Teaching Materials

For his classes, Dr. Krarti has developed teaching materials that include:

  • “Energy Audit for Building Systems: An Engineering Approach” M. Krarti, textbook, CRC Press, 500 pages, published in 2000. This book is used to teach CVEN 5020.

  • “Energy Efficient Building Electrical Systems” M. Krarti, textbook, 494 pages, Taylor and Francis, published in 2017. This textbook in used in AREN 4570.

  • Lectures Notes for AREN 2110 and AREN 2120 to facilitate understanding of materials related to Thermodynamics, Fluids, and Heat Transfer.

  • “Analytical and Numerical Techniques for Thermal Analysis of Buildings” class notes for CVEN 5070 and CVEN 5080 to overview the various solution techniques used to model building energy systems.

  • A program to estimate building foundation heat loss/gain based on the Inter-zone Temperature Profile Estimation (ITPE) technique. This tool is used as part of CVEN 5070 and CVEN 5080.

  • A series of training guides for VisualDOE (a computer simulation tool for building energy systems). These guides are used for CVEN 5020 and CVEN 5080.

  • Helped developed a computer program called “ParamDOE” to carry out several (over 100) parametric runs using DOE-2.1E simulation program. This tool is used in CVEN 5080.
