Mr. Nabinger is currently involved in the Appliance Program at NIST to support the Department of Energy in the accumulation and assessment of test data for clothes washers. This assessment is for the purpose of understanding the performance of current appliances relative to the new performance parameter, Modified Efficiency Factor (MEF), and to understand the relationship of MEF to the old performance parameter, Efficiency Factor (EF). The test data will be used by DOE to set minimum energy standards for clothes washers in terms of MEF. Mr. Nabinger has been involved in the development and promulgation of a “Final Rule” test procedure for measuring the energy efficiency and energy consumption of conventional kitchen cooking appliances. This work involved setting up two laboratory test facilities for testing ranges, ovens, cooking tops and microwave ovens. It has also included extensive review and revision of the test procedures on the way to its approval as Final Rule. Mr. Nabinger is also currently involved in the development and assessment of methods for estimating the level of total volatile organic compounds in indoor air, and continues to work in the area of detection, identification, and quantification of volatile organic compounds affecting the quality of indoor air. Mr. Nabinger continues to be involved in the measurement of air infiltration, ventilation, and air quality of large buildings by use of tracer gas methods. While obtaining his Master of Science degree, Mr. Nabinger was involved in the measurement of indoor pollutant emissions including: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and particulates from EPA Phase II certified wood stoves. Prior to this, he was involved in the development of a local ventilation monitoring system for the assessment of indoor air quality. While obtaining his A.A. degree, Mr. Nabinger worked at the National Bureau of Standards in the Heat Transfer Group where he performed measurements to assist in the determination of a high temperature, low thermal conductivity standard reference material. He also worked in the Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation Group measuring formaldehyde emissions from pressed wood products. |
