Professional Engagement With Climate Change Among Five Communities of Practice in Virginia, USA: An Exploratory Study

open access: yesClimate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 1, June 2026.
Municipalities across the United States and the world face profound climate adaptation and mitigation challenges. To assess current engagement and future potential of various professional communities to communicate about and contribute to such efforts, we conducted 56 in‐depth interviews in Virginia with members of five communities of practice (elected

Evaluation of the energy impact of PCM tiles in an Airport Terminal Departure hall [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Copyright @ 2013 CIBSEIn most past studies, passive PCM (phase change materials) systems have been tested for relatively small office spaces where the airflow is of minimal consequence in the overall energy consumption of the space.

A Scalable, Durable, Fire‐Safe All‐Day Passive Radiative Cooling Coating for Sustainable Buildings

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 10, 2 February 2026.
This study reports a scalable, durable coating that combines a fire‑retardant copolymer adhesive, hollow glass microspheres, and boron oxide to achieve passive radiative cooling with over 94% solar reflectance and >95% mid‑infrared emissivity. The coating maintains performance after UV and rain exposure and exhibits UL‑94 V‑0 fire resistance, enabling ...

Unexpectedly High Accumulation Rates in the 2022 Mt. Logan Ice Core Reveal Warm‐Season Drivers of Precipitation Variability

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Ice cores from Mt. Logan, the second highest peak in North America located in the St. Elias mountains in southwest Yukon, Canada, have provided conflicting accumulation records, thus the hydroclimate response to changing atmospheric conditions in the highest elevation regions is not well constrained.

Cooling load forecasting-based predictive optimisation for chiller plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Extensive electric power is required to maintain indoor thermal comfort using heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, of which, water-cooled chiller plants consume more than 50% of the total electric power. To improve energy efficiency,
