    • Daylighting Analysis through Scale Model, Full Scale Measurements and Computer Analysis for a Texas A&M University Campus Building 
      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 ...
    • Daylighting Design Tools in Atria for Minimum Cooling Loads in Atrium Buildings 
      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, ...
    • Energy Assessment Process for Generic Multistory Atrium Types 
      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 ...
    • Evaluation of Lightshelf Daylighting Systems for Office Buildings in Hot Climates 
      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 ...
    • The Framework of an Optimization Model for the Thermal Design of Building Envelopes 
      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 ...
    • Measurements and Comparisons of Lightshelf Performance in Two Texas Office Buildings 
      Molinelli, J. F.; Boyer, L. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
      Natural light (daylighting) in office buildings is often used to supplement or eliminate the artificial lighting otherwise required. When daylight can be effectively admitted and distributed, then energy is conserved, and ...
    • Validation of the Algorithms Developed for Preliminary Prediction of Daylight Distribution in a Toplighted Atrium 
      Boubekri, M.; Atif, M. R.; Boyer, L. L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
      Empirically based preliminary prediction algorithms were recently developed for different atrium types under various diffuse sky conditions. In the case of toplighted atriums, these algorithms were developed to predict ...
