Analysis of Improved Fenestration for Code-Compliant Residential Buildings in Hot and Humid Climates (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)This thesis presents an analysis of energy efficient residential windows in hot and humid climates. To accomplish this analysis, the use of accurate simulation tools such as DOE-2.1e is required, which incorporates the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Energy-efficient building design involves minimizing the energy use and optimizing the performance of individual systems and components of the building. The benefits of energyefficient design, in the residential sector, ...
-
(2010-07-14)This dissertation addresses the issues of climate change and depletion of non-renewable resources of energy and water, and aims at eliminating the use of non-renewable resources of energy and water for the building operation ...
-
(2020-12)Currently, the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is the most widely-used residential building energy code in the United States. Either the IECC or IECC with amendments has been adopted by 33 states. The latest ...
-
(2020-08)There are many inverse modeling methods to model the whole building energy use. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and change-point liner regression (CPLR) have been some of the most common methods due to their direct ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000-05)The goal of this study is to develop and validate a computerized model for an energy efficient fenestration system that can easily be incorporated into the architectural design process. This model is for the thermal ...
-
(2020-09-13)The outcome of this study is the development of a prototype REVIT2RADIANCE add-in program for a Building Information Modeling (BIM) authoring tool Autodesk Revit to perform daylighting studies with ease by architects and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In this dissertation I will present and test a model linking actual applicant-interviewer demographic, human capital, and cultural capital similarity to an interviewer's recommendation to hire. Actual similarity is proposed ...

Development of new methodologies for evaluating the energy performance of new commercial buildings (2009-06-02)The concept of Measurement and Verification (M&V) of a new building continues to become more important because efficient design alone is often not sufficient to deliver an efficient building. Simulation models that are ...

-
(2009-05-15)To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
-
(2020-12)Degree day methods are used in the estimation of building energy consumption and climate classification for buildings (e.g. in ASHRAE Standard 169-2013, which is adopted in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016). This study, first ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The purpose of this research is to develop methods that reduce energy consumption in a residential building in a hot and humid climate region (Thailand) using efficient architectural building components and renewable ...
-
(2010-07-14)A methodology to develop an easy-to-use toolkit for the preliminary design of high performance schools in hot and humid climates was presented. The toolkit proposed in this research will allow decision makers without ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Currently, four areas of Texas have been designated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as non-attainment areas because they exceeded the national one-hour ground-level ozone standard of 0.12 ...
-
(2020-12)Occupant behavior has a significant influence on energy consumption in buildings because HVAC, lighting, equipment, and ventilation operations are often tied to occupancy- based controls. However, currently, the traditional ...
