Dr. Claridge is internationally known for his work over the last 15 years directing the development and participating in the implementation of the Continuous Commissioning® process for improving the comfort and energy efficiency of buildings. It has been applied in well over 300 large buildings that include higher education facilities, military facilities, medical facilities, and office buildings. He has made major contributions to the analysis of heat transfer between buildings and ground and to the analysis of air leakage in buildings. He is also a world leader in development and application of measurement and verification techniques to determine savings from efficiency projects.
He has taught numerous commissioning workshops and is the author of well over 300 journal and conference papers. He had 10 years of experience in the HVAC field, prior to coming to Texas A&M in 1986. He frequently gives presentations at national and international conferences and is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers and is active nationally in both societies.
