An Analysis of Low Cost, Energy Efficient, Housing for Low-income Residents of How and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2004-05)
The purpose of this research is to develop methods that will enable the reduction of owning and operating costs of low-income housing in the hot-humid climates of the U. S. The objectives include investigating various ...
Whole-Building Commercial HVAC System Simulation for Use in Energy Consumption Fault Detection
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2007-05)
Numerous fault detection and diagnostic system techniques
have been developed for HVAC systems, but most focus
on detecting faults at the component level, for example, air handling
units or variable air volume boxes. ...
The Effect of a 90 Degree Elbow on the Accuracy of Liquid Flow Measurement with an Insertion Flowmeter
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2000-08)
To quantify the measurement error of slow meters in the developing length, simulation model development, local velocity measurements, flowmeters test, and regression model development were carried out for 10.2 cm, 15.2 cm, ...
Development and Validation of a Computer Model for Energy-Efficient Shaded Fenestration Design
(Texas A&M University, 2000-05)
The goal of this study is to develop and validate a computerized model for an energy efficient fenestration system that can easily be incorporated into the architectural design process. This model is for the thermal ...
A Decision Support System for chemical incident information
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Decision Support Systems (DSS) find extensive applications in business enabling industry managers to make intelligent risk decisions. Although widely used in business applications, the application of DSS to Process Safety ...
Chemical accident databases: what they tell us and how they can be improved to establish national safety goals
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The objectives of this research are to examine and critique eight chemical accident databases, document any trends in accident occurrences, develop a strategy for improving current databases, and to establish national ...
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 ...
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 ...
Transportation risk assessment for ethanol transport
(2009-05-15)
This research is aimed at assessing the quantitative risks involved with an ethanol
pipeline. Pipelines that run from the Midwest, where the vast majority of ethanol is
produced, to the target areas where reformulated ...
