A system that uses solar energy to provide air conditioning across an entire campus of the University of the Sunshine Coast has claimed a rather cool international award in Iceland. USC and... Read more
Researchers Want to Use Air-conditioning and Ventilation Systems for Decentralized Production of Carbon-neutral Synthetic Fuels – Publication in Nature Communications Researchers at the Karl... Read more
Researchers from the UK and Spain have identified an eco-friendly solid that could replace the inefficient and polluting gases used in most refrigerators and air conditioners. Refrigeration... Read more
It can be used to cool or heat the air in a room or to cool or heat liquids. And it looks like something that Q – the tech specialist and gadgeteer in the James Bond films – might have come... Read more
Device developed at MIT could provide refrigeration for off-grid locations. MIT researchers have devised a new way of providing cooling on a hot sunny day, using inexpensive materials and re... Read more
All-weather friendly cooling technology works without mechanical compressors or chemical refrigerants, and generates drinking water A team of researchers from the National University of Sing... Read more
Stanford scientists cooled water without electricity by sending excess heat where it won’t be noticed – space. The specialized optical surfaces they developed are a major step toward applyin... Read more
A team of University of Colorado Boulder engineers has developed a scalable manufactured metamaterial — an engineered material with extraordinary properties not found in nature — to act as a... Read more
Poorly maintained air conditioning systems cause mold or other bacteria to spread; they often also generate drafts and are costly to operate. An alternative technology that uses ceiling pane... Read more
System has the ability to condition the air and control humidity independently The University of Nottingham is developing a solar air conditioning system that is said to have the capability... Read more
We’ve previously seen designers use the presence of swimming pools or take advantage of prevailing winds to help passively cool homes. But what if every brick used to build a house cou... Read more
Their proposal involves the incorporation of solar collectors into a gas-based cogeneration system with an absorption machine The use of solar panels to produce toilets hot water is standard... Read more
Adaptable microfluidic circulatory system could cut air-conditioning costs Sun-drenched rooms make for happy residents, but large glass windows also bring higher air-conditioning bills. Now... Read more
