Near-zero-energy-consumption buildings (NZEBs) are of great significance for sustainable
development, and their design and research have attracted increasing academic attention …

This study proposes and investigates a novel energy system based on biomass and solar
energy. This plant is composed of a biomass unit, a solar unit, and a waste-heat recovery …

This research presents different scenarios of hybrid photovoltaic-geothermal heat pump
system that can provide the requirements of the heating and cooling load consumption in a …

Solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) technologies have attracted great attention and have been
widely studied in recent years. Taking phase change material (PCM) as the cooling and …

Shore power is the use of shore-side electricity to satisfy ships' electricity demand during
berthing at ports. It is an effective measure of reducing the emissions produced by auxiliary …

Natural disasters such as earthquakes impose destructive effects in the form of human
injuries and damage to properties each year. Damage caused by the earthquake can disrupt …

In subtropical area, air conditioning (A/C) is widely used to provide a suitable thermal indoor
environment. During operation, many parameters or configurations may influence the …
