This article presents an experimental and numerical analysis of cooling buildings using night-time cold accumulation in phase change material (PCM), otherwise known as the 'free-cooling principle'. Experimental and numerical studies of the ceiling and floor free-cooling principle, as well as passive

A suggestion is made for using superconductors as thermal radiation shields at or below liquid helium temperatures. Calculations are described which predict total emissivities for niobium of 10 -4-10 .5 at 4 K and 10 "8-10 -7 for temperatures of 1-2 K.
Th~s paper presents an experimental study on the development of calcium silicate thermal insulator (CSTI) using the raw materials locally available in Saudi Arabia. Several parameters have been considered to optimize the synthetic conditions and batch composition of CSTI. These include autoclaving
