Traditionally, conventional cooling systems have been considered adequate for meeting dehumidification loads even in the most humid climates. However, as high-efficiency home designs have reduced sensible loads and codes have begun requiring continuous outdoor ventilation air, high indoor humidity...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 9

In this paper, we present a demonstration project in which advanced metering and communications technology, time-sensitive pricing, sensors and control systems are combined cost-effectively in a unique way to enable multifamily apartment residents, owners, the utility grid and society to achieve...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 10

We present measurements of three recent vintage dishwashers of very different efficiencies showing that while they are substantially more efficient than older dishwashers, those tested will still use electric resistance elements for supplemental heat, even when supplied by solar water heating...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 11

Standard residential vapor compression cooling systems provide a mix of sensible cooling (lowering indoor temperature) and latent cooling (removing moisture at the evaporator coil). These systems operate at a sensible heat ratio1 (SHR) of about 0.75 to 0.85, depending upon indoor and to a lesser...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 12

In recent years there has been increased interest in the impacts of refrigerant charge and indoor coil airflow on heat pump performance in heating mode in the Pacific Northwest. The published literature contains almost no studies of this nature. As a first step to remedy this problem, extensive...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 13

Many national building science experts recommend the best way to increase HVAC system efficiency is by moving the air handler and ductwork from unconditioned space to inside the home (ASHRAE 2004). Techniques for moving the HVAC system within the conditioned space are well known, and the costs for...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 14

This paper describes the design and application of a self-supporting and insulated panelized residential roof/attic system. An overview of the design methodology is presented for a panel concept that has been prototyped and tested for structural performance. The truss core concept has separate...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 15

Prototype residential roof and attic assemblies were constructed and field tested in a mixed-humid U.S. climate. Summer field data showed that at peak day irradiance the heat transfer penetrating the roof deck dropped almost 90% compared with heat transfer for a conventional roof and attic assembly...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 16

Air conditioner energy efficiency ratings generally decrease by 2 to 8% per ton as the cooling capacity increases, and most residential and commercial air conditioners in the United States are oversized by 25 to 50%. Published field studies from pilot programs in hot climates have reported peak...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 17

An experimental evaluation has been conducted on a night sky cooling system designed to substantially reduce space cooling needs in homes in North American climates. The system uses a sealed attic covered by a highly conductive metal roof (a roof integrated radiator) which is selectively linked by...
