A Ventilated Dual-Function Photonic–Phononic Metasurface for Simultaneous Passive Radiative Cooling and Low-Frequency Noise Mitigation in Building Envelopes: Conceptual Design and Computational Feasibility Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic metamaterials for sound insulation and photonic/radiative-cooling metamaterials for passive thermal management have each matured separately for building-envelope retrofit, but existing studies address ventilation, acoustic damping and radiative thermal control in isolation, and no reported unit-cell architecture co-designs all three within a single shared structure. This gap persists because materials that are acoustic absorptive are generally dense and structurally opaque, whereas materials that are highly solar-reflective are conventionally applied to …

Holistic integrated approach of designing a satellite town: Introducing theories of environmental parameters like pollution free, circular economy and sustainability
Abstract: Urban regions are quite challenging to restore the quality of environment at the global level as well as posing serious threat to climatic changes. This fact is demonstrated on the grounds that around 70% of the carbon footprint is contributed from the urban sector. The authors of the present study have attempted to design a satellite town of population 50,000, partly to dilute the population density of main urban town …
