Rethinking the measurement of energy poverty in Europe: A critical analysis of indicators and data

Harriet Thomson, Stefan Bouzarovski, Carolyn Snell · 20 Mar 2017

Energy poverty - which has also been recognised via terms such as 'fuel poverty' and 'energy vulnerability' - occurs when a household experiences inadequate levels of energy services in the home. Measuring energy poverty is challenging, as it is a culturally sensitive and private condition, which is temporally and spatially dynamic. This is compounded by…

Energy poverty indicators: A critical review of methods

Sergio Tirado Herrero · 1 Aug 2017

The widespread recognition of energy poverty as a distinct societal and policy challenge in the EU has resulted in a surge in the number and complexity of energy poverty metrics. Drawing from the body of white and grey literature on domestic energy deprivation indicators now available, the paper offers a review-based discussion on the risks…

Dust Storms in the Middle East: Sources of Origin and Their Temporal Characteristics

H. Kutiel · 1 Dec 2003

The spatial and temporal characteristics of dust storms in the Middle East were studied by an analysis of the visibility reduction in that region. Eight ‘three-hours’ mean values for each month for a period of 21 years (1973–1993) were used. Data were subjected to cluster analysis of their temporal behaviour. Four main regions were identified…

It has also been implicated in nosocomial outbreaks of MRSA, Acinetobacter spp. and Pseudomonas spp. Despite this there is much scepticism about the role that airborne transmission plays in nosocomial outbreaks. This paper investigates the airborne spread of…

Building Pathology, Investigation of Sick Buildings — VOC Emissions

Chuck Wah Yu, Jeong Tai Kim · 1 Feb 2010

The design and management of the indoor environments of buildings should foster ‘‘health and wellbeing’’. Buildings affect the health of occupants in many ways, for example, through building related illnesses, sick building syndrome and allergy, and environmental health problems. The principal causes of sick buildings in the majority of cases are related to microbial effects…
