Tips for daylighting with windows

These guidelines provide an integrated approach to the cost-effective design of perimeter zones in new commercial buildings and existing building retrofits. They function as a quick reference for building designers, through a set of easy steps and rules-of-thumb, emphasizing “how-to” practical details. References are given to more detailed sources of information, should the reader wish to go further. The design method used in this document emphasizes that building decisions should be made within the context of the whole building as a single functioning system rather than as an assembly of distinct parts. This integrated design approach looks at the ramifications of each individual system decision on the whole building. For example, the decision on glazing selection will have an effect on lighting, mechanical systems, and interior design. Therefore, the entire design team should participate and influence this glazing decision—which typically rests with the architect alone. The benefit of an integrated design approach is a greater chance of success towards long-term comfort and sustained energy savings in the building.

Simulation and Field Evaluation Support for ESTCP Dynamic Windows: Cooperative Research and Development Final Report, CRADA Number CRD-12-492

We will leverage new building performance and daylighting simulation tools to characterize the performance of a new electrochromic (EC) glazing as well as perform a field evaluation of the same product installed in a DoD facility. The in situ data will be used to validate and calibrate the simulation model, which will then be used to extrapolate the performance of the product across all US climate zones. The property as part of this agreement will be installed at MCAS Miramar, California.

Radiometer Calibration and Characterization (RCC) User's Manual: Windows Version 4.0

The Radiometer Calibration and Characterization (RCC) software is a data acquisition and data archival system for performing Broadband Outdoor Radiometer Calibrations (BORCAL). RCC provides a unique method of calibrating broadband atmospheric longwave and solar shortwave radiometers using techniques that reduce measurement uncertainty and better characterize a radiometer's response profile. The RCC software automatically monitors and controls many of the components that contribute to uncertainty in an instrument's responsivity. This is a user's manual and guide to the RCC software.

Open Secondary Testing of Window-Type Current Transformers

Two AMRAN Current Transformers (CTs) were tested to characterize the propensity of an opencircuited CT secondary to cause a fire in a location remote to the open circuit. Also evaluated was the magnitude of the secondary winding peak (crest) voltage when the CT’s secondary circuit transitioned to an open circuit condition, and its dependencies on the primary voltage, primary current and the CT’s turn ratio.

Opacity: A window into High Energy Density Plasma Physics

Opacity is a fundamental property of matter and knowledge of it is required to understand the transport of radiation through a material. Exact knowledge of opacity is crucial in many fields such as astrophysics, which recently produced a white paper on the current state of astrophysical opacities [1], plasma physics, including inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and magnetic confinement fusion, high energy density physics (HEDP), the semiconductor industry [2] and stockpile stewardship. In industry, the accurate knowledge of the opacity of tin is important for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography and the development of processors with smaller components. In astrophysics, Cepheid variable stars are used as “standard candles” for determining the distance to objects. Opacities of these stars are required to understand the relationship between their periodicity, luminosity and distance. Our sun is the most studied star and provides the basis of our understanding for other stars. Yet in significant ways the sun is poorly understood. In recent years, there has been a debate over the abundances of heavy elements (Z > 2) in the solar interior. Current solar atmosphere models [3] find a significantly lower abundance for C, N, and O compared to models used roughly a decade ago. Although solar evolution models have matured, a discrepancy still exists between spectroscopic solar models (which require opacities) with updated abundances, and solar properties inferred from helioseismology and neutrinos [4]. Despite its necessity, opacity is not solved, and is an open and active area of research needed for improving our understanding of plasma physics.

Opening Markets, Designing Windows, and Closing Gates: India's Power System Transition - Insights on Gate Closure

This report explores the concept of gate closure, the time at which market participants must submit their final bids and offers for electricity. Gate closure is typically considered a minor feature of market design, but its implementation could be pivotal to how power markets will operate under high penetrations of renewable energy. This report analyzes global experiences with gate closure, and then reviews the unique benefits, challenges, and other considerations that will impact the implementation of gate closure in the Indian electricity market.

Effects of Electron Irradiation on Candidate Materials for Target Window in Accelerator-Driven Mo-99 Production

Room-temperature (RT) axial tensile tests were conducted in 2018 and 2021 with flat, sub-sized, dog-boned samples of non-irradiated and irradiated Inconel 718 and irradiated beryllium (Be). The sample gauge length was 7.62 mm. Tensile properties of interest are the engineering yield stress (YS), ultimate tensile stress (UTS), uniform elongation (UE) and total elongation (TE). The electron dose of the 2021 samples was ≈2 times the dose of samples tested in 2018. Relative dose rates of 0, 1 (2018), and 2 (2021) are assigned to these samples. The 2021 electron-irradiated Be samples were brittle with a low failure stress of 338±64 MPa based on two samples. The failures occurred in the gauge section. The 2018 results for electron-irradiated Be indicated a slight decrease in ductility and strength for the one electron-irradiated sample that failed in the gauge section.

Experimental Study of Fixed Plate Insert for Window Protection

Evidenced from experiments to date, NorthStar can expect that potentially significant changes in the target cooling passages are likely due to disk shape changes by thermal distortions or breakage. In the bulk of the target the result will be increased He flow in some channels and decreased flow in others.
