Determining Longwave Radiative Properties Of Flat Shading Materials
(2008-08)Solar gain through fenestration has a significant impact on building peak load and annual energy consumption. Shading devices, attached to fenestration, offer a cost effective strategy in controlling solar gain. The ... -
Determining Off-Normal Solar Optical Properties of Drapery Fabrics
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2009)The determination of off-normal solar optical properties of drapery fabrics is particularly useful in modelling the effective solar optical properties of pleated drapery. Special sample holders were designed and fabricated ... -
An Examination of Keyes Universal Chart: 50 Years Later
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2016-01)From the late 1940's to the late 1960's, significant efforts were made by ASHVE and then ASHRAE to evaluate and quantify the impact of window shading. In the context of the now defunct Shading Coefficient, well known ... -
Soft Materials under Air Blast Loading and Their Effect on Primary Blast Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-07)Injury from blast is significant in both military and civilian environments. Although injuries from blast are well-documented, the mechanisms of injury are not well understood. Developing better protection requires knowledge ...
