Performance of a demand controlled mechanical extract ventilation system for dwellings [PDF]
, 2013 The main aim of ventilation is to guarantee a good indoor air quality, related to the energy consumed for heating and fan(s). Active or passive heat recovery systems seem to focus on the reduction of heating consumption at the expense of fan electricity ...

Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2022 An experimental study of a two-storey structure with a passive ventilation system is conducted in August, with the severe summer environment of Kut, Iraq. The experimental model consists of a solar chimney combined with a hybrid cooling system comprised of an Earth-air heat exchanger and an evaporative cooler.

Effect of Regular Yoga Practice on Respiratory Regulation and Exercise Performance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Yoga alters spontaneous respiratory regulation and reduces hypoxic and hypercapnic ventilatory responses. Since a lower ventilatory response is associated with an improved endurance capacity during whole-body exercise, we tested whether yogic subjects ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Conventional passive radiative cooling films rely on costly feedstocks and energy‐intensive fabrication, with poor end‐of‐life compatibility in agriculture. To address this challenge, a sustainable radiative cooling mulch (SRCM) is developed from waste maize leaves via spontaneous hydrogen‐bond self‐assembly.
