      Vapor cloud explosions (VCEs) can cause significant damage to nearby buildings, facilities and infrastructure with potential loss of life and significant business interruption, so the accuracy of predicting blast loads on ...
    • Accounting for the Occupancy Variable in Inverse Building Energy Baselining Models 
      Claridge, D. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
      The occupancy factor is often underestimated in inverse modeling of building energy use, or accounted for by grouping the daily data in occupied and unoccupied groups which are modeled separately. For instance, in institutional ...
    • Accurate 100:1 Rangeability Linear Response Head Meter 
      Grant, G. H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
