RISAnalyzing the Multiscale Impacts of Implementing Energy-Efficient HVAC Improvements Through Energy Audits and Economic Input–Output Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems are usually an industry’s highest consumer of energy, most of which goes toward space cooling in buildings. Industrial energy-efficiency audits not only benefit ...
Building Energy Savings and Power Output Augmentation of Roof Mounted Photovoltaic Using Co-Located Rooftop Reflectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on building rooftops yield a positive influence on the thermal performance of the building due to the shading of the PV panels, decreasing cooling loads while causing a smaller increase ...
Techno-Economic Impact Assessments of Energy Efficiency Improvements in the Industrial Combustion Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Industrial energy efficiency assessments not only provide benefits to manufacturers but also generate significant economic and environmental benefits to localities, states, and the nation through indirect and induced ...
Submesoscale Dynamics in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Part III: Lagrangian Implications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractFour numerical simulations are used to characterize the impact of submesoscale circulations on surface Lagrangian statistics in the northern Gulf of Mexico over 2 months, February and August, representative of ...
Prioritizing Design for Environment Strategies Using a Stochastic Analytic Hierarchy Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a framework for applying design for environment (DfE) within an industry setting. Our aim is to couple implicit design knowledge such as redesign/process constraints with quantitative measures of ...
Impacts of Convergence on Structure Functions from Surface Drifters in the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There are limitations in approximating Eulerian statistics from surface drifters, due to biases from surface convergences. By contrasting second- and third-order Eulerian and surface drifter structure functions obtained ...
Submesoscale Dynamics in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Part II: Temperature–Salinity Relations and Cross-Shelf Transport Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper, the second of three, investigates submesoscale dynamics in the northern Gulf of Mexico under the influence of the Mississippi?Atchafalaya River system, using numerical simulations at 500-m horizontal ...
