Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred between objects or systems due to a temperature difference. It is a manifestation of the internal energy of a substance or a system, resulting in the motion of its constituent particles. Heat can be transferred through three main mechanisms Phase 1_Device How can we control … Read more
Designing spaces made easy Context In an era where visualizing changes in interior spaces is crucial, whether it’s for purchasing a new home or renovating an existing room, the challenge lies in accurately envisioning the end result. The process often requires specialized skills, time, and significant financial investment. However, with the development of an innovative … Read more
The AEC industry consumes 40% of global energy and emits 33% of greenhouse gases, which contributes heavily to climate change. Additionally, by the year 2050, the population will grow up to 10 billion people of whom the two-thirds are going to be living in cities. Which means a lot more building will need to be … Read more
