Applications of Physics to Measuring and Improving the Performance of Buildings in Hot, Humid, Hurricane-Prone Climates

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.

*Part of this presentation was supported by the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources through a grant with the U.S. Department of Energy.
