Development of an Automated Methodology for Calibration of Simplified Air-Side HVAC System Models and Estimation of Potential Savings from Retrofit/Commissioning Measures
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation provides one methodology to determine potential energy savings
of buildings with limited information. This methodology is based upon the simplified
energy analysis procedure of HVAC systems and the control ...
A Methodology to Pre-Screen Commercial Buildings for Potential Energy Savings Using Limited Information
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Typical energy audits are sufficiently expensive and time-consuming that many
owners and managers of buildings are not willing to invest the time and money required
for a full audit. This dissertation provides a methodology ...
The Development of Comprehensive Community NOx Emissions Reduction Toolkit (CCNERT)
(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 ...
An Evaluation of the Bioclimatic Chart for Choosing Design Strategies for a Thermostatically-Controlled Residence in Selected Climates
(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, ...
An Investigation of Methods for Reducing the Use of Non-Renewable Energy Resources for Housing in Thailand
(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 ...
Systematic Approach for Chemical Reactivity Evaluation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Under certain conditions, reactive chemicals may proceed into uncontrolled chemical reaction pathways with rapid and significant increases in temperature, pressure, and/or gas evolution. Reactive chemicals have been ...
