Zero carbon buildings refurbishment - A Hierarchical pathway
TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchical process with embedded techniques (insulations, energy efficient equipment and micro-generation) is presented as a pathway towards zero-carbon building refurbishment, which is a very complex phenomenon cuts across disciplines and will require a dramatic increase in skills and awareness amongst the construction professions.

A new transparently insulated, bifacially irradiated solar flat-plate collector
TL;DR: In this article, a flat plate flat-plate collector with both sides of its absorber are covered with transparent insulation material and both sides are irradiated, thus, the heat losses of the collector related to the total area are distinctly reduced.
