Industrial Energy: Counseling the Marriage Between Energy Users and Efficiency Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
Industrial energy users and the efficiency programs that serve them enjoy a long and storied partnership. Each partner operates with the best of intentions, but with agendas that are not always reconcilable. At best, this ...
Optimized Design of a Furnace Cooling System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
This paper presents a case study of manufacturing furnace optimized re-design. The bottleneck in the production process is the cooling of heat treatment furnaces. These ovens are on an approximate 24-hour cycle, heating ...
Lean, Energy, and Savings: Energy Impacts of Lean Manufacturing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
Most utility energy efficiency programs for industry focus on equipment replacement. A key result is confidence in the amount of resulting energy savings. Utility programs focusing on behavior - that is, using a piece of ...

Thermal Energy Storage: It's not Just for Electric Cost Savings Anymore
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2014)
Large cool Thermal Energy Storage (TES), typically ice TES or chilled water (CHW) TES, has traditionally been thought of, and used for, managing time-of-day electricity use to reduce the cost associated with electric energy ...
A New Approach for Determining Optimal Air Compressor Location in A Manufacturing Facility to Increase Energy Efficiency
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2014)
An approach is proposed to determine the optimal air compressor location in a manufacturing facility. The optimization strategy is based on an objective function that minimizes the total energy consumption of the air ...
ISO 50001- Case Studies and Lessons Learned so Far
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2014)
ISO 50001:2011 - Energy Management Systems - Requirements with Guidance for Use was published as a voluntary international standard in June 2011. Companies are slowly beginning to consider use of the standard, and a few ...
Embedding Sustainability into Manufacturing Organizations
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2014)
While definitions of sustainability and sustainable development vary to a certain extent, manufacturing
organizations tend to define sustainability as the triple bottom line - pursuing profitability, environmental ...
