Assessments and indicators of the health effects of long-term exposure to PM2.5, such as the GBD assessment, the World Health Organization (WHO) assessment (http://www.who.int/gho/phe/outdoor_air_pollution/burden/en/) and the Environmental Performance Index (http://epi.yale.edu), rely on an accurate representation of both magnitude and spatial distribution of PM2.5.
This concept is taken as a normative basis to provide a first orientation regarding energy technologies and to derive guiding principles which can be used to develop assessment criteria and indicators ("Sustainability principles for energy technology assessment" section).
Based on the above analysis, an assessment framework and indicators system was constructed.
Furthermore, the assessment methodologies and indicators for social, economic and environmental factors are also provided.
The following paper presents a discussion of short- and long-term energy security assessment methods and indicators.
It identifies 15 evaluation studies that are representative of a range of adult literacy contexts at various evaluation levels; and reviews each study regarding evaluation designs, data sources, learner assessment tools, and indicators of program effectiveness.
This paper sets out to review the-state-of-the-art literature on integrated PV shading devices and their application to highly and fully glazed façades with an aim to investigate the influential factors, parameters and strategies as well as assessment methods and indicators for measuring energy performance of buildings where such technologies are used, by means of systems theory approach.
This also holds true for specific assessments and indicator development.
