Researchers in Canada have proposed using gravity-based energy storage in high-rise buildings, in combination with photovoltaic facades, small wind turbines, and lithium-ion batteries. Their modeling ...

A new technique has been developed for capturing solar power through windows, which could dramatically improve solar energy utilization, particularly for high-rise buildings. When you purchase through ...

As environmental accountability becomes embedded in design culture, the building envelope is being reconsidered not just as a protective skin, but as an active energy-producing surface. Treating solar ...

Japanese imaging and electronics company Ricoh announced its perovskite solar cell technology will be evaluated on an unmanned cargo transfer operated by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

While the birth of the high-rise building can be traced back to the late nineteenth century, designing high-rise buildings for the purpose of science remains a relatively recent concept. Historically ...
