Conserving Energy in Residential Construction in Hot, Humid Climates

ORAL

Abstract

Reducing the need for energy is more cost-effective than installing renewable energy generation capacity. In this presentation I will discuss how, using basic physics principles, cost-effective measures can improve the performance (energy efficiency and durability of the structure) as well as the health, and comfort of the occupants, in buildings in hot, humid, climates.
