Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes. “We pay for the computer using, so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free,”Boaz says. Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. “If you use the computer more, the e-Radiator producers more heat, ”he says...

Did you know that the Romans used thefirst heating systemaround 300 B.C., and it was called “hypocaust,” which heated the Roman homes by sending it through the walls and floors? HVAC systems have been a necessity for a long time and still are today with the harsh winters, hot summer...
Heat-only boilers, in comparison, work differently. Once heated by the boiler, water is then fed directly to the central heating system or stored within a hot water cylinder to provide hot water when it’s needed. Unlike combi and system boilers, cold water isn’t fed directly to the boil...
Crawl spaces, which are small areas beneath a home, were typically built as a buffer between that existed between a home (and its occupants) and the damp earth. Crawl spaces can be used as storage and are often where air-conditioning, utility, and heating conduits and lines run — out of...
Building Automation Systems Building Automation Systems (BAS) are at the heart of smart green buildings. These systems integrate various building functions, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and lighting, into a single, automated platform. This integration allows for more efficient manageme...

Ventilation systems are typically used in the domestic kitchens to remove cooking-generated pollutants and heat to outdoors [45,46]. Floors of all living rooms under investigation were found to be wood or tile but were covered with carpets. Show abstract COVID-19, a double-edged sword for ...
This can include adding more drywall to ceilings according to fire regulations, adding egress windows to basement apartments, and installing thermostats in each unit along with separate water and gas meters. New, detached builds will also have to consider heating and cooling systems, so it’s not...
Micro combined heating and power (micro-CHP) systems are becoming more than important, and even essential, if we pretend to take full advantage of available energy. The efficiency of this kind of systems reaches 90% and important savings in energy transport processes can occur. In this research...
