Heterogeneous Panel

The aim of the paper is to examine the long-term relationship between economic complexity, energy consumption structure, and greenhouse gas emission, within a panel of European Union countries and two subpanels: (i) European economies with higher economic complexity and (ii) European economies with a lower level of economic complexity. Taking into consideration the heterogeneity among European countries, the heterogeneous panel technique is used, including panel estimation through fully modified least squares (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS). The empirical findings indicate a long-term equilibrium relationship between economic complexity, energy consumption structure and greenhouse gas emission within all three panels. Economic complexity and energy consumption structure have a statistically significant impact on greenhouse gas emission within all panels, but the influence is higher within the subpanel of countries with a lower level of economic complexity, suggesting a higher risk of pollution as the economic complexity grows and as the energy balance inclines in favor of non-renewable energy consumption. Our paper suggests that the economic complexity is a variable that must be taken into consideration when national economic and energy policies are shaped. Finally, policy implications for each panel of countries are discussed.

In order to determine the optimal parameters of the external insulation system and guide the energy saving and greenhouse gas emission reduction of building, a typical student dormitory building in Beijing was chosen as research object. The life cycle thinking and dynamic simulation method were used in the present investigation. The relationship between the expandable polystyrene (EPS) external insulation system design parameters and building energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission in each phase of materials production phase, operation phase and the whole life cycle was studied, systematically . The results show that the consumption of clay brick, concrete and cement mortar account for 98.1% of the total materials consumption, where concrete contributes most to both energy consumption (36.6%) and greenhouse gas emission (35.9%). Regarding the contribution to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission for building life cycle, materials production phase accounts for 5.6%-18.8% and building operation phase takes up 80.6%-93.4%. With the increase of EPS insulation thickness, the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emission increase linearly in materials production phase, decrease in building operation phase, and have an optimization value in the building life cycle to reach the minimum when the heat transfer coefficient (K) is 0.3W / (m2 • K) equivalent to the EPS insulation thickness is 130mm. Building heating load reduces with the increases of insulation thickness, but the envelope thermal insulation performance has no significant influence on cooling load.
