This study assesses ARIMA models for capturing, predicting, and visualizing solar irradiance patterns in Uyo, Nigeria. Previous studies specific to Uyo solar irradiance forecasting explored regression models, which are not suitable for advanced analysis.

Solar water heating systems have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies for reducing dependence on conventional fossil fuels and electricity-based water heating.

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 study presents an integrated technical and economic assessment of solar-assisted absorption and thermoelectric air-conditioning technologies for residential cooling applications.

Advanced thermoelectric materials that can be used efficiently for energy conversion have received significant research interest for the last decade because of the mounting demand for sustainable and eco-friendly energy technologies.

Thermoelectric materials capable of efficient energy conversion near room temperature are critical for waste heat recovery applications.
