Personal Robotic Air-conditioning Device
Published Wednesday, September 16, 2015BackgroundHeating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems have made tremendous gains in full-load efficiency over decades of research. However, the efficiencies of many full-load HVAC systems are approaching a maximum where it will not be cost effective to improve these systems any further. In many cases, in order to reduce energy...
