Thermal comfort or money saving? Exploring intentions to conserve energy among low-income households in the United States
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how demographics, climate zones, and a set of social-psychological variables, including energy concern, bill consciousness, frugality attitude, and thermal comfort (needs for coolness and warmness), influenced energy conservation intentions among 248 low-income households across the U.S. residential sector.

Performance analysis of integrated earth–air-tunnel-evaporative cooling system in hot and dry climate
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of simple earth-air-tunnel heat exchanger (EATHE) is enhanced by integrating an evaporative cooler at the outlet, considering the temperature and humidity of ambient air as condition of inlet air.
