RISApplication of Deep Energy Retrofits to Allow Existing Housing in Toronto to Meet Passive House Certification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study researches the development of a multiobjective optimization environment to continue the investigation of the potential for housing in Toronto to meet Passive House certification. BEopt (Building Energy Optimizer) ...
The Transfer of Energy and Momentum by the Wind to the Surface Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the initial stages of the deepening of the surface mixed layer, the rate of increase of potential energy is proportional to the input of energy to the mixed layer by the wind. In an attempt to reconcile an apparent ...
Obliquely Rotated Principal Components: An Improved Meteorological Map Typing Technique?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A detailed analysis of obliquely rotated principal components as a map typing technique was performed. This type of transformation does not constrain orthogonality of the vectors, allowing the components or map types the ...

On the Application of Cluster Analysis to Growing Season Precipitation Data in North America East of the Rockies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cluster analysis (CA) has been applied to geophysical research for over two decades although its popularity has increased dramatically over the past few years. To date, systematic methodological reviews have not appeared ...
Prioritizing Method for Retrofitting Toronto’s Single-Family Housing Stock to Reduce Heating and Cooling Loads
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study analyzes simulated secondary (site) energy consumption before and after applying a series of building envelope retrofits to inform a prioritized list of retrofit options tailored to one of four single-family ...
Relationships between the Definition of the Hyperplane Width to the Fidelity of Principal Component Loading Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When applying eigenanalysis, one decision analysts make is the determination of what magnitude an eigenvector coefficient (e.g., principal component (PC) loading) must achieve to be considered as physically important. Such ...
Life Cycle Operating Carbon Impact of a Standardized Passive House in Various Canadian Climates
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Over the past 10 years in Europe and North America, passive house standards have become the leading high-performance building standards. Although site energy metrics are paramount in these standards, the roots are in ...
The Effects of Contact Lens Deformation on Tear Film Pressure and Thickness During Motion of the Lens Towards the Eye
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analysis is made of the motion of a contact lens normal to the eye through a tear film. The eye is modeled as a rigid sphere and the lens as a deformable spherical cap. Graphs of ...
Gravity-Driven Granular Flows of Smooth, Inelastic Spheres Down Bumpy Inclines
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We employ a kinetic constitutive theory that includes the effects of particle transport and collisions to analyze steady, fully developed, gravity-driven flows of smooth, inelastic spheres down ...
