Active Thermal Field Integration for Marangoni‐Driven Salt Rejection and Water Collection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A thermal gradient fabric (TGF) evaporator with an auxiliary active thermal field can simultaneously increase evaporation rates and achieve long‐term salt rejection. The auxiliary active thermal field is well integrated with solar energy to construct moderate, extensive, and circulating Marangoni flow for salt rejection.

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2020 Residential and commercial buildings consume approximately 60% of the world’s electricity. It is almost impossible to provide a general definition of thermal comfort, because the feeling of thermal comfort is affected by varying preferences and specific ...

On the Interaction between Personal Comfort Systems and Centralized HVAC Systems in Office Buildings [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Most modern HVAC systems suffer from two intrinsic problems. First, inability to meet diverse comfort requirements of the occupants. Second, heat or cool an entire zone even when the zone is only partially occupied. Both issues can be mitigated by using personal comfort systems (PCS) which bridge the comfort gap between what is provided by a central ...

Comfort-as-a-Service: Designing a User-Oriented Thermal Comfort Artifact for Office Buildings [PDF]
Thirty Ninth International Conference on Information Systems 2018, 2020 Most people spend up to 90 % of their time indoors. However, literature in the field of facility management and related disciplines mostly focus on energy and cost saving aspects of buildings. Especially in the area of commercial buildings, only few articles take a user-centric perspective and none of them considers the subjectivity of thermal comfort.

A simplified model of thermal comfort [PDF]
Energy and Buildings, 1985 Abstract The purpose of conditioning the air in a building is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for its occupants. Satisfaction with the environment is composed of many components, the most important of which is thermal comfort. The principal environmental factors that affect human comfort are air temperature, mean radiant temperature ...
