New Tech/Study: Salt/Brine Humidification De-Humidification (HDH) instead of Steam.

Here is a study/technology to address removing the steam humidification in HVAC systems. This also has a benefit to be able to dehumidify if we can run the system in reverse during the summer/humid months. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/332994718_An_experimental_study_of_brine_recirculation_in_humidification-dehumidification_desalination_of_seawater

Are there any alternatives to increasing emergency generator capacity to account for hospital loads shifted from gas?

The infrastructure required for the additional generator capacity is a huge financial, and sometimes physical, barrier to conversion to electricity.

The benefits of solar PV are obvious and proven but one limiting factor with PV capacity is the available roof or parking lot space. But what if you could design PV in 3 dimensions instead of 2?

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of proven photovoltaic wrap products that are applied to glass? We came across an article recently where this was installed on a skyscraper in China.
