(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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(2020-11-11)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 ...
-
(2020-07-15)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 intelligibility ...
-
(2014-12-23)In most urban areas of United States, newly constructed buildings have to comply with building codes from the International Code Council (ICC) or from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning ...
-
AniManabi combines two of my greatest passions, architecture and anime. The building functions as an anime studio and learning center. Within the anime industry lay economic and societal challenges. More shows are being ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Animation is a powerful teaching tool. Ideas can be expressed through animation using only a fraction of the time needed with conventional teaching methods [John Halas 1987]. In short, a picture is worth a thousand words. ...
-
(2010-01-16)Geometry deals with form, shape, and measurement and is a part of mathematics where visual thought is dominant. Both design and construction in architecture deal with visualization, and architects constantly employ geometry. ...
-
(2011-08-08)Designing domestic violence shelters for women must be considered from a feminist perspective, inclusive of theories of embodiment, as the female victim's emotional state (mind) is a critical component in determining her ...
-
(2019-11-04)This research focuses on overcoming the difficulties of using BIM in conceptual design. It suggests that incorporating formal knowledge with computational concepts within BIM enables the tool to support the conceptual ...
