Thermal Characteristics and Systems of Residential Construction in College Station, Texas: 1981-1986
Abstract
This paper examines the energy efficiency
of residential construction in College
Station from 1981-1986. Housing sizes,
location, and construction activity by
various contractors are described using
data summarized from the College Station
building permit book for this period. Site
visits were made to apartments in complexes
with over 20 percent of the multi-family
units built during 1981-1986 and to
selected single-family houses built by
contractors responsible for over 25 percent
of the single-family construction during
this period. The information obtained on
these visits was used to define the thermal.
characteristics and systems of base cases
representative of below-average and average
multi-family units, and average and above
average single-family units.
