Mixed-mode buildings utilise a combination of natural ventilation from operable building
envelopes and mechanical systems to realise climate-friendly ventilation and cooling. The …

This paper reviews applied single and hybrid solar energy-saving techniques with emphasis
on solar chimney, Trombe wall, and photovoltaics for building energy consumption and …

Evaporative cooling is a widely employed energy-saving cooling method. It has found
applications in a variety of different areas such as HVAC, industrial process cooling, and …

As global median temperatures continue to rise, the demand for active cooling systems
(ACs) is increasing. These systems are particularly prevalent in developed countries for …

The building sector has played an important role in energy consumption over the last few
decades, demanding actions to decrease it. A way to reach this goal, without affecting the …

Conventional energy consumption in refrigeration is one of the important reasons in global
warming. Solar cooling systems are becoming more compact, having lower costs, and are …

Abstract Space cooling now has the fastest-growing energy end-use in buildings, with an
almost tripled energy demand compared to 1990. This paper provides a state-of-the-art …

In order to examine and compare the efficiency of earth to air heat exchanger (EAHE)
systems in hot-arid (Yazd) and cold (Hamadan) climates in Iran a steady state model was …

The building sector is responsible for 51% of the electricity consumed in Brazil, and about
10% of the total greenhouse gas emissions. These numbers continue to grow, despite …

Over the recent decades, the excessive consumption of fossil fuels and its ensuing problems
has become a major issue of concern in many countries. This paper assesses the effect of …
