An Improved Multipyranometer Array for the Measurement of Direct and Diffuse Solar Radiation
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This thesis describes the development of an improved multipyranometer array (NDA) for the continuous remote measurement of direct and diff-use solar radiation. The NWA described in this thesis is an improvement over ...
The Impact of Charge on Performance of an Air-to-Air Heat Pump for R22 and Three Binary Blends of Refrigerants 32 and 134A
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Not available
Development of Pre-Screening Indices to Improve Energy Analysis of Public K-12 Schools
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Indices are an important tool used to increase the accuracy and efficiency of the energy audit process. This thesis describes methods for using annual, monthly, daily, and hourly indices to improve current energy auditing ...
Analysis of Residential Building Energy Code Compliance for New and Existing Buildings Based on Building Energy
(2020-12)
Currently, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is the most widely-used residential building energy code in the United States. Either the IECC or IECC with amendments has been adopted by 33 states. The latest ...
A study of occupancy-based smart building controls in commercial buildings
(2020-12)
Occupant behavior has a significant influence on energy consumption in buildings because HVAC, lighting, equipment, and ventilation operations are often tied to occupancy- based controls. However, currently, the traditional ...
The Influence of Dust on the Absorptivity of Radiant Barriers
(1993-08)
The purpose of this project was to model and quantify the increase of the absorptivity of radiant barriers caused by the accumulation of dust on the surface of radiant barriers. This research was the continuation of a ...
Methodology to Develop and Test an Easy-To-Use Procedure for the Preliminary Selection of High-Performance Systems for Office Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 2009-08)
A procedure has been developed for the preliminary selection of high-performance
systems for office buildings in hot and humid climates. High-performance building
systems and components were surveyed for buildings in the ...
Development and Application of a Procedure to Estimate Overall Building and Ventilation Parameters from Monitored Commercial Building Energy Use
(1997-05)
This thesis proposes and validates a simplified model appropriate for parameter identification and evaluates several different inverse parameter identification schemes suitable for use when heating and cooling data from a ...
An Analysis of Energy Reductions from the Use of Daylighting in Low-Cost Housing
(Energy Systems Lab, 2003-08)
Development of a Transient Heat and Mass Transfer Model of Residential Attics to Predict Energy Savings Produced by the Use of Radiant Barriers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1992-12)
A transient heat and mass transfer model was developed to predict ceiling heat gain/loss through the attic space in residences and to accurately estimate savings in cooling and heating loads produced by the use of radiant ...
