This study describes the performance of selective coatings to have maximum solar absorptance and minimum thermal emittance, in relation to substrate preparation. Aluminium and copper substrates, covered with sputtered or electroplated metal base layer, have been used to see the influence of...

This study is based on the analysis of the data obtained through a yearlong thermal comfort survey in one of the even naturally ventilated buildings in Oxford. It is concerned with how much the use of available controls contributes to thermal comfort by modifying the indoor thermal environment....

The energy deficit budget of Pakistan demands for an energy transition from limited fossil fuel reserves to abundant renewable energy sources. With a modest research and development programme for solar energy utilisation, PCSIR and DGNRER concentrated on both solar thermal and PV systems. The...

Pakistan needs substantial amount of energy to develop its industry and to increase the agricultural productivity. The available indigenous energy resources are limited. The only option which the country has to pursue is renewable energy. This paper identifies the potentials of solar and wind...
