It is a frequent practice nowadays to use mean annual conversion factors (CFs) when performing life-cycle assessment (LCA) of processes and products that use electricity supplied by the grid. In this paper, we conduct an hourly assessment of the greenhouse ...
We demonstrate for the first time an asymmetric squaraine-based low band-gap hole transporting material, which acted as both light harvesting and hole transporting layers in methylammonium lead triiodide perovskite solar cells. Opto-electrochemical charact ...
The study proposes a business model for energy efficiency and provides a tool that describes how manufacturing companies create, deliver and capture value, and at the same time evidencing the energy inefficiencies, wastes and manufacturing performances tha ...
This study presents a methodology for evaluating the effects of simultaneous temperature and illuminance set-point variations on energy consumption. Different illuminance levels are achieved with an innovative dynamic shading control algorithm that allows ...
To achieve a sustainable society with an energy mix primarily based on solar energy, we need methods of storing energy from sunlight as chemical fuels. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) devices offer the promise of solar fuel production through artificial photosy ...
Buildings are our homes and our workplaces. They directly affect our well-being, and they impact the natural global environment primarily through the energy they consume. Understanding the behavior of occupants in buildings has vital implications for impro ...
Using a previously developed design methodology it was shown that optimal material distribution in combination with strategic integration of the actuation system lead to significant whole-life energy savings when the design is governed by rare but strong l ...
We review the process rates and energy intensities of various additive processing technologies and focus on recent progress in improving these metrics for laser powder bed fusion processing of metals, and filament and pellet extrusion processing of polymer ...
To avoid an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, a depletion of resources, and waste accumulation, structural engineers have a major role to play in low carbon structural design. For example, cement- based materials represent one-third of all materials ex ...
There is now clear evidence regarding the extensive use of furniture and appliances in daily human life, but there is less evidence of their impact on the environment. Responding to this gap in knowledge, this study focuses on an assessment of the environm ...
