Analysis of Improved Fenestration for Code-Compliant Residential Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates Mukhopadhyay, Jaya (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 ...
-
Malhotra, Mini (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, ...
-
Malhotra, Mini (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 ...
-
Li, Qinbo (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 ...
-
Curtin, Jonathan M. (2009-05-15)More than $18 billion of energy is wasted annually in the U.S. commercial building sector. Retro-Commissioning services have proven to be successful with relatively short payback times, but tools that support the commissioning ...
-
Baltazar Cervantes, Juan Carlos (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)This dissertation provides one methodology to determine potential energy savings of buildings with limited information. This methodology is based upon the simplified energy analysis procedure of HVAC systems and the control ...
-
Development of an Improved Methodology for Analyzing Existing Single-Family Residential Energy Use Kim, Kee Han (2014-05-29)The purpose of this study was to develop an improved methodology for analyzing the energy use from existing single-family. The overall goal of this work is to make home energy audits more effective by providing homeowners ...
-
Sung, Yong Hoon (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In this dissertation I will present and test a model linking actual applicant-interviewer demographic, human capital, and cultural capital similarity to an interviewer's recommendation to hire. Actual similarity is proposed ...
-
Development of new methodologies for evaluating the energy performance of new commercial buildings Song, Suwon (2009-06-02)The concept of Measurement and Verification (M&V) of a new building continues to become more important because efficient design alone is often not sufficient to deliver an efficient building. Simulation models that are ...
-
Atre, Umesh Vinayak (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This research investigates the effects of daylighting in an existing elementary school in College Station, Texas. The conclusions are generalizable to similar school designs in hot and humid climates. This study focuses ...
-
Koenig, Jay; Haberl, Jeff S.; Gilman, Don; Hughes, Sherrie (Texas Conference on Digital Libraries, 2008-06-05)The Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) is a division of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station and part of the Texas A&M University System. First established in 1939, the ESL maintains a testing laboratory on the Riverside ...
-
Visitsak, Sopa (2009-05-15)To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
-
Fu, Hongxiang (2021-08-02)A significant portion of energy consumption occurs in buildings today. Accurate and easy-to-implement methods are needed to calculate building energy consumption for a wide range of applications, including efficiency ...
-
Zhou, Hongyun (2014-07-30)The intent of this study was to reduce the energy consumption of an existing high-rise apartment in the warm and humid climate region of Shanghai, China by applying energy-efficient and cost-effective strategies. To ...
