The Kraftblock team at the site of one of their firm's thermal batteries, installed at a ceramics plant. The battery is the white container connected to the building via the chrome pipes. About half ...

Converting home heating systems from natural gas furnaces to electric heat pumps is seen as a way to address climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Converting home heating systems from ...

Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat. Half of global energy demand is for heating, not power. They are simple, scalable, and far cheaper ...

Heat pumps are essential for ditching fossil fuels. The appliances are many times more efficient than even the best gas furnaces, and they run on electricity, so they can draw power from renewables ...

Metal building systems are compatible with a wide range of architectural cladding materials. However, in buildings where energy efficiency is a concern, there is a strong case to be made for an ...

A US government report looked at the cost savings and grid effects of the mass installation of heat pumps. The result: lower energy bills. Jon covers artificial intelligence. He previously led CNET's ...

The solution emerging across continents is clear—integrated, flexible energy systems capable of absorbing renewables, reducing waste, and powering economies more intelligently than ever before. The ...

The devices can heat and cool homes more efficiently than furnaces and air-conditioners, but their sales have slowed because of higher interest rates and a slow rollout of federal incentives. Heat ...
