Technical report detailing a study in which actual cooling loads are compared to modeled cooling loads.

Report outlining the issues with using existing ducts with a new low-load HVAC system, which reduces throw at supply registers causing decreased mixing of supply and room air, leading to potential thermal comfort complaints.

This study evaluates the energy, humidity and indoor air quality implications of residential ventilation cooling in all US IECC climate zones.

Article describing RESNET guidance on evaporative coolers.

This report investigates whether mini-split heat pumps can live up to their potential for one market segment: multifamily retrofits.

Report discussing the benefits of modern evaporative cooling systems for use in hot dry climate zones.

This study used an advanced airflow, energy and humidity modeling tool to evaluate the potential for residential mechanical pre-scooling strategies to reduce peak electriciy demand.

Report evaluating mechanical AC precooling strategies in homes as a method for improving the load factor by shifting cooling operation from on-peak to off-peak hours.

Study conducted to help determine cost-effective solutions for heating and cooling houses that are designed to be energy efficient.

This study uses a computer simulation approach to examine the energy and indoor air quality implications of passive and hybrid ventilation systems.
