Minimizing Project Risk Through Financing Strategies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
One of the major barriers to greater corporate investment in energy conservation, cogeneration and alternative energy projects is the level of risk associated with these investments. Potential risks include technical ...
Residential Energy Audits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
A series of events coupled with the last five years experience performing Residential
Conservation Service (RCS) audits have resulted in renewed efforts by utilities to evaluate
the role of residential energy audits. There ...

Cooling Tower Energy Conservation Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Energy conservation strategies involve more than examination of fan horsepower. Colder water and pumping head provide vast savings potentials. What is dollar value of 1°F in your process? What is dollar cost of pumping ...
Behavioral Energy Management: Improving Conservation Behavior and Attitudes with Operant Conditioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
Energy management programs, since their initially glory days, have continued to show “slippage” in their overall effectiveness. The authors discuss behavioral science based ways by which conservation programs can improve ...
