  • A Method for Analysing Climate in Terms of Architectural Responses 
    Brown, G. Z.; Novitski, B. J. (2011-01-21)
    We have developed computer-aided techniques for analysing climates in terms of the combined effects of insulation, air temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity and have linked these to specific architectural ...
  • A Sunlight Design Tool 
    Brown, G. Z.; Wood, D. J.; Brown, A. G. P. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1989)
    Computer-based techniques for Environmental design tend to be analytical. They are aimed at the Engineer who takes a previously designed building and then analyses the environmental performance of the building so as to ...
  • Passive Design Implications Derived from Climate Analysis for Various Locations 
    Brown, G. Z.; Novitski, B. J. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1980-10)
    In earlier work, we have developed methods of describing climate in terms of the interactive effects of insulation, air temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity. By characterizing their effects in terms of the ...

    Since 1989 the U. S. Department of Energy has sponsored a research program organized to improve energy efficiency in industrialized housing. Two research centers share responsibility for the Energy Efficient Industrialized ...
  • Methods of commercializing energy scheming in the BPA region 
    Donaldson, S. A.; Brown, G. Z. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1991-12)
    This report presents an analysis of the costs and benefits of two methods of commercializing Energy Scheming 1.0: • production and distribution by the University of Oregon, and • production and distribution by an ...
  • Integrating an energy evaluation module with a CAD program : a feasibility study 
    Meacham, Matthew A. (Matthew Andy), 1959-; Brown, G. Z. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1991-12)
    The U.S. housing industry appears to be on the brink of extensive computerization as a result of competitive pressures within the U.S.A., and from Europe and Japan. The Japanese lead the U.S. in computerizing the sales ...
  • Review of exemplary sales procedures used by U.S. industrialized housing manufacturers 
    Hulse, David (David W.); Brown, G. Z. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1991-11)
    Since 1989 the U.S. Department of Energy has sponsored a research program organized to improve energy efficiency in industrialized housing. Two research centers share responsibility for the Energy Efficient Industrialized ...

  • Walton Hall Energy Analysis and Conservation Recommendations 
    Brown, G. Z.; Novitski, B. J. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1982-06)
    This report describes the results of an energy use study done on Smith and Sweetser Halls, two residence halls in the Walton Complex, on the University of Oregon campus. It recommends conservation measures in the areas ...
  • A Macintosh Design Studio 
    Brown, G. Z.; Novitski, B. J. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1988)
    During the past year at the University of Oregon, we have conducted an experimental design studio in which each student had an Apple Macintosh SE microcomputer on his or her studio desk. Each term we experimented with a ...
  • Composite Industrialized Energy Efficient Construction for Housing: Case Studies of Recent Danish and Swedish Housing Projects and Implications for U.S. Multi-Family Housing 
    Finrow, Jerry V. (Center for Housing Innovation, University of Oregon, 1990)
    The countries of Scandinavia have been on the leading edge of housing design including construction technology for the past 20 years. In Denmark, housing innovation such as the current "co-housing" movement, has been and ...
