Shaping Tomorrow's Global Built Environment Today
November 6, 2025
A researcher at the University of Kansas has produced the most comprehensive and detailed map of air-conditioning use in the United States—data that can improve the understanding of AC access for public health officials, urban planners, emergency managers, economists, energy auditors, providers of social services, private industry and other stakeholders. Read more

A recent poll quizzed more than 7,000 respondents about their attitudes and knowledge surrounding heat pumps—a low-carbon replacement for fossil fuel heating like gas boilers or oil. Awareness of heat pumps has soared (89%) in the UK among those who don’t have a heat pump in their home, but the survey highlights some differences between men and women. Read more
With heat waves among Europe's deadliest climate hazards, a team of scientists led by Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change has developed a prediction system capable of providing weather information four to seven weeks before summer. Trained on data from centuries of climate analysis up to recent years, the machine learning system has demonstrated an increase in forecast efficiency by drastically reducing the computational resources required. Read more
Researchers at the University of Sydney and start-up Dewpoint Innovations have developed a nanoengineered polymer paint-like coating that can passively cool buildings and capture water directly from the air—all without energy input. The project team created a porous polymer coating that reflects up to 97% of sunlight and radiates heat into the air, keeping surfaces up to 6° cooler than the surrounding air even under direct sun. Read more
Join ASHRAE Journal Technical Editor Rebecca Norris and Austin Shelnutt as they discuss liquid cooling solutions for data centers, focusing on cold plate design and energy efficiency.

ASHRAE Journal
By David Schurk
Some believe desiccant dehumidification is too complex to understand or that it is inefficient, overly expensive and should only be applied in extreme cases. This article challenges those misconceptions and shows how desiccant dehumidification is an energy-efficient, sustainable and cost-effective solution for almost any environment requiring moisture removal.

In Case You Missed It
The U.S. has formed a $1 billion partnership with Advanced Micro Devices to construct two supercomputers that will tackle large scientific problems ranging from nuclear power to cancer treatments to national security. The U.S. is building the two machines to ensure the country has enough supercomputers to run increasingly complex experiments that require harnessing enormous amounts of data-crunching capability.  Read more
