Today, those figures have changed quite a bit and much less of our energy (62 percent) is now used this way (heating comes in at 43 percent and hot water at 19 percent). That's still almost two thirds of your bills, however—and a powerful incentive to insulate and improve efficiency...

18 (12.9%) cities had very high heat vulnerability index values; only one of these (Malabon City) was in Metro Manila (Fig.3c). Forty-five (32.4%) cities had high heat vulnerability index values. Seven of these cities are found in Metro Manila, whereas the rest are distributed across th...
Roth IRAs offer significant tax advantages, but contribution limits make smart investment selection vital. Tony DongJan. 13, 2025 10 Best Low-Cost Index Funds to Buy Fees matter for investment outcomes, and these low-cost index funds are hard to beat. ...
Doug Glenn: Gotcha. We’re going to talk primarily about vacuum furnaces — though, I know that’s also possible in an atmosphere — and the typical vacuum furnace today is the single-chamber vacuum furnace. Maybe it’s obvious already, but can you explain the differences between the isolate...
The present study contributes to the literature with an approach that is becoming increasingly widely used today by specifying a latent class (LC) model that captures taste heterogeneity and simultaneously allocates individuals to classes according to underlying attitudes that also influence the answers ...
In the same lineage as these 19th-century devices, roof-mounted ventilators with heat exchangers, in which the flow is driven by a combination of wind and buoyancy forces, are available on the market today.16,17 In the main building of the Jubilee Campus at the University of Nottingham, fan...
where the symbols Δ𝑉𝑗ΔVj, 𝜅𝑗κj, 𝑛𝑗nj and 𝑇𝑗Tj are the volume, absorption coefficient, refractive index and the absolute temperature of volume element i, respectively. The symbol 𝐷𝑗𝑖Dji represents the radiation distribution factor, which is defined as the fraction...
To contribute to the goal of carbon neutralization, the closed-loop borehole heat exchanger system is widely applied to use geothermal energy for building cooling and heating. In this work, a new type of medium-shallow borehole heat exchanger (MSBHE) is proposed, which is coaxial type and ha...
From an environmental equity and justice perspective, understanding where these disparities in heat exposure exist today can inform future efforts to design policy interventions to ameliorate them. Study limitations While the SUHI database used in this study has been validated against other published ...
