The global energy demand from the building and construction sector continues to rise, mainly due to rapid expansion of buildings’ floor area and global climate change. Ambitious, yet compelling, zero energy buildings (ZEB) are deemed to directly and effectively address the global issues on climate change and energy scarcity. As defined in this s...

Rising energy costs and growing environmental concerns are leading to an increase in the demand for energy-efficient solutions for buildings. Smart thermostats provide a convenient and effective way to reduce energy consumption and save money on heating and cooling bills. Consumer demand to automate and control home environments is making smart the...

The proliferation of smart devices in residences across the globe has risen over the last two years. Smart thermostat is one such device that has seen traction, especially in regions like North America and Europe. Once considered as expensive devices with complicated controls, smart thermostats have become consumer friendly and light on the pocket ...

The COVID-19 pandemic impact on the North American HVAC market was relatively muted than expected. While the market was forecast to slump by 6% in 2020, the post-Q2 2020 rebound helped HVAC manufacturers get their business back on track. Amid the government change in the United States and the adoption of favorable climate change regulations and pro...

Upgrading public street lights to LED lights alone is not enough to achieve desirable energy savings. Therefore networked, adaptive street lighting solutions have emerged as a leading smart city application. Although replacing existing street lights with LED lamps could cut down cities' electricity costs by 50%, networking these LEDs can deliver ad...

This research service tracks infrastructure development in Angola. The research service forms part of the infrastructure tracker studies across the African continent. Angola's infrastructure has endured years of neglect and destruction and is in urgent need of refurbishment. The civil war between 1975 and 2002 had a severe impact on the overall qua...

The study covers a macro assessment, market segmentation and sizing, assessment of competitors, value chain analysis, and growth opportunities for rooftop solar photovoltaic installations for residential and non-residential (defined as business-to-business [B2B]) buildings in Thailand. Commercial and industrial building segments are the most att...

Li-Fi and optical camera communications (OCC) are emerging light communication technologies that have gained traction in the past few years in indoor and outdoor wireless communications. Li-Fi is a networked, bi-directional wireless communication technology that uses light to transmit/receive massive amounts of data at higher speeds for short-range...

The technologies under evaluation fall into the following broad categories: advanced vapor compression, advanced heat exchangers, emerging non-vapor compression, and integration of energy storage and air conditioning. Within these broad categories, multiple technologies under development have been analyzed. Some of the over-arching themes across th...
