Applications of Physics to Measuring and Improving the Performance of Buildings in Hot, Humid, Hurricane-Prone Climates
ORAL
Abstract
In this presentation we will present topics showing how physics can be applied to measuring and improving the performance (energy efficiency and durability of the structure, health, safety, and comfort of the occupants) of buildings in hot, humid, hurricane-prone climates representative of the climate in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
