Enhanced mechanical energy conversion with selectively decayed wood – Science Advances
Producing electricity from renewable sources and reducing its consumption by buildings are necessary to meet energy and climate change challenges. Wood is an excellent…
INTRODUCTION
Buildings account for about 40% of worldwide energy consumption and for nearly one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions (13). Boosting the building energy efficiency plays an increasingly decisive role to meet future energy and climate targets (4, 5). Current efforts mainly focus on the reduction of building energy consumption through the design of envelopes for enhancing insulation, sun shading, and natural ventilation (68). Besides reducing energy consumption, the integration…
