Feasibility of DSM-technology transfer to developing countries

This study sought to determine a methodology for enabling the demand-side management (DSM) technology transfer to developing countries. Readily available economic and social indicators, supported with a more detailed end-use research, were used to decide which technologies were suitable for a given developing country. Case studies were performed in N. Cyprus and Turkey to validate the theory. In N. Cyprus, DSM-technology transfer would be more successful in the residential and commercial sectors, whereas in Turkey it would be more feasible to consider DSM options in the industrial sector.
