A Calibration Methodology for Retrofit Projects Using Short-Term Monitoring and Disaggregated Energy Use Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
This paper presents an improved methodology to
calibrate energy simulation models to better represent
the actual energy use breakdowns in existing buildings.
The goal of this methodology is to help architects
and engineers ...
Evaluation of Lightshelf Daylighting Systems for Office Buildings in Hot Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
This paper presents part of an on-going research
project in the College of Architecture at Texas A&M
University. This research investigates how lightshelf
daylighting delivery systems can manipulate sunlight
and daylight ...
The Framework of an Optimization Model for the Thermal Design of Building Envelopes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
Careful long term decisions in the design and
operation of buildings can significantly improve the
thermal performance and thus reduce the
consumption of energy. The availability and ease of
use of today's computers can ...
Effectiveness of External Window Attachments Based on Daylight Utilization and Cooling Load Reduction for Small Office Buildings in Hot Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
This study explored the effectiveness of
selected external shading devices and glazing
treatments used to minimize the total annual energy
consumption in small office buildings in hot humid
climates. The external shading ...
Conductive Thermal Interaction in Evaporative Cooling Process
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
It has long been recognized that evaporative cooling is an effective and
logical substitute for mechanical cooling
in hot-arid climates. This paper explores
the application of evaporative coolers to
the hot-humid climates ...
Daylighting Design Tools in Atria for Minimum Cooling Loads in Atrium Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The daylighting and sunlighting value of an atrium are considered the main reasons for including the atrium use in the built environment. However, most atria today are either overlit, which causes tremendous cooling loads, ...
