A thermochromic film embedded with size-optimized microcapsules autonomously switches between passive heating and cooling ...

Researchers in Iraq have developed biomimetic leaf vein–inspired fins for photovoltaic panels, with reticulate (RET) venation reducing panel temperature by 33.6 C and boosting efficiency by 18% using ...

As I discussed in last week’s column ("Resilience: Dramatically Better Building Envelopes," Jan. 4), a resilient home is extremely well-insulated, so that it can be kept warm with very little ...

Following the first energy crisis in 1973 there was a rush to heat homes with the sun. It was a tinkerer's paradise, with all manner of solar heating systems migrating from garage workshops to ...

This week, researchers from the University of California published a new study detailing an innovative approach to passive cooling. It can convert the Earth's passive heat into a small but steady ...

Through a cutting-edge heat exchange system, the Museum of Bavarian History in Regensburg, Germany, efficiently heats and cools its building, showcasing a promising solution for urban decarbonization ...

Heat-sink devices and technology have many aspects, but I am hooked on basic models of varying sizes and fabrication ...
