    • Energy Management Program at Atlanta Postal Service Distribution Center 
      Brown, M.; Ansari, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
      The US Postal Service operates more than 38,000 post offices across the country and spends $350 million annually on utilities (1). Driven by President Clinton's 1999 Executive Order that mandates a 35 percent reduction in ...
    • Environmental Effects of In-House Windrow Composting of Poultry Litter 
      Wagner, K.; Brown, M.; Gregory, L.; Harmel, D.; Coufal, C.; Gentry, T. (Texas Water Resources Institute, 2013-12)
    • Implementing MSE 2000: Procedures 
      Brown, M.; Adams, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2000-04)
      Historically, energy management has relied almost exclusively on short-term, crisis driven approaches. Many times these are high cost technology driven approaches while low capital opportunities are overlooked. Unfortunately, ...
    • Incremental Implementation of Energy Management at Industrial Facilities 
      Brown, M.; Key, G. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
      The essential elements of a sustainable energy management program at industrial facilities are defined in the ANSI/MSE 2000 Management System for Energy standard document. Although many organizations have expressed interest ...
    • A Novel Approach to Determining Motor Load 
      Brown, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
      Properly sized electric motors are essential if industrial plant efficiency is to be optimized and energy costs minimized. Because of the difficulty in making power measurements on three phase motors, loading is rarely, ...
    • Novel Approaches to Conserve Energy in Textile Processing Through The Use Of Supercritical Fluids 
      Brown, M.; Sikorski, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
      The most energy intensive operation in textile processing, accounting for almost sixty percent of the industry wide consumption, is drying. Drying is prevalent because water is the carrier for dye, size, and other finishes. ...
