UC San Diego engineers have created a passive evaporative cooling membrane that could dramatically slash energy use in data centers. As demand for AI and cloud computing soars, traditional cooling ...

In lab tests, the membrane handled over 800 watts per square centimeter, one of the highest thermal loads ever recorded for a passive cooling system. It also proved stable over multiple hours of ...

Airtight and super-insulated, a passive house uses around 90% less energy. When the Canadian engineer Harold Orr and his colleagues began designing an ultra-efficient home in Saskatchewan in the ...

This study evaluates natural ventilation methods for cooling historic homes in San Antonio, highlighting energy efficiency and thermal comfort in hot climates.

For instance, following the five passive house principles—needed for a certification—can help. According to Passive House Accelerator, these are the principles: Superinsulated envelopes ...

PCM-based passive cooling for BIPV systems Indian scientists tested four kinds of phase change materials (PCMs) for solar module cooling in building-integrated photovoltaics.

Danish Students' EMBRACE House for Two Boasts a Super Energy-Efficient Double Envelope Thanks to its bipartite envelope and a combination of passive and active sustainable solutions, EMBRACE home ...

As the world seeks energy efficiency, temperature-controlled transport, and effective thermal management, the demand for passive cooling materials and technologies is on the rise.

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in developing a passive radiative cooling (PRC) material. The material, known as cooling ceramic, has achieved high-performance optical properties ...
