  • Computer Suported Face-to-Face Meeting Environment for Architectural Design Collaboration
    1999
    Co-Authors: Shigeyuki And Toizumi Yamaguchi
    Abstract:

    This paper describes our current work in the development of a collaborative design meeting environment which includes hardware and software. It attempts to support the design collaboration in face-to-face meetings, instead of collaboration in Cyberspace. Pinup walls, a meeting table, white boards are metaphors on the proposed system. Digitized design information, CAD drawings, CG pictures or movies and other documents could be accessible to members sitting for testing, simulating, evaluating design ideas or concepts on the projected video screen using Installed Program modules or off-the-shelf application Programs. They could concentrate on discussing design issues, without interruptions caused by looking for some lost information and preparing design models or documents at their desks.

  • Two energy-efficient showerhead Programs: Post-retrofit field observations
    1993
    Co-Authors: S.a. Bailey
    Abstract:

    Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) has analyzed two Northwest utility-sponsored energy-efficient showerhead retrofit Programs since 1992. In the first Program, PNL retrofitted 105 residences in the Pacific Northwest that are end-use metered under the Regional End-Use Metering Program (REMP) study sponsored by the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville). In the second Program, PNL performed verification site visits on a sample of 100 participants in a utility-sponsored showerhead retrofit Program in the Puget Sound area. PNL conducted the site visits to verify the installation and persistence of energy-efficient showerheads distributed by a local utility. In the first retrofit Program, showerheads were professionally Installed. PNL`s analyses focused on determining sample participation rates, installation rates, and the actual flow rates before and after retrofit. In the second retrofit Program, more than 75% of the showerheads were occupant-Installed. Analysis efforts focused on installation rates, presistence rates, and customer response to energy-efficient showerheads. Both Programs resulted in persistence rates of more than 90%. However, the customer-Installed Program yielded a 30% overall effectiveness by home, and the professional-Installed Program yielded 88% effectiveness, or nearly three times that of the customer-Installed Program. This paper will give an overview of the two field studies, compare and contrast the field data,more » discuss installation and presistence rates, and estimate, based on field data alone, the Program effectiveness associated with the different distribution methods.« less
