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

Advanced 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 ...

New York State Climate Impacts Assessment Chapter 04: Buildings

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1542, Issue 1, Page 214-252, December 2024.
Abstract New York State has nearly 5.3 million buildings, and all of them are vulnerable in some way to the impacts of climate change. Understanding these impacts is critical, because risks to buildings not only threaten individual lives but also pose threats to community‐level resilience.

Epitaxy of GaSe Coupled to Graphene: From In Situ Band Engineering to Photon Sensing

Small, Volume 20, Issue 40, October 3, 2024.
A new approach to epitaxy and in situ band engineering of 2D semiconductors on graphene is presented. Atomically‐thin layers of centro‐symmetric gallium selenide (GaSe) form a high‐quality, scalable interface with graphene, referred to as 2semgraphene.

Heterogeneously Catalyzed Partial Oxidation of Styrene on a Silver Surface

ChemCatChem, Volume 16, Issue 17, September 9, 2024.
The epoxidation of olefins on silver surfaces is an important industrial process on a large scale. This paper presents microscopic insights of styrene oxidation on Ag(111) under well‐controlled ultra‐high vacuum conditions. Epoxidation exclusively takes place at elevated oxygen coverages, coinciding with the emergence of electrophilic oxygen.
