I work in a unique Zero Energy Laboratory at the UNT's Discovery Park campus and most of my work has been focused on energy efficiency, condensation control in radiant floor systems and energy modelling using EnergyPlus. I have also worked on computational fluid dynamics modelling on natural ventilation using Solar Chimney in the Zero Energy Lab.
