Low-carbon competitiveness is an effective way for enterprises to remain relevant in the global green economy agenda. The low-carbon footprints of firms are not only reflected in their carbon-tangible assets but also in carbon-intangible assets. Thus, carbon-intangible assets also play a crucial role in firms’ emission mitigation and environmental conservation capacity. Several forms of carbon-intangible assets may constitute an integrated system that shapes the low-carbon performance of enterprises. Therefore, firms’ low-carbon competitiveness can be evaluated by studying the distribution of individual carbon-intangible resources and the composite shape of such assets. Based on this idea, this paper explored the dimensions through which carbon-intangible assets contribute to low-carbon competitiveness. By determining the location and distribution of each carbon-intangible asset in its value space, we proposed a multidimensional evaluation technique with three dimensions including realistic, sustainable, and inimitable value. Herein, the idea of value space of carbon-intangible assets has been contributed to the extant literature. Finally, to apply our evaluation index system, we selected three Chinese steel companies to serve as the research sample and evaluated their low-carbon performances. The main contribution of this study is the development and application of a novel multidimensional low-carbon evaluation method. This technique will not only help governments as well as the academics to effectively determine the low-carbon level of enterprises but also helps managers to fully grasp the trends of low-carbon competitiveness and thereby take some targeted measures to improve their firms’ performance.

As the input ratio of regional distribution network increases year by year, higher requirements are put forward for high quality and high reliability of power consumption. Under this background, this paper involves 11 evaluation indexes from three dimensions of reliability, economy and environmental protection, and designs the evaluation index system of investment effect of regional distribution network. The multiattribute AHP-TOPSIS-entropy weight combination evaluation method for the investment effect of regional distribution networks is constructed. And select distribution network A, B, C area for example analysis, the results show that the n-1 pass rate, power supply reliability, power consumption growth and emission reduction of clean energy generation are positively correlated with the investment effect of regional distribution network.

Purpose This paper aims to build a scientific evaluation index system for regional low-carbon circular economic development. Taking Sichuan Province as the empirical research object, the paper evaluates its low-carbon circular economy (LCCE) development level and proposes policy recommendations for climate change improvement based on the evaluation results. Design/methodology/approach This paper, first, built an evaluation index system with 30 indicators within six subsystems, namely, economic development, social progress, energy consumption, low-carbon emissions, carbon sink capacity and environmental carrying capacity. Second, develop an “entropy weight-grey correlation” evaluation method. Finally, from a practical point of view, measure the development level of LCCE in Sichuan Province, China, from 2008 to 2018. Findings It was found that Sichuan LCCE development had a general downward trend from 2008 to 2012 and a steady upward trend from 2012 to 2018; however, the overall level was low. The main factors affecting the LCCE development are lagging energy consumption and environmental carrying capacity subsystem developments. Research limitations/implications This paper puts forward relevant suggestions for improving the development of a low-carbon economy and climate change for the reference of policymakers. Originality/value This paper built an evaluation index system with 30 indicators for regional low carbon circular economic development. The evaluation method of “entropy weight-grey correlation” is used to measure the development level of regional LCCE in Sichuan Province, China.

Facing the increasingly serious energy and climate crisis, the concept of low-carbon indicates development direction for building conservation. However, building functions are easily neglected in the process of low carbon residential buildings construction. Therefore, based on the concept of value engineering, this paper presents a comprehensive evaluation method to evaluate carbon emissions of residential building. It highlights residential building functions as well. Function coefficient can be confirmed by establishing residential buildings function evaluation index system. Moreover,the unit carbon emission isadopted as cost coefficient. The low-carbon nature of residential building will be evaluated by the ratio of function coefficient and cost coefficient.The aim of this research is to advance the awareness of residential building carbon emissions, exploring the path of realizing maximum satisfaction of building functions with minimum carbon emissions, which can provide new ideas of residential building carbon emissions evaluation.

Evaluation index system of traffic simulation is very important to compare the difference of several cases, which contributes to the advance of traffic simulation models and technologies. Under the concept of low-carbon, the paper establishes evaluation index system of traffic simulation. Firstly, the paper analyzes the requirements of the evaluation index system of traffic simulation from two aspects which are the application characteristics and the application under the concept of low-carbon of traffic simulation models and technologies. On the basis of analysis above, it establishes the evaluation index system of traffic simulation which concludes road network structure index, traffic operation state index, traffic environment index and traffic safety index. It proposes the application rules of evaluation index system. Then, it proposes the two-level combined evaluation method for calculating weights on the basis of comparative analysis about two methods, which are the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and entropy method. Finally, it applies the proposed evaluation system to calculate the comprehensive index values of two transit operation cases of Beijing Olympic Games Opening Ceremony audience evacuation. It is shown that evaluation index system of traffic simulation is practicable and effective.

A low-carbon evaluation index system for container terminals is proposed on the basis of their characteristics and the concept of low-carbon port. This system takes quantitative indexes as the core, supplemented by qualitative ones. The weight of each index is determined by AHP, and then a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is established according to the AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Finally, the proposed model is applied to a certain region of a container terminal, and the result indicates that the proposed evaluation index system and evaluation model can provide a reference for the low-carbon level evaluation of container terminals.

Evaluation on the ecological carrying capacity is related to the sustainable development of cities. The evaluation requires a scientific, reasonable and intuitive evaluation method system. In order to evaluate the ecological carrying capacity of Guangzhou city, based on the “Driving-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR)” model, this paper constructs a warning-degree evaluation index system for city, evaluates the ecological carrying capacity, judges the warning-degree of Guangzhou City from 2009 to 2018 by the method of entropy weight, and puts forward the countermeasures and suggestions to improve the city carrying capacity. The calculation result shows that the comprehensive index scores of the warning-degree evaluation of ecological carrying capacity of Guangzhou city are rising, the warning degree decrease from high to medium and low during the research period. Comparing each evaluation subsystem, there is a slight drop in the driving subsystem index scores, while pressure, impact and response index scores increase significantly. And the contribution proportion of each subsystem to the comprehensive index score is different. The pressure subsystem makes the biggest contribution. Therefore, Guangzhou should continue to encourage technological innovation, promote the use of clean production, implement energy conservation and emission reduction, and develop a green economy. The government should strengthen ecological and environmental protection legislation, and improve the economic policy system for ecological and environmental protection. The public should raise the environmental protection, ecological and participation awareness.
