The serious energy supply problems along with the conventional resources depletion and the environmental conscience regarding global warming and climate change have urged the need for a complete change in the energy production, supply and consumption patterns. Therefore, the switch towards...

The drastic rise in the conventional fossil fuel prices along with the global warming and climate change have urged the need to switch towards renewable energy resources and use alternative means for more efficient energy resources utilization. Tri-generation technology has attracted...

Using the latent heat of evaporation of water as a natural driving energy resource, indirect evaporative cooling (IEC) systems can decrease air temperature without increasing its moisture content. The performance of any evaporative cooling system is largely dependent on the structure and design...

Owing to global energy crisis, various technical strategies are adopted for energy conservation in buildings through energy-efficient technologies. One of the significant ways for this purpose is by installation or usage of heat or energy recovery device which is known as one of main...

This paper presents an experimental and analytical study on incorporation of thermoelectric modules with glass evacuated-tube heat-pipe solar collectors. The integrated solar heat-pipe/thermoelectric module (SHP-TE) can be used for combined water heating and electricity generation. The...

Recently, there is growing demand for energy saving technologies in buildings due to global warming and environmental impact issue. As a result to this, energy-efficient technologies are becoming more popular amongst researchers and designers. In this regards, to fulfil energy conservation...

Pressure to slash CO₂ emissions continues to mount with growing levels of legislation and incentives to preserve our environment. To meet these targets, considerable research into renewable energy sources and energy efficiency is underway. Thermal energy storage (TES) systems offer attractive...
