300-m tower uses ceramic for heat control

A 302 m (990 ft) high-rise building in Dubai uses a ceramic facade to deliver shading and reduce heat radiation. The Wasl Tower, located near the iconic Burj Khalifa, combines traditional materials with advanced engineering to reduce cooling loads by approximately 10 percent. It is the region’s tallest building to feature a ceramic facade, a… Continue reading 300-m tower uses ceramic for heat control The post 300-m tower uses ceramic for heat control appeared first on Construction Specifier.

Are The Benefits Of AI Really Just A Myth?

I’d like to address the benefits that Oracle proposes, are inherent to using AI. Though I agree there is potential with the software and emerging technologies, I think it’s easy to jump on the bandwagon before something has been tried and tested. It’s important to consider the dangers that it may pose in an incomplete state.

Engineering with Rosie - Ultimate Climate Hack or a Recipe for Disaster? 25042023

The dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid that hit the earth and caused rapid global cooling from the sulfuric aerosols dispersed by the impact. Rapid cooling sounds like just the ticket to UNDO global warming... Can we artificially recreate the cooling effects of the asteroid’s impact to erase the effects of climate change?

Just have a Think - Stirling Heat Engine to Stirling Heat Pump : How is it done? 11042021

Stirling engines have been around since the nineteenth century. They are an elegantly simple way of generating power using temperature differentials, but nobody ever found a way to make them efficient enough for wide scale use. Now a UK company has developed a heat pump system based on the principles of the Stirling Engine, but with some ingenious adaptations, using no HFC refrigeration gases and with a 30% saving in energy costs compared to existing systems

Just have a Think - Keeping cool in a warming world, 25102020

As our world grows warmer, the need to provide ourselves with cool comfortable living and working spaces becomes an ever bigger challenge. Existing cooling systems cause the atmosphere to warm even faster through CO2 emissions and refrigerant chemicals that are thousands of times more powerful as greenhouse gases. So what can we do to square the circle?

Just have a Think - How can we make air conditioners 33% more efficient? Here's a revolutionary solution, 22082021

Energy consumption for heating and cooling is expected to triple in the next thirty years, as populations grow, and more people move into cities. A lot of that energy demand is used in compressing and pumping fluids. Now a market disrupting technology has been launched that increases compression speed by 38% while using 33% less electricity. Multiply that by billions of units and you get a pretty helpful contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions
