Thesame procedure was repeated for locations “C” and “D”.The last part of the test was done with no steam injection. All four steam injection holes werecovered with soil and temperatures were recorded for 21 minutes. At the 14 minute mark TC1,TC2, and TC3 were disconnected from TC meters, TM4 was replaced with TC4 and all fourthermocouples were connected to a data acquisition (DAQ) computer that tracked thetemperatures overnight. Once the steam generator had cooled off the water was removed andmeasured. A total of 23 oz (0.680 kg) of water was used during this

. Figure 1. (a) average indoor and outdoor temperatures and (b) daily energy consumption (kWh) From Figure 1, it was observed that decreasing the house temperature (Tin) required higher cooling loadsand thus the consumed “kWh” was increased. However, sometimes while keeping the house interiortemperature fixed at a certain temperature during different days, the “kWh” has increased due to higher 5outdoor temperatures. Thus, both the indoor and outdoor temperatures and maybe the relative humidity,which was not measured or tracked, should be considered when designing for a thermal comfort zone.A second step toward analyzing the results of this project was by looking into tariff rates for each
