Development of spectrally self-switchable cover with phase change material for dynamic radiative cooling (2022)
Journal Article

Radiative cooling promises an effective strategy against global warming by sending waste heat to the deep universe in a passive manner. However, the mismatch between cooling supply and demand can significantly compromise the efficacy of spectrally-st...

Enhancing the detection performance of a vision-based window opening detector (2022)
Journal Article

In favourable climates and building types, employing natural ventilation can lead to significant energy savings and health benefits. However, in cold climates or conditions, the use of natural ventilation could result in significant heat loss and, co...

Enhancing the detection performance of a vision-based occupancy detector for buildings (2022)
Journal Article

Occupant behaviour is one of the key parameters that significantly impact the operation of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems and the energy performance of buildings. Detailed occupancy information can improve HVAC operation and... Read More about Enhancing the detection performance of a vision-based occupancy detector for buildings.

Evaluating urban heat island mitigation strategies for a subtropical city centre (a case study in Osaka, Japan) (2022)
Journal Article

Urban heat island (UHI) effects were first observed in London in the 19th century. The urban heat island is identified by developing higher temperatures in urban areas than the surrounding rural areas that directly surround them. However, there are s...
