An Adaptable Net Zero Model to Accelerate Achieving Global Climate Targets: A Monitored Case Study (2022-03-14)With increased efforts toward planning for climate change mitigation and the design of carbon neutral and Net Zero (NZ), this study addresses five key barriers in achieving the targets: (1) the lack of consensus in the ...
-
(2023-08-07)The purpose of this study was to develop an image-based framework to generate 3D parametric BIM of existing building using Mask R-CNN and Autodesk Revit with Rhino Grasshopper. This study accomplished the following objectives: ...
-
(2020-11-24)Degree day methods are used in the estimation of building energy consumption and climate classification for buildings (e.g. in ASHRAE Standard 169-2013, which is adopted in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016). This study, first ...
-
(11th Conference on Advanced Building Skins, 2016-10-11)The abundant use of solar panels in dense urban areas is causing severe visual discomfort because of the reflection of sunlight falling on their surfaces. These intense reflections can cause a disabling glare, which impairs ...
-
(2014-06-02)This study investigated how to determine a potential scenario to reduce energy, water and transportation use in Mexico City by implementing low-energy, low-water use communities. The proposed mixed-use community has ...
-
(2016-04-28)This study aims to provide valid comparisons of the peak cooling load methods that were published in the ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, including the Heat Balance Method (HBM), the Radiant Time Series Method (RTSM), the ...
-
(2013-04-09)The intent of this study was to investigate the efficient use of energy by developing an energy efficient grocery store combined with cogeneration. This study demonstrated the potential to reduce the energy use in buildings, ...

Analysis of Improved Fenestration for Code-Compliant Residential Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This thesis presents an analysis of energy efficient residential windows in hot and humid climates. To accomplish this analysis, the use of accurate simulation tools such as DOE-2.1e is required, which incorporates the ...
-
(2009-06-02)In 2001, the Texas State Senate passed Senate Bill 5 to reduce ozone levels by encouraging the reduction of emissions of NOx that were not regulated by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, including point ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Energy-efficient building design involves minimizing the energy use and optimizing the performance of individual systems and components of the building. The benefits of energyefficient design, in the residential sector, ...
-
(2010-07-14)This dissertation addresses the issues of climate change and depletion of non-renewable resources of energy and water, and aims at eliminating the use of non-renewable resources of energy and water for the building operation ...
-
(2020-11-16)This dissertation presents a new, optimal window design procedure for an office that uses a combined daylighting and thermal simulation in a hot and dry climate. The purpose of this work is to better inform the design of ...
-
(2022-07-22)Housing represents a substantial financial challenge for many home-seekers in Saudi Arabia (KSA), especially among young adults. Most private, single-family homes available in the real estate market have significant square ...
-
(2013-12-06)This dissertation investigates the relationships between the scores of the Green Building Certification System for Multifamily Housing (GBCS-MF) and resident perception ratings in South Korea. Sustainability has become ...
