    • Effect of Surface Mass on Roof Thermal Performance 
      Wilkes, K. E.; Shipp, P. H.; Sanders, J. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
      The roof of a building is exposed to the most severe environment that is experienced by any component of a building envelope. Diurnal peak surface temperatures of 140 to 185 °F are not uncommon. The addition of thermal ...
    • Modeling of Residential Attics with Radiant Barriers 
      Wilkes, K. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
      This paper gives a summary of the efforts at ORNL in modeling residential attics with radiant barriers. Analytical models based on a system of macroscopic heat balances have been developed. Separate models have been developed ...
