Up‐to‐Date Review on Flat‐Plate Solar Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal Systems: Absorber Designs and Fabrication Materials

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Photovoltaic (PV) technology is generally perceived as well‐developed but suffers a drop in performance at high temperatures. Faced with this problem, researchers are turning to PV thermal (PVT) systems, which integrate electricity production and thermal energy. Flat‐plate PVT systems are the most widely adopted among the various configurations.

Net Zero Energy‐Ready Buildings: A Canadian Construction Perspective and Evaluation

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 8, Issue 12, December 2024.
The design process for net‐zero energy‐ready buildings (NZErB) enhances energy resilience. This study assesses the potential of new and retrofit buildings in Canada to achieve NZErB status, using key performance indicators. Most new buildings and many retrofit ones meet level 5 in airtightness, TEDI, MEUI, and energy efficiency, with cellulose ...

Mega‐events and the minor

open access: yesArea, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2024.
Short Abstract This paper argues for thinking mega‐events through minor theory, encouraging a concern for the micro, the marginalised, and the seemingly mundane in concert with developments at larger scales. This perspective reveals a deeper sense of the implications of, for instance, a mother and daughter walking under a new highway built for the ...
