In this sense, energy efficiency has been studied as a factor that enhances the positive impacts of energy in communities; however, the implementation of efficiency requires strong policy and strategies that usually rely on individual measures focused in independent dimensions. In this paper, the problem of energy efficiency as a multi-objective problem is studied, using scientometric analysis to discover trends and patterns that allow to identify the main variables and study approximations related with a further development of models to integrate energy efficiency and MCA into policy making for small communities.}, journal = {International Journal of Environmental and Ecological Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {2}, year = {2016}, pages = {219 - 222}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10003794}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/110}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 110, 2016}, }
