New technologies, systems, societal organization and policies for energy saving are
urgently needed in the context of accelerated climate change, the Ukraine conflict and the …

This study reviews water-based wall systems for space heating and cooling and thermal
barriers (TB) for the reduction of buildings' thermal load. The review gives a general …

Radiant heating and cooling (RHC) systems are being increasingly applied not only in
residential but also in non-residential buildings such as commercial buildings, education …

This study focuses on the design of a solar-assisted underfloor heating system specifically
tailored for nearly zero-energy buildings. The system incorporates a Photovoltaic/Thermal …

Radiant cooling (RC) systems have attracted more attention due to their advantages of
better thermal comfort and higher energy saving potential compared with the conventional …

Stratum ventilation has potentials to be used for winter heating. Both local and overall
thermal perceptions are essential for ensuring indoor satisfactory thermal environments …

The application of phase change materials (PCMs) in the building envelope can improve the
thermal performance and the indoor thermal comfort conditions because they allow the …

We assessed the difference between mean radiant temperature (tr¯) and air temperature (ta)
in conditioned office buildings to provide guidance on whether practitioners should …

The current heating measures used by residents in hot summer and cold winter zone have
several drawbacks such as single source and high operating costs, so there is an urgent …

In this paper, a comparative experimental study on the performance of mixing ventilation and
stratum ventilation for space heating was carried out. Objective and subjective experiments …
