...Habeeb Alasadi; Jun-Ki Choi; Rydge B. Mulford Photovoltaic panels (PVs) installed on building rooftops yield a positive influence on the thermal performance of the building due to the shading of the PV panels, decreasing cooling loads while causing a smaller increase in heating loads. Additionally...

... portion of the region's population, especially in urban areas, was exposed to HI above this threshold. Concurrently, the intense heat led to increased energy demands, with about a 25% increase in peak energy demand in buildings. Per capita consumption exceeded 200 kWh/month for cooling and human comfort...

...Zilin Tan; Qier An; Jingyang Li In extremely cold and remote areas such as the west of the Inner Mongolia region, due to the vast land and sparse population, the coverage rate of heating pipes is low, resulting in high non-renewable energy consumption in building heating. To reduce the reliance...
