Sentence examples for minimising heat from inspiring English sources
The roof of the Undercroft is turfed, minimising heat loss and – importantly – connecting the house with the landscape.
Passive cooling strategy maximises the efficiency of the building envelope by minimising heat gain from the external sources and assisting heat loss to the natural sources of cooling such as air movement, cooling breezes, evaporation and earth coupling.
Efficient algorithm design allows real-time operation in low-cost devices with longer operating times on a portable power supply while reducing power consumption and minimising heat dissipation.
Various ways of minimising heat loss from the cell surface including insulation or providing supplementary heat via a heating belt or panel were assessed but discarded in favour of housing the cell in a hot air cabinet maintained at 80 °C and eliminating the surrounding cell body.
The solar gains are reduced for chosen angles corresponding to aestival elevations of the sun, thereby minimising heating loads in winter and cooling loads in summer.
