Abstract:
Micro-nano hybrid composites exhibiting desirable thermal conductivity levels due to the presence of specific ratios of graphite to graphene that have been found to reduce the overall thermal interface resistance. The composites are preferably epoxy matrix composites in some embodiments. Devices including the composites and methods of preparing the composites are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A system may provide virtual energy audits of one or more target buildings. The system may retrieve weather data and energy usage data specific to a given target building from a weather server and a utility server, respectively. The system may store predefined building characteristics corresponding to the given target building in local memory. Based on the weather data, energy usage data, and/or predefined building characteristics, the system may generate one or more building markers that characterize the energy usage and efficiency of the given target building. Building efficiency diagnostics and energy conservation prognostics may be generated based on the building markers and may be sent by the system to be displayed via a user interface of a client device. The energy conservation prognostics may include one or more energy conservation measure recommendations and corresponding predicted cost/energy savings.
