Energy is also necessary for running the societal services for instance, transportation, health care and education. It is important to know what energy resources are available, how much energy is nEnergy is among the main driving forces needed for sustainable development. Provision of energy services, from the supply side to transmission/distribution and use, must include management, and good management requires tools. Energy planning is a tool for managing the community energy system through assessing and balancing supply and demand. This thesis explains an approach to energy planning whic

Abstract The behavior of automobile exhaust is well known through combustion science, but the potential health and environmental risks of secondary exhaust particles (created by solar irradiation) and soot are less well understood. Primary pollutants (raw exhaust) react in the atmosphere when irradiated by the Sun creating secondary pollutants (Secondary organic aerosols, SOA). The purpose of this
