Researchers have developed a new method that can lead to significant energy savings in buildings. The team identified 28 major heat loss regions in a multi-unit residential building with the most ...

The primary goal of this research was to minimise the energy consumed by heating and cooling loads in residential buildings in a sub-humid Mediterranean climate zone. This was achieved by optimising ...

The global energy crisis is an unwelcome wakeup call to make fundamental changes to how we design, build and operate infrastructure. And while there are immediate short-term challenges which need to ...

The group led by Professor Krarti has a wide range of research interests related to improving the energy efficiency, sustainability, and resiliency of both new and existing buildings. Some of the ...

A distinguished scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory who has led the creation of computer models of energy use in nearly every residential and commercial building in the United States will speak ...

Suppose you meet with an architect and ask her to design a building. You tell her the design you'd like, the size, and where it will be located. You might also specify the level of energy efficiency ...

Heating and lighting buildings requires a vast amount of energy: 18% of all global energy consumption, according to the International Energy Agency. Contributing to the problem is the fact that many ...

With the development of software programs like DOE-2 and EnergyPlus, it's never been easier for Building Teams to evaluate potential energy saving measures for a building project. However, preparing ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering have designed a chameleon-like building material that changes its infrared color—and how much heat it absorbs or ...
