With the increasing energy prices and growing concerns over energy security, an
accelerated transition to net zero carbon built environment has never been more important …

Considering the storage of solar energy, which is intermittent in nature, and its usage even
when it is absence, this study deals with the evaluation of thermal performance of a water-to …

Heating accounts for approximately 50% of all final energy consumption worldwide. To
decarbonise heating, renewable energy sources must be employed. To account for …

An effective quantification of the energy absorbed and supplied by latent heat thermal
