Energy efficiency

A building design that uses structural elements of a building to heat and cool a building, without the use of mechanical equipment, which requires careful consideration of the local climate and solar ...

Radiant floor

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of radiant heating system where the building floor contains channels or tubes through which hot fluids such as air or water are circulated. The whole floor is evenly heated. Thus, the room ...

Pulse-width-modulated (PWM) wave inverter

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of power inverter that produce a high quality (nearly sinusoidal) voltage, at minimum current harmonics.

Pumped storage facility

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of power generating facility that pumps water to a storage reservoir during off-peak periods, and uses the stored water (by allowing it to fall through a hydro turbine) to generate power ...

Photoelectrochemical cell

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of photovoltaic device in which the electricity induced in the cell is used immediately within the cell to produce a chemical, such as hydrogen, which can then be withdrawn for use.

Crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell

Energy; Energy efficiency

A type of photovoltaic cell made from a single crystal or a polycrystalline slice of silicon. Crystalline silicon cells can be joined together to form a module (or panel).
