A new study by Douaa Al-Assaad et al. evaluates resilient passive cooling strategies in buildings during heat waves across different climates. Using simulations, the research evaluates the performance of passive cooling strategies such as solar shading, cool envelope materials, advanced … Continue reading →
Personal Environmental Control System (PECS) with the functions of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting and acoustic has advantages of controlling the localized environment at occupant’s workstation by their preference instead of conditioning an entire room. This improves personal comfort, health and … Continue reading →
