Wind catchers are natural ventilation systems based on the design of traditional architecture, intended to provide ventilation by manipulating pressure differentials around buildings induced by wind movement and temperature difference. Though the mov... Read More about A passive cooling wind catcher with heat pipe technology: CFD, wind tunnel and field-test analysis.

A study of the impact of building geometry on the thermal performance of road pavement solar collectors (2015)

Studies on RPSC (road pavement solar collectors) have shown the potential of reducing the UHI (urban heat island) effects by dissipating the heat from the pavement for energy harness. Several works have shown that the generated heat could be utilised... Read More about A study of the impact of building geometry on the thermal performance of road pavement solar collectors.
