Cool materials for building surfaces have been invented to reduce building energy
consumption. This study aimed to investigate the impact of cool and super cool materials on …

In this study, a novel shape-stabilization phase change materials (PCM) for 3D printed
concrete have been generated by impregnating paraffin into the recycled fine aggregates …

The aim of this study is to optimize the exterior wall insulation of different orientations to
further reduce the heating and cooling energy consumption of office buildings, and to …

Green roofs and natural night ventilation are highly coupled and complementary techniques
to improve building energy efficiency, but previous studies have not fully explored the …

Cool materials, with their high reflectivity, can significantly reduce the heat absorbed by
buildings in summer and thus reduce energy consumption. The amount of solar radiation …

Heat-induced labor loss is a major economic cost related to climate change. Here, we use
hourly heat stress data modeled with a regional climate model to investigate the heat …

The construction energy consumption (CEC) is about 35% of entire energy consumption
(EC), of which 50% is for cooler air-conditioner. The practical cooling EC is relevant to the …

Nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEBs) are one of the crucial paths to achieving carbon
neutrality in the construction industry. Office park buildings have developed rapidly in recent …

This paper aims to investigate the performance of diffuse ceiling ventilation (DCV) in heating
mode by a full-scale chamber. Eleven cases combined with different exhaust positions …

Ventilated roofs can improve thermal performance and reduce the energy consumption of
building roofs. In this study, the optimal design parameters and adaptability of naturally …
