Development of Empirical Temperature and Humidity-Based Degraded-Condition Indicators for Low-Tonnage Air Conditioners
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A split-system direct-expansion air conditioner was used to empirically determine temperature and return-air humidity indicators that could detect performance degradation resulting from degraded conditions. The air conditioner ...
Study of Cubic Splines and Fourier Series as Interpolation Techniques for Filling in Short Periods of Missing Building Energy Use and Weather Data
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
To define a single technique that can be reliably used for evaluation of missing data in time series of weather and building energy use data is a complex task. This thesis evaluates the application of spline and Fourier ...
The Effect of Alternate Defrost Strategies on the Reverse-Cycle Defrost of an Air-Source Heat Pump
(Texas A&M University, 1988)

An Improved Procedure for Developing a Calibrated Hourly Simulation Model of an Electrically Heated and Cooled Commercial Buildling
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1994-12)
With the increased use of building energy simulation programs, calibration of
simulated data to measured data has been recognized as an important factor in
substantiating how well the model fits a real building. Model ...
Analysis of Support Vector Machine Regression for Building Energy Use Prediction
(2020-08)
There are many inverse modeling methods to model the whole building energy use. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and change-point liner regression (CPLR) have been some of the most common methods due to their direct ...
Development of a Prototype for Integrating Building Information Model (BIM) with Daylighting Simulation Tools for Designing High-Performance Buildings
(2020-09-13)
The outcome of this study is the development of a prototype REVIT2RADIANCE add-in program for a Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring tool Autodesk Revit to perform daylighting studies with ease by architects and ...
Methodology for the Preliminary Design of High Performance Schools in Hot and Humid Climates
(2010-07-14)
A methodology to develop an easy-to-use toolkit for the preliminary design of
high performance schools in hot and humid climates was presented. The toolkit proposed
in this research will allow decision makers without ...
An Analysis of Off-grid, Off-pipe Housing in Six U.S. Climates
(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 ...
Analysis of Innovative HVAC System Technologies and Their Application for Office Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates
(2012-02-14)
The commercial buildings sector in the United States used 18 percent (17.93 Quads) of the U.S. primary energy in 2006. Office buildings are the largest single energy consumption category in the commercial buildings sector ...
Development of new methodologies for evaluating the energy performance of new commercial buildings
(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 ...
