Chapter 1General Introduction

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 1 –11

[This chapter of this research book provides the general introduction for the book by describing the background issues surrounding the modelling and simulation of energy consumption and carbon emissions, especially in the housing sector of the economy. The purpose and objectives of this research...

Chapter 2Energy and Carbon Emissions in Housing

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 13 –49

[In this chapter, issues relating to energy and carbon emissions in housing are discussed. The chapter starts by discussing issues of energy consumption in housing. This is followed by the energy policy and emissions targets issues. Following on, the chapter discusses the trends in housing energy...

Chapter 3The Sociotechnical Systems of Energy and Carbon Emissions in Housing

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 51 –75

[This chapter identifies the most suitable modelling approach to conceptualise the complex sociotechnical systems of housing energy consumption and carbon emissions. Before the review of literature for modelling techniques of STS, the chapter reviews literature on the systems-based approach of...

Chapter 4The System Dynamics Modelling Method

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 77 –95

[The system dynamics (SD) approach was used as both the methodology and tool for modelling and simulation in this book. This chapter first gives an historical overview of SD by describing how the SD approach came into being. Following on, the chapter discusses how the SD approach is grounded both...

Chapter 5System Dynamics Application to Housing Energy and Carbon Emissions in the UK

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 97 –138

[The system dynamics approach has been previously used to model and simulate energy and carbon emission policy issues. As such, this chapter discusses the application of the system dynamics method to model housing energy and carbon emissions with particular reference to the UK housing sector. The...

Chapter 6Simulation of Energy and Carbon Emissions in Housing

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 139 –188

[This chapter presents the results of simulation performed for the model in this book. The simulation was based on the ‘baseline’ scenario as described in this chapter. The ‘baseline’ scenario conveys the way energy and carbon emission of the UK housing sector will evolve from the year 1970 to...

Chapter 7Policy Analysis

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 189 –219

[This chapter describes and discusses some policy scenarios formulated in order to illustrate the use of the model in this book. The illustrative scenarios developed demonstrate how the energy consumption and carbon emissions attributable to the UK housing stock would evolve over the years under...

Chapter 8Conclusions and Reflections

Oladokun, Michael Gbolagade; Aigbavboa, Clinton Ohis

Pages: 221 –225

[This chapter serves as the reflective summary of the research presented within this research book as it brings together the conclusions emanating from the insights generated by the simulation(s?) run in this book. The chapter demonstrates the value of the book for practice. This research effort...
