Experimental and numerical study on the thermal performance of earthbag-wall units incorporated with phase change materials (2024)
Journal Article

The demand for temporary housing for refugees and displaced communities has led to the development of earthbag buildings. While these structures are affordable and sustainable, they often struggle with thermal discomfort in extreme climates. This stu...

Parameter control in synthesis of Vermiculite-CaCl2 composite materials for thermochemical adsorption heat storage (2024)
Journal Article

This study utilised vermiculite as a matrix to explore various impregnation methods for synthesising vermiculite-CaCl2 composite materials (VCMs), focusing on the impact of these methods on the performance of VCMs as thermochemical materials. Results... Read More about Parameter control in synthesis of Vermiculite-CaCl2 composite materials for thermochemical adsorption heat storage.

Harnessing the characteristic of compound parabolic concentrators for directional concentration of emitted thermal radiation and solar shielding in building-integrated radiative cooling (2024)
Journal Article

Radiative sky cooling (RC) is a promising solution for meeting the growing cooling demands by passively dissipating waste heat into frigid outer space. However, current RC systems suffer from low cooling power density and limited installation flexibi...
