In an environment that emphasizes ecological sustainability, there is increasing interest in
the development of bio-building materials to achieve carbon neutrality. Among bio-building …

Biochar has gained attention as a green and low-cost energy utilization resource. However,
the application of biochar as a carrier for form-stable phase change materials (FSPCMs) has …

Thermal comfort has a major impact on the quality of the indoor environment, and the choice
of construction materials plays a critical role in this regard. A tried-and-true method for …

The thermal envelope is a key component of a building's energy efficiency. Therefore,
considerable efforts have been made to develop thermal insulating materials with a better …

Additives provide substantial improvement in the properties of composites. Although bio-
based composites are preferred over synthetic polymer and metal-based composites, they …

Over the last decade, there has been increased interest in applying biomass as a raw
material for producing biofuels used for thermochemical conversions. Extensive use of …

Corncob (CC) based solar evaporators were employed to desalinize seawater brought from
the Vallarta coast in Mexico. The pure CC produced an evaporation-rate and evaporation …

This paper aims to study the thermal performance at wall scale of hollowed bricks made of
starch/beet-pulp bio-composites identified as a potent solution for the development of …

Houses in the operational stage consume around 40% of the world's energy, and most of it
is consumed by air conditioning. This generates several problems, especially in cities …
