“…Jovanovic et al [37] examined a district heating application in Serbia with regards to using a blend of technology choices including biomass with either solar or natural gas for hot water provision. The analysis focused on five technologies and compared against a complex set of sub-criteria in a multi-criteria analysis.…”

“…The most common combined application was technology selection combined with sustainability. For instance Afgan and Carvalho [15], Buchholz [26] and Jovanovic [37] all used the measurement of some sustainability impact or index to compare different technology alternatives against. This allows the most sustainable or least unsustainable technology to be selected.…”

Bioenergy schemes are multi-faceted and complex by nature, with many available raw material supplies and technical options and a diverse set of stakeholders holding a raft of conflicting opinions. To develop and operate a successful scheme there are many requirements that should be considered and satisfied. This paper provides a review of those academic works attempting to deal with problems arising within the bioenergy sector using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. These methods are particularly suitable to bioenergy given its multifaceted nature but could be equally relevant to other energy conversion technologies. Related articles appearing in the international journals from 2000 to 2010 are gathered and analysed so that the following two questions can be answered. (i) Which methods are the most popular? (ii) Which problems attract the most attention? The review finds that optimization methods are most popular with methods choosing between few alternatives being used in 44% of reviewed papers and methods choosing between many alternatives being used in 28%. The most popular application area was to technology selection with 27% of reviewed papers followed by policy decisions with 18%.

“…Gas tankless water heaters (GTWH) are sold in large numbers in many countries and are seen as an efficient means of producing domestic hot water with a far smaller carbon footprint than either gas storage water heaters with uninsulated central flues, or electric storage water heaters powered by thermally generated electricity [9][10][11][12][13][14]. The significant proportion of energy used for domestic water heating has led many countries to regulate the efficiency of these water heaters through consumer information and labelling schemes [15][16][17][18] or minimum performance requirements [19][20][21][22][23].…”

“…Li et al [5] showed the improvement of geothermal system efficiency by substituting oil boilers with geothermal water. Besides, an assessment of hot water production in heating plant in Belgrade (Serbia) was presented by Jovanovic et al [6]. They studied the importance of multi-criteria analysis to evaluate the sustainability of combined systems for obtaining thermal energy and hot water.…”

Energy saving is a significant feature to take in account in the choice of renewable energy technologies to use. This paper techno-economically investigates an excess heat recovery system that is proposed to be installed in a thermal cure center geothermal source for producing domestic hot water to be conveyed through piping to a nearby three star hotel located in Antsirabe Madagascar. For that purpose, the hotel hot water needs were determined by using an available online free code, called Solo, and the effectiveness-NTU method was used to size the plate heat exchanger to be used to recover the geothermal heat. The proposed hybrid geothermal solution performance was compared with that of hybrid solar energy water-heaters in terms of electricity consumption related to water temperature adjustment. It follows from comparison results that the proposed hybrid geothermal solution is more profitable and allows about 73.2 (%) of electric energy saving while it is 54.9 (%) for hybrid solar option. Besides, economic evaluation confirmed that the geothermal installation allows a shorter return on investment more favorably.Keywords: Heat recovery system, geothermal energy, heat exchanger, energy savings, domestic hot water production.Recent investigations tended to assess domestic hot water and energy production by using geothermal
