This study aimed to utilize the natural wind to create optimal natural ventilation to achieve thermal comfort of the indoor environment through the best layout and placement of residential blocks, creating proper distance between blocks and orienting blocks properly inside a residential complex site in a summery humid climate.
In this backstory, Marta Hatzell (left) interviews Jennifer Wilcox (right), leader of the field of carbon capture and the impacts of carbon on the climate.
Rooftop solar installers submit fewer quotes to low-income households. Income-targeted marketing could pose barriers to equitable solar adoption. Customers that receive fewer quotes are less likely to adopt solar. Policymakers could design low-income solar programs to address supply-side barriers.

This book chapter addresses SDG 7 by explaining how a stand-alone solar PV/wind hybrid system works including necessary controlling and modeling.
The review examined the potential of renewable and non-renewable energy resources and the current state of exploitation in Kenya.
As large renewable capacities penetrate the European energy system and the climate faces significant alterations, the future operation of hydropower reservoirs might deviate from today.
Many inhabited Greek/Mediterranean islands are unsustainable without mainland support due to lack of access to clean water and energy. This case study establishes the feasibility of sustainable green energy solutions for these settlements.
This book chapter advances SDG 7 by introducing electrification as a megatrend directly shaping not only the energy system but also society, global development, and energy politics internationally. In particular, it highlights the potential for electrification as a master solution for an accelerated transition to climate neutrality
