Cold storage for low-cost air-conditioning
TLDR
In this paper, the authors have shown that building heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) consumes 50% of the building energy consumption and such high costs are based on the conventional HVAC cycles for air cooling based on grid co...Abstract:
