The Window Market in Texas: Opportunities for Energy Savings and Demand Reduction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The use of high performance windows represents
a promising opportunity to reduce energy
consumption and summer electrical demand in homes
and commercial buildings in Texas and neighboring
states. While low-e glass coatings ...
Comparative Summer Thermal Performance of Finished and Unfinished Metal Roofing Products with Composition Shingles
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
This paper presents an overview of results from
experimental research conducted at FSEC's Flexible
