A thermochromic film embedded with size-optimized microcapsules autonomously switches between passive heating and cooling ...

A combination of cooling technologies and techniques could reduce the temperature and energy needs of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It's possible to significantly reduce the temperatures of a major city in a ...

Recent heatwaves have struck areas like Northern Europe and the Pacific Northwest that have traditionally gotten by without much air conditioning. As people in those regions adjust to the new reality, ...

A newly engineered, wood-based material successfully reflects heat, or infrared radiation, and could cut the energy costs associated with cooling buildings by up to 50%, according to a modeling ...

Rising temperatures around the world run the risk of creating a dangerous cycle where more people get air conditioning, which causes energy demand to surge and leads to higher carbon emissions, which ...

This increasing demand for electricity presents a challenge: meeting cooling needs while minimizing environmental impact. Energy-efficient cooling technologies offer a sustainable solution in this ...

It’s possible to significantly reduce the temperatures of a major city in a hot desert climate while reducing energy costs, a new study by UNSW Sydney shows. The findings, published today in Nature ...
