Combating urban heat islands : assessing the potential of open-loop geothermal heat pump systems in Canada
… for a case study in Québec City to compare the performance and thermal impact of different open-loop geothermal systems. A favourability index in the form of a 5-point rating system was developed to classify aquifer suitability by integrating key hydrogeological properties obtained from field …

Analysis and design of a cylindrical parabolic solar collector
… accurate model for the cover transmittance and a seasonal performance model was developed. The optimum collector dimensions and materials were found to be a strong function of the design operating temperatures. The optical and thermal losses of a cylindrical-parabolic collector were compared and …
