    • Below Canopy Meteorological Measurements at Three Florida Sites with Varying Tree Cover and Development 
      Sonne, J. K.; Vieira, R. K. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      Residential demand for air conditioning is strongly impacted by the surrounding ambient air temperature. Research over several decades has documented the progressive impact of urban heat islands on summer temperatures in ...
    • Development of a High Efficiency Ceiling Fan 
      Parker, D. S.; Callahan, M. P.; Sonne, J. K.; Su, G. H.; Hibbs, B. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      The potential of ceiling fans to improve comfort during the cooling season is well documented (Rohles et al.. 1983; Fairey et al.. 1986). There are at least two cases: In the first where air conditioning is unavailable, adding ...
    • Impact of Reflective Roofing on Cooling Electrical Use and Peak Demand in a Florida Retail Mall 
      Parker, D. S.; Sonne, J. K.; Sherwin, J. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
      Architects in hot climates have long recognized that reflective roof colors can reduce building cooling load. Experimentation spanning nearly three decades has shown that white roofing surfaces can significantly reduce ...
    • Measured Impacts of Air Conditioner Condenser Shading 
      Parker, D. S.; Barkaszi, S. F.; Sonne, J. K. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
      A study has been conducted by the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) to examine if space cooling energy savings can be achieved from shading of residential air conditioning (AC) condenser units. The investigation consisted ...
    • School Conditions Will Continue to Earn Failing Grades 
      Sonne, J. K.; Vieira, R. K.; Cummings, J. B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
    • Side-by-Side Testing of Commercial Office Lighting Systems: Two-lamp Fluorescent Fixtures 
      Parker, D. S.; Schrum, L.; Sonne, J. K.; Stedman, T. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
      Lighting systems in commercial office buildings are primary determinants of building energy use. In warmer climates, lighting energy use has important implications for building cooling loads as well as those directly ...
