Thermal bridges, insulation defects and building envelope air leakage can form hidden energy gaps, or inefficiencies that force HVAC systems to operate under sustained high loads that drive up energy ...

Infrared thermography has emerged as a pivotal non‐destructive technique for enhancing the energy performance of buildings. By utilising thermal cameras to capture surface temperature distributions, ...

Detecting infrared light is critical in an enormous range of technologies, from remote controls to autofocus systems to self-driving cars and virtual reality headsets. That means there would be major ...

As colder months set in, building heat loss becomes more costly. With buildings' operational energy use representing about 30% of global final energy ...

Researchers developed a type of infrared photodiode that is 35% more responsive at 1.55 m, the key wavelength for telecommunications, compared to other germanium-based components. Detecting infrared ...
