Some experiments have shown that integrating PCM boards with night ventilation [[17], [18], [19]], or using PCM tanks in cooling cycle [20] reduces the energy consumption of active air conditioning systems during daytime operation, and enhances the overall indoor thermal behavior [21]. ...
During the DESIREX Campaign 2008, Salamanca and Martilli (2012) stated that a higher albedo leads to a 5% reduction in energy consumption by air conditioning during summertime periods for the area of Madrid. The regional energy saving effect of high-albedo roofs can also be found in Akbari ...

We described three uses of energy for which greater efficiency is feasible: transportation, space heating, and air conditioning. Shifts to less energy-intensive transportation modes could substantially reduce energy consumption; the magnitude of such savings would, of course, depend on the extent of ...
Latent heat thermal energy storage materials suitable for solar heating and off-peak air conditioning were investigated and evaluated in terms of criteria developed to judge their usefulness. The often recommended sodium sulfate decahydrate and its mixtures were shown to have undesirable melting properties...

Extreme weather conditions were found to increase the carbon emissions across all models, likely due to the use of air conditioning and the diminished performance of batteries in such conditions35. Cold temperatures, in particular, have a more pronounced impact on BEVs. The decrease in battery act...
4). Participants were given a questionnaire to fill out each commute day that included a log of their vehicle type and usage for each commute (including windows, heating, air conditioning, and air circulation). The mean (time-weighted average) and cumulative exposure to each measured air ...
Let us take Beijing and Shanghai as an example, where the air-conditioning load makes up 50% of the power load during the summer peak, and this proportion will continue to witness an increase [1]. Because of the physical characteristics and the users’ habits, the air-conditioning load is...
During the summer period, high peak temperatures can be observed, which can be slightly reduced by using larger openings. Sign in to download full-size image Figure 3.48. Air change rate during work time (7:30–17:30) for the period May–September. Sign in to download full-size image ...
