Methodology to Calculate NOx Emissions Reductions from the Implementation of the 2000 IECC/IRC Conservation Code in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Four areas in Texas have been designated
by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as non-attainment areas because
ozone levels exceed the National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) maximum allowable
limits. ...
Daylighting Prediction Software: Comparative Analysis and Application
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Daylighting is a beneficial design strategy since
