Towards sustainable urban living: A holistic energy strategy for electric vehicle and heat pump adoption in residential communities (2024)
Journal Article
Dik, A., Kutlu, C., Sun, H., Calautit, J. K., Boukhanouf, R., & Omer, S. (2024). Towards sustainable urban living: A holistic energy strategy for electric vehicle and heat pump adoption in residential communities. Sustainable Cities and Society, 107, Article 105412. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2024.105412

Electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps (HPs) are key in reducing carbon emissions from transportation and domestic heating, yet their adoption may increase peak load demands on electrical networks. One of the aims of this research is to assess the po...
