Soebarto, V. I.; Degelman, L. O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)This paper presents an improved methodology to calibrate energy simulation models to better represent the actual energy use breakdowns in existing buildings. The goal of this methodology is to help architects and engineers ...

Kim, B. S.; Degelman, L. O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)It has long been recognized that evaporative cooling is an effective and logical substitute for mechanical cooling in hot-arid climates. This paper explores the application of evaporative coolers to the hot-humid climates ...

Kim, K. S.; Boyer, L. L.; Degelman, L. O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)In the first part of this study, daylighting levles in an actualy classroom are compared to scale model measurements and to computer program predictions. Secondly, the daylighting effects in the building atrium are examined ...

Atif, M. R.; Boyer, L. L.; Degelman, L. O.; Claridge, D. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)The daylighting and sunlighting value of an atrium are considered the main reasons for including the atrium use in the built environment. However, most atria today are either overlit, which causes tremendous cooling loads, ...

Chulsukon, P.; Haberl, J. S.; Degelman, L. O.; Sylvester, K. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)This study examines the lifetime building energy consumption of a typical house in Bangkok, Thailand. The lifetime building energy consumption is composed of three major components: 1) the energy used in building construction ...

Soebarto, V. I.; Degelman, L. O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)This study explored the effectiveness of selected external shading devices and glazing treatments used to minimize the total annual energy consumption in small office buildings in hot humid climates. The external shading ...

Degelman, L. O.; Boyer, L. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)In addition to the environment that atriums provide, the daylight admitted into such spaces can be utilized to displace part of the electric lighting load during the daylight periods. While within the atrium itself only ...

Oh, K. W.; Haberl, J. S.; Degelman, L. O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)The well-known versions of the sun-path diagrams and shading mask protractors that appear in the AIA's Architectural Graphics Standards (Ramsey and Sleeper 1994) are based on the equidistant projections and use a shading ...

Abdulmohsen, A.; Boyer, L. L.; Degelman, L. O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)This paper presents part of an on-going research project in the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University. This research investigates how lightshelf daylighting delivery systems can manipulate sunlight and daylight ...

Al-Homoud, M. S.; Degelman, L. O.; Boyer, L. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)Careful long term decisions in the design and operation of buildings can significantly improve the thermal performance and thus reduce the consumption of energy. The availability and ease of use of today's computers can ...

Degelman, L. O. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)Lighting and ventilation represent the majority of the air conditioning loads in office buildings in hot humid climates. Use of motion sensors is one way to minimize the energy used for these loads. This paper describes ...
