Near-Zero-Energy Homes In Colorado.The article reports on the decline in the energy consumption of Cattle Creek Crossing houses in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, with the compliance of its developer to the standards of Building America certification....
According to China's National Technical Standard for Nearly Zero Energy Building, the Ling House was renovated based on a traditional farmhouse in 2019. It is the first Nearly Zero Energy Building (NZEB) that obtained an assessment logo in China, and won the Silver Award in the...
Located in the heart of Shenzhen's Longgang District, the International Low Carbon City (ILCC) Convention and Exhibition Center is China's first near zero-energy facility. It uses the Huawei Digital Power Co-Mind and Smart PV Storage solutions to reduce energy consumption and generate its own ...
Electrical engineers at the University of California, San Diego, believe the technology could also enable a new class of devices that can be powered by harvesting energy from low-power sources, such as the body or the surrounding environment. "Our vision is to make wearable devices that are so...
We investigate the ionization dynamics of Argon atoms irradiated by an ultrashort intense laser of a wavelength up to 3100 nm, addressing the momentum distribution of the photoelectrons with near-zero-energy. We find a surprising accumulation in the m
Pre-shaped microbeams, curved or inclined, are widely used in MEMS for their interesting stiffness properties. These mechanisms allow a wide range of positive and negative stiffness tuning in their direction of motion. A mechanism of pre-shaped beams wit
As time went by, most pioneers had to make their homes near a river so that they could get water easily.Back in the pioneer days, people grew their own food, caught their own fish, and collected their own water. Staying close to a river was easy to get water for living. People also...
Prices of energy and other commodities have declined somewhat in recent months, and underlying inflation has trended lower. With substantial resource slack continuing to restrain cost pressures and longer-term inflation expectations stable, inflation is likely to be subdued for some time. ...
researchers said. One tradeoff is that the sensor has a response time of approximately one temperature update per second, which is slightly slower than existing temperature sensors. However, this response time is sufficient for devices that operate in the human body, homes and other environments whe...
Temperature is an important parameter to measure in a variety of applications such as environmental monitoring, wearable biomedical devices, smart homes, and industrial internet-of-things equipment. Since devices employed in such applications often need to be ultra-small and/or unobtrusive, there is ...
