Buildings have a major contribution to the global energy consumption. Heating, ventilating
and air conditioning systems (HVAC) are responsible for most of the energy use in buildings …

The present world energy scenario signifies the importance of renewable energy utilization
and paves the pathway towards green and net zero energy building concepts for a …

The increase in the gap between energy supply and demand have led to human focus on
energy storage. With this purpose, this study numerically investigates the melting process of …

Increasing energy consumption during summer periods is becoming an increasing problem
worldwide, particularly in Iraq. Air-conditioning applications account for approximately half of …

The air conditioning demand varies significantly in the hot and desert climates of the UAE
due to diurnal temperature variation, seasonal shifts, and occupancy patterns. One of the …

This study combined building construction practice, microencapsulated phase change
materials (mPCM), and aluminum honeycomb structures to construct an mPCM honeycomb …

The present work reports the enhancement in free cooling potential using a modified cooling
system compared to the conventional free cooling system. The proposed modified system is …

There has been a steep increase in cooling energy requirements in recent years owing to
the growing demand for thermal comfort in buildings. Electric peak demand required to meet …

The free cooling system is a highly efficient solution that effectively regulates indoor
temperature when the ambient air temperature fluctuates within the thermal comfort range …

In this study, experimental investigations on a Phase Change Material (PCM) based thermal
energy storage system (TES) were carried out. The TES system was designed and tested as …
