Cross-sectoral trade-offs in a changing climate: Surrogate models to balance home energy bills, occupant comfort, and power system externalities by Shuhaib Nawawi, Ming Yi, Michael Craig, Thomas Deetjen, Parth Vaishnav

Of the 212 combinations of city, estimated income group pair, house size, and season analyzed, the lower-income household pays more for a marginal increase in thermal comfort in 137 cases, but this difference is significant only in 39 cases.…”
