TROY, N.Y. - Three years ago a team of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers began developing an "intelligent" solar heating and cooling system designed to radiate heat from the walls of a home ...

Passive cooling, like the shade a tree provides, has been around forever. Recently, researchers have been exploring how to turbo charge a passive cooling technique — known as radiative or sky cooling ...

Heating and cooling buildings is a major consumer of energy, especially older ones that weren’t built with modern energy efficiencies in mind. Now, engineers at Fraunhofer Institute have developed a ...

Photovoltaic-thermal panels and geothermal heat pumps could mostly cover the heating and cooling demand of office buildings, according to new research from Greece. Scientists at Greece's National ...

Arriba Technologies, a UK heating and cooling specialist, has developed a solar-integrated heating and cooling unit with a DC electrical system, all in a single package. It is installed at a 750 kW ...

As energy conservation becomes a priority among more and more people and material prices continue to fall, solar energy applications such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar heating and cooling (SHC) ...

From a distance, the energy system on top of a college residence hall in Omaha, Nebraska looks like photovoltaic panels. But as you get closer, it becomes clear that this is something different, with ...

WATCH AND EMBED VIDEO INTERVIEW WITH RESEARCHER MARWA DABAIEH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7_CtReM2O4 Researcher Marwa Dabaieh from Lund University in Sweden has ...

The great room of the Myers home is designed to let in plenty of sun in the winter, while blocking it in the summer. Plan a comfortable, energy-efficient home that saves you money on heating and ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Passive cooling, like the shade a tree provides, has been around forever. Recently, researchers have been exploring how to turbo charge a passive cooling technique — known as radiative ...

A new study describes a new technology that provides both radiative cooling and solar heating, all is one system and without using electricity or fuel. It could help impoverished communities, reduce ...
