The proposed project will develop climate similarity index- ing that will alow the development of energy design guidelines for residential, commercial, transportation and agricultural buildings and shelters. the climate similarity indexing approach is based on the analysis of tmy weather files to… More

The proposed project will develop an integrated building energy evaluation program, to be applied to large buildings that determines the overall building energy efficiency and diagnoses specific sources of energy inefficiency. the approach is to measure and calculate an overall building energy… More

The proposed project will develop a new daylighting design method based on a "lumen-day" concept. the essence of the lumen-day method is a statistical climatic data base, similar in concept to the heating and cooling degree-day method of energy analysis, generated through the interrogation and… More

The proposed project will develop a video based computer image processing system consisting of a 180 degrees lens and video camera which is linked to a video recorder and micro-computer. the video recorder allows for storage of the images while the micro-computer allows rapid real-time assessment of… More

The objective of the proposed project is to develop a comprehensive acceptance test procedure that determines whether air distribution systems in new buildings are installed properly and operating in an energy efficient manner. the approch is to measure critical energy, flow, pressure and… More

Inadequate student performance and a lack of qualified teachers have been identified as problems in science and math education. microcomputer-based laboratories (mbls) were developed to give students a hands-on learning method and have been shown to improve student performance. electronic… More
