Abstract: Energy-efficient building design, especially in residential construction, strongly relies on thermophysical properties of the building envelope and its materials. With increasing insulation values in construction practice, ...

Abstract: We systematically determine the maximally efficient manner of using water and air in a single-cycle steady-flow combustion gas turbine power plant. In doing so, we identify the upper limit to exergy efficiency for dry and ...

Abstract: Across the United States, rural households are more vulnerable to higher energy burdens (percentage of household income spent on energy bills). Energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies provide the means for ...
