Effect of Refrigerant Charge, Duct Leakage, and Evaporator Air Flow on the High Temerature Performance of Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
An experimental study was conducted to quantify the effect of several installation items on the high outdoor ambient temperature performance of air conditioners. These installation items were: improper amount of refrigerant ...
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 ...

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 ...
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)
