“What is the diversity ratio of the sum of the individual building peak load demands system when compared to the peak demand of the entire chilled water system plant hour by hour?” Without the answer ...

Heating and cooling load calculations are the primary design basis for most heating and air-conditioning systems and components. These calculations affect the size of piping, ductwork, diffusers, air ...

Buildings are getting tighter, and owners now expect better indoor air quality and comfort, so it is not surprising that ...

As temperatures and cooling demand rise across the Gulf, researchers are exploring how thermally efficient, low-carbon concrete — including solutions using ceramic waste and 3D printing — could help ...

Because of numerous factors and conditions, the heat transfer process for space heat gains, unlike space heat losses, is not steady state and must be analyzed carefully and accurately in order to ...

Researchers in Hong Kong Hong Kong fabricated a thermochromic bifacial photovoltaic glazing system prototype that passively regulates solar heat gain while harvesting energy from both sides.
