The continuous growth of building energy consumption and carbon emissions has
aggravated the balance between environment and energy, in which building heating and …

Global energy consumption by buildings represents 34% of final energy use and 37% of
energy-related CO₂ emissions, emphasising the critical need for sustainable, energy …

Globally, the energy demand of the building sector has increased intensely. The use of air
conditioning in buildings for thermal comfort consumes a large percentage of this energy …

Combining a phase change material (PCM) and night ventilation provides a good
opportunity to reduce the load of air conditioning in buildings, particularly for a large diurnal …

Compacting phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy management in buildings is
a promising method to reduce peak temperature and heat gain in hot climates. This …

In this study, a combination of thermal capacitance (Phase Change Material) and thermal
resistance (Polyurethane Foam and air) materials are incorporated into Energy Efficient Clay …

In this century, the world is undergoing an energy transition led mainly by renewable energy
and smart technologies. The realization of the energy-efficient building concept is a …

Energy is a critical component of modern human life, and life without energy-consuming
sectors is unthinkable for twenty-first-century humans. The building sector is a significant …

This research experimentally examines the thermal behaviour of concrete brick-based PCM
layer/capsules during severe hot summer days in southern Iraq. Three bricks were …

To promote diatomaceous earth (DE)-based phase change composite as green energy
building materials, this paper bridges the studies of experimental and molecular dynamics …
