Fig. 6 a-b shows the 3D schematic of the proposed G*NHWO/P/P energy-saving window, where the (NH 4) x WO 3-based coatings are located in a hollow area filled with N 2 between two glass panels. When solar radiation appears (e.g., morning), the natural UV light is adsorbed by (NH 4 ) x WO 3, triggering photochromism.

In addition to the tunnels, construction included 15 major access shafts and four odour control facilities housing a host of instrumentation. The CSST project was a $232.3 million investment funded by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario ($62.09 million each) and the City of Ottawa ($108 million).
This study provides an energy-saving and effective way to control air pollution and promote the green development of highway tunnels. Introduction Compared with other traffic scenes with open space [1], [2], highway tunnels, especially long tunnels, have poor gas fluidity and high vehicle exhaust concentration [3], [4], [5].
Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) )that is being moved inside an underground tunnel. The basics of tunnel construction involve a series of steps that include surveying and site investigation, tunnel design, excavation and construction, and final finishing work. These steps must be carefully planned and executed to ensure the safety and durability …
The 24-hour use of tunnels made tunnel lighting a major energy consumer, which is in great conflict with the targets of low carbon and energy saving. At the same time, tunnel lighting affects drivers'' driving behavior ( Kircher and Ahlstrom, 2012 ).
Determining the airtightness of compressed air energy storage (CAES) tunnels is crucial for the selection and the design of the flexible sealing layer (FSL). However, the current airtightness calculations for flexible sealed CAES tunnels often ignore the process of high-pressure air penetration and accumulation in the lining and …
Low geo-temperature geothermal energy in the surrounding rock can be extracted by tunnel lining ground heat exchangers (GHEs) and stored in phase change material (PCM) plates to realize the cold energy utilization. However, the research of the coupling heat transfer of tunnel lining GHEs and PCM plates has been rarely reported. In this study, a …

During the construction of the Nanla tunnel, many drainage systems within the tunnel became blocked by white crystals, as depicted in Fig. 3. After analyzing the crystallisation statistics for the 5400 m long single-line section, it was discovered that the crystallisation blockage extended over 940 m, representing 17.4 % of the total length, as …
Energy tunnels are typically comprised of tunnel linings that are equipped with heat transfer pipes, thereby converting them into tunnel ground heat exchangers (tunnel GHEs). This innovative technology offers renewable methods of space heating, cooling and hot water production. While still relatively uncommon, it is becoming …
