Development and modeling of a solar powered ground source heat pump system
Buildings consumed 40% of the energy and represented 40% of the carbon emissions in the United States. This is more than any other sector of the U.S. economy, including transportation and industry. Most building energy consumption is for space heating, cooling and water heating in buildings. …

Adapting vernacular strategies for the design of an energy efficient residential building in a hot and arid climate: City of Yazd, Iran
<p>Today, buildings consume a significant amount of primary energy, and consequently they are a major source for greenhouse gas emissions resulting in global warming. During the last decades, the concept of sustainable architecture with the major aim of diminishing negative environmental impact of …
