Temperature records are being broken across the world, leading to incalculable suffering.
The poorest and most disadvantaged people, who contributed the least to global warming …

The heat-related health burden is expected to persist and worsen in the coming years due to
an aging global population and climate change. Defining the breadth and depth of our …

Thermal energy storage (TES) will play an essential role in the push toward efficient,
electrified buildings, and phase change materials (PCMs) offer a high potential to fill that …

As global temperatures rise, the need to cool commercial buildings will increase, and with it,
electricity demand. In this research we focus on small and medium businesses (SMBs) …

Ferroelectric polymer-based electrocaloric effect may lead to sustainable heat pumps and
refrigeration owing to the large electrocaloric-induced entropy changes, flexible, lightweight …

Emerging studies illustrated that climate change has great impacts on residential electricity
consumption, but only a few studies focused on impacts of daily weather and extreme hot …

Traditional desert cities used a compact urban form since it provides benefits in terms of
thermal comfort both in urban and interior spaces. However, many current desert cities have …

The trend towards equipping buildings with active space cooling technology is expected to
continue, due to the warming climate. In addition, the electrification of mobility and industry …

Separate sensible and latent cooling (SSLC) is a promising technology for enhancing the
energy efficiency of space cooling systems. In this paper, we propose an SSLC configuration …

Global cooling capacity is expected to triple by 2050, as rising temperatures and humidity
levels intensify the heat stress that populations experience. Although air conditioning (AC) is …
