Abstract With the advent of ongoing population growth and rapid urbanization, building density has increased significantly. This trend has been responsible for increased urban temperatures and thus resulting in higher reliance on air-conditioning (AC) systems. Although these systems improve indoor comfort, they also release waste heat into the outdoor environment. This waste heat can worsen the urban microclimate and thus represents a hidden thermal cost of AC.

Abstract The selection of an appropriate dielectric material for a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)-based radio-frequency cantilever switch is essential for achieving reliable operation, improved actuation performance, rapid response, and stable thermal behavior. In this work, a rectangular cantilever structure is designed at a micro scale. It optimized the influence of dielectric materials on response time, operating capacitance between the beam and electrodes, and thermal performance.
