Daylighting Analysis through Scale Model, Full Scale Measurements and Computer Analysis for a Texas A&M University Campus Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
In the first part of this study, daylighting levles in an actualy classroom are compared to scale model measurements and to computer program predictions.
Secondly, the daylighting effects in the building atrium are examined ...
Evaporative Roof Cooling - A Simple Solution to Cut Cooling Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Since the "Energy Crisis" Evaporative Roof
Cooling Systems have gained increased acceptance
as a cost effective method to reduce the high cost
of air conditioning. Documented case histories in
retrofit installations show ...
Case Study: Passive Solar Concepts Adapted to In-Fill Housing in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
In-fill housing for central city areas appears
to be an answer to the continuing need for compact,
affordable dwelling unite that will improve the

city areas in Louisiana ...
Design Tools for Evaluating Alternative Strategies' Impact on Human Comfort
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Many designers recognize that energy
savings can be achieved with alternative or
innovative strategies; however, few design
tools have been available to assist
designers with evaluating alternatives.
This paper demonstrates ...
Avoided Gigawatts Through Utility Capital Recovery Fees
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Electric rate structures can be used to provide
customers with the proper pricing signals as well as

Operating Experience and Economic Assessment of Commercial and Industrial Cool Storage Systems - TVA Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Thermal storage systems offer utilities a
means to change the energy use patterns of both
residential and commercial and industrial (C&I)
customers by moving water-heating and space-conditioning
loads from peak to offpeak ...
Pitfalls in Building and HVAC Audits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
The purpose of an energy audit is to identify
and analyze areas of energy consumption and to propose
methods of conservation. In the process of
completing an audit the following areas of consumption
should be considered:
0 ...
Rebates: The Energy Efficiency Measure that Can Make a Major Difference
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Attempts to involve tenants in energy conservation efforts have three principal directions:
(a) transfer of the burden of payment from owner
to occupants; (b) remote control of space heat by
energy management systems or ...
Theory vs. Practice in Direct Evaporative Roof Spray Cooling
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
This paper will examine in depth the development
of roof spray cooling in this country and elsewhere,
the theory and practice of roof cooling, and the
limits of system application.
While this relatively simple method of ...
Conserve Energy by Optimizing Air Compressor System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
There are many opportunities to conserve energy within an Industrial Plant without adversely impacting the operation or production. Many of these represent only relatively small savings, when compared to the overall utility ...
