The Energy Efficient Buildings Strategy: More Action, Less Energy sets new targets that support the goals of the BC Energy Plan: A Vision for Clean Energy Leadership to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact. The more energy we conserve, the fewer new sources of supply our province...
The three flexibility strategies being considered are based on the modulation of the indoor air temperature setpoint profile while considering different marginal costs for electricity. The main objective is to quantify the energy storage flexibility of each strategy and evaluate its impact on the system...

Given such rapid market growth, you may wonder whyenergy efficiency solutions for buildingsare such a big thing right now. To sort it all out, let’s talk about the benefits that these technologies bring to organizations one by one.
Turing-type nanochannel membranes with extrinsic ion transport pathways for high-efficiency osmotic energy harvesting High permselectivity of nanofluidics remains a challenge in osmotic energy conversion. Here, authors construct two dimensional nanofluidics with Turing-type nanochannels, which provide extrinsic ...
which changes the path of light propagation to avoid the appearance of strong glare as well35. Therefore, the aesthetic wood ceiling not only provides us a different experience of visual beauty and comfort but also enhances energy efficiency for indoor lighting owing to its high haze and anti-gl...
Smart Cities arise from the necessity of better energy efficiency in buildings, where the building is the fundamental and relevant actor. Nowadays, classic and conventional buildings will integrate emerging technologies, e.g., renewable energy and passiv
