With the purpose of reducing the heating energy in buildings, it is common practice to install energy-efficient windows to increase the thermal insulation of a façade. These insulating glass units (IGIJ) include a thin silver coating acting as an infrared ...
Indoor temperature maintenance represents a large portion of the energy used in buildings and reducing dependence on energy-intensive thermal conditioning systems would benefit our fight against climate change as well as potentially have positive effects o ...
An ex-situ, indirect aqueous CO2 mineralization pathway based on magnesium solvent cycling for precipitated calcium carbonate is studied for application in the Energy-from-Waste context in Switzerland. Necessary main equipment components, resources flows a ...
Brown adipose tissue plays a central role in the regulation of the energy balance by expending energy to produce heat. NAD(+)-dependent deacylase sirtuins have widely been recognized as positive regulators of brown adipose tissue thermogenesis. However, he ...
Edge-computing requires high-performance energy-efficient embedded systems. Fixed-function or custom accelerators, such as FFT or FIR filter engines, are very efficient at implementing a particular functionality for a given set of constraints. However, the ...
Jammed, disordered packings of given sets of particles possess a multitude of equilibrium states with different mechanical properties. Identifying and constructing desired states, e.g., of superior stability, is a complex task. Here, we show that in two-di ...
Technological advancements in the 20th century have significantly changed modern lifestyles and housing. Modern homes are well-insulated, and people in them typically expect minimally varying indoor thermal environments, bought at significant operational a ...
Why focus on action levers? • Wellbeing with low energy demand is clearly defined in low energy scenarios like LED or DLS, but it is far from obvious how to get there, including even collectively deciding on what is a good transition. • Progressively chang ...
One of the main global goals is the reduction of the energy consumption and the most appropriate way for achieving this aim is to target one of most critical sectors, the residential. The selected technology for this work is the district energy network, wh ...
Geomechanics is advancing our understanding of the multi-physical processes encountered in engineering practices involving energy storage and production and environmental protection for which the characterization of the behavior of relevant materials is es ...
