangan terbesar kedepan adalah inovasi energi yang dapat menggantikan peran bahan bakar fosil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemberdayaan dan menyusun strategi pelaksanaan program Desa Mandiri Energi di desa Haurngombong. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah metode kualitatif dengan melakukan studi kasus melalui observasi dan wawancara mendalam pada masyarakat. Selain itu, dalam penelitian ini juga dilakukan analisis SWOT untuk menemukan strategi pelaksanaan program Desa Mandiri Energi di desa Haurngombong. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa energi alternatif yang diproduksi oleh masyarakat desa Haurngombong adalah biogas dari kotoran ternak sapi yang dikembangkan dengan melalui pemberdayaan masyarakat khususnya peternak sapi. Jenis konstruksi biogas yang dikembangkan adalah plastik, fiber, dan beton. Pembuatan biogas ini dipelopori oleh seorang peternak, pemanfaatan biogas hingga saat ini digunakan untuk biogas dan listrik. Untuk memastikan keberlanjutan produksi biogas ini diperlukan adanya ketersediaan bahan baku (kotoran sapi), peningkatkan mutu biogas, serta upaya pengembangan teknologi instalasi biogas, upaya penguatan anggota peternak dengan kelompok, upaya peningkatkan kerjasama dengan pihak luar program, upaya peningkatkan manajemen usaha ternak, upaya pemasyarakatkan biogas sebagai energi alternatif dan menjalin kerjasama jasa kredit perbankan guna pengembangan program. Namun demikian perlu adanya antisipasi kelemahan program yang telah berlangsung dengan optimalisasi jangkauan instalasi biogas, dan pemberian modal instalasi genset biogas.
