This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.

Performance and Cost Analysis of Utilizing Potable Water as a Hydronic Medium in Multi-unit Residential Buildings
DownloadSpring 2019
to establish a cumulative distribution function of the direct comparison of long-term costs between two systems. This allows the evaluator to not only establish the probability that one system will have a lower life cycle cost over another system, but also the degree of savings.
residential buildings of various sizes. Although the technique has been utilized for many years, the performance and efficiency, the effects of using potable water as a hydronic medium on water quality, and the long-term operational cost implications have yet to be explored through dedicated research. This
building. This involves establishing the building efficiency as steady state efficiency and a standby loss, a methodology previously presented for individual appliances, but not explored for both the heating and cooling performances of complete building systems. The impact on the palatability of the water
