The daily energy demand in public buildings has been on the rise, partly due to the intensive
use of building energy-comfort technologies. Hot water production, space heating and air …

The demand for the quality and yield requirements of crops in high latitudes and cold
regions is increasing. The traditional structure design of the Chinese solar greenhouse …

This review paper presents an overview of transpired solar collectors (TSCs)-a clean energy
technology that has gained considerable attention due to its potential to minimise building …

The air source heat pump has been demonstrated to be an efficient clean space heating
technology, but the frosting on the exterior surface of the evaporator will largely decrease its …

Various active solar heating systems have been developed to enhance the Chinese
assembled solar greenhouse winter cultivation capacity by using renewable energy rather …

The solar-assisted heat pump (SAHP) is considered to be one of the efficient and promising
clean heating technologies, while the research on its operation strategy is insufficient. In this …

The solar air collector assisted air source heat pump is demonstrated to be an efficient clean
heating technology, while the research on its working modes, and the corresponding …

This paper developed a new mathematical model for transpired solar collectors (TSC) which
better considered radiative heat transfer of the corrugated absorber. The model offers …

Due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), plasmonic nanoparticles have exciting
potential for improving solar photothermal conversion performance and have been …

The present work reveals a solar thermal collector's (STC) novel design and its use for
intermediate-temperature solar cooking. The main aim of the work is to demonstrate the …
