A Framework to Improve the Control System Design for Integrated Residential Heating Systems in Cold Regions
DownloadFall 2013
Building space heating contributes to high consumption of energy using primarily non- renewable sources. This thesis presents a research study evaluating the design and performance of an integrated heating system utilizing the renewable energy sources of geothermal energy, solar energy, and drain...

A framework to quantify the economic impact of changing the road pavement standard and related municipal bylaws on housing affordability in cold weather regions
DownloadFall 2015
Jurisdictions in winter regions impose restrictions on asphalt paving of neighbourhood roadways based on severity of cold weather. These limitations are imposed mainly to avoid the inadequate compaction of asphalt that results in poor performance of roads. Paving restrictions during the weather...

A fuzzy consensus building framework for early alignment of construction project teams on the extent of their roles and responsibilities
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis presents a Fuzzy Consensus Building Framework (FCBF), which enables construction project parties to align their teams on their roles and responsibilities early on in their projects. The framework introduces a model that (1) incorporates consensus of construction project teams in...

A Fuzzy Hybrid Intelligent Model for Project Competencies and Performance Evaluation and Prediction in the Construction Industry
DownloadSpring 2016
In contemporary construction environments, construction companies measure their performance against a set of predefined performance indicators. These performance indicators are governed by the ability of the company to maintain necessary sets of “competencies” that empower the successful...

Fall 2015
The interaction between operator input, machine and operating surface is highly complex and varied. Time based equipment evaluation metrics are limited in the type of information they can convey. A common alternative to time based evaluation is mechanical modeling, however; these models can be...

A Geomechanically-Constrained Dynamic Fractal Wormhole Growth Model for Simulating Cold Heavy Oil Production with Sand (CHOPS)
DownloadSpring 2019
Cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) is a non-thermal primary process that is widely adopted in many weakly consolidated heavy oil deposits around the world. However, only approximately 5 to 15% of the initial oil in place is typically recovered. Several solvent-assisted schemes are...
