Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a class of nanomaterials renowned for their exceptional thermal conductivity and ability to absorb a broad spectrum of light, including near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. When CNTs are exposed to NIR light, they efficiently convert the absorbed energy into heat through a process called photothermal conversion. This property makes them ideal for applications…

Sustainable design and architecture are critical components of modern construction, aiming to reduce environmental impact, optimize energy efficiency, and enhance occupant comfort. This report explores the integration of a sustainable product inspired by traditional Iranian wind towers, which convert cold wind into warm air, into green building design. The product aligns with the principles of…

LEED: Principles, Goals, and ScoringOverview of LEEDLEED is a certification system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of buildings and encourage sustainable design. It provides a framework for designing, constructing, and operating green buildings. LEED certification is awarded based on a point system across several categories, with four…
