Development of a Solar-Driven Adsorption Thermal Energy Storage System Concept for Space Heating Applications in Northern Remote Indigenous Communities
Professor Papineau will be working with a PhD and Master’s student to quantify the social benefits of a carbon-neutral alternative to diesel heating systems in a Northern community without access to grid-scale electricity. The expected social benefits will arise from reduced CO2 emissions, improved air quality, lower respiratory illness. To measure these changes, we will use quantitative approaches that combine data from indoor and outdoor air pollution measurement instruments, surveys, and health data obtained from partner organizations in the community.
