TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a narrative of future change based on observable trends that results in low energy demand and showed how changes in the quantity and type of energy services drive structural change in intermediate and upstream supply sectors (energy and land use).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed an energy demand model to assess buildings' energy demand across the 21st century, and applied it in an analytical scenario framework to take socioeconomic uncertainty into consideration.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel system dynamics model is developed with an explicit representation of the water-energy interactions at the residential end use and their influence on the demand for resources, including an endogenous carbon tax based climate change mitigation policy which aims to meet carbon targets by reducing consumer demand through price.

TL;DR: This work indicates that globally, sustainable development of infrastructure must consider the urban water-energy nexus and shows that both can be achieved while saving on future water system infrastructure investments compared to business-as-usual.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a system dynamics (SD) modelling framework to assess the natural capital performance of development and aid design evaluation, which is used to evaluate the capacity of natural space to provide ecosystem services, providing a semi-quantitative measure of system wide impacts of change within a combined natural, built and social system.
