Saussure treated language as a sign-system, and his work in linguistics has supplied the concepts and methods that semioticians apply to sign-systems other than language.
Energy supply concepts for zero energy residential building (ZERB) in Shanghai (humid) and Madrid (dry) are discussed in this paper.
For the economic and ecological assessment of investments in inter-firm energy supply concepts, a five-step methodology based on a simultaneous investment and long-term production model using a mixed-integer optimisation approach has been developed.
Using a generic modern office building with concrete core conditioning as an example, two different supply concepts (one based on a heat pump, one based on a CHP unit) are considered.
The main constraints of this water supply concept are the distinct operational costs related to the provision of energy for the high-pressure pumps (see "Economical assessment and comparison to alternative supply concepts"), wherefore the sustainability was constrained.
She is involved in the implementation of concrete projects for planning and set up of biomass conversion plants and their supply concepts.
One of these supply concepts focuses on the erection of an underground water storage with a concrete barrage in a water-bearing karst cave.
Considering further on a lacking infrastructure, e.g., in remote areas, isolated applications which are operated independently from external energy sources can be advantageous (see "Economical assessment and comparison to alternative supply concepts").
It seems debatable whether biogas plants in the lower capacity range can be integrated into the balancing power market or should rather be part of energy supply concepts on a local level.
Due to the fact that cost intensive external energy (diesel fuel or electrical energy) is not needed, this facility can cost-efficiently be operated 24/7 (see "Economical assessment and comparison to alternative supply concepts").
