As I discussed in last week’s column ("Resilience: Dramatically Better Building Envelopes," Jan. 4), a resilient home is extremely well-insulated, so that it can be kept warm with very little ...

South Korean scientists have developed a WD-ER cooling system that can lower the operating temperature of a PV panel by up to 14.9 C, with an average heat transfer coefficient of 64.1 W/m2. A research ...

Scientists from India’s PSG College of Technology have developed a passive solar module cooling technology that utilizes a hygroscopic salt to harvest atmospheric water from the air. “The objective is ...
