The Design of Ground-Coupled Heat Pump Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Ground-coupled heat pumps are being installed
in increasing numbers due to proven performance and
economy.
The overall thermal resistance between the
ground coupling fluid and a given type of
surrounding soil is affected ...
Hot Thermal Storage/Selective Energy System Reduces Electric Demand for Space Cooling As Well As Heating in Commercial Application
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Based on an experimental residential retrofit
incorporating thermal storage, and extensive subsequent
modeling, a commercial design was developed
and implemented to use hot thermal storage to significantly reduce electric ...
Central Energy Systems - Applications to Economic Development
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
The City of San Antonio's Office of Public
Utilities has developed an innovative process to
assess predesign energy conservation strategies
for new buildings. This assessment also provides
direction for the community's ...
Cool Storage Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Utilities have promoted the use of electric heat and
thermal storage to increase off peak usage of power.
High daytime demand charges and enticing discounts
for off peak power have been used as economic
incentives to promote ...
Optimal Life Cycle Cost Design for an Energy Efficient Manufacturing Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Over the past twelve years, Texas Instruments has developed extensive energy management programs that
have enabled them to reduce energy usage by 42%. Typically, these reductions have been a result of the application of ...
An Assessment of Economic Analysis Methods for Cogeneration Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Cogeneration feasibility studies were conducted
for eleven state agencies of Texas. A net present
value (NPV) analysis was used to evaluate candidate
cogeneration systems and select the optimum system.
CELCAP, an hour-by-hour ...
Graphical Methods in Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
It goes without saying that more efficient use of electrical energy results in savings for both companies and their customers, but effective communication of such information to customers, clients, management, and anyone ...
The Earth-Coupled or Geothermal Heat Pump Air Conditioning System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
As utility costs have risen despite political
campaign promises and energy conserving measures
implemented by the utility companies such as alternative
fuel use (coal and nuclear), co-generation,
etc., homeowners have begun ...
Earth-Coupled Water-Source Heat Pump Research, Design and Applications in Louisiana
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
An earth-coupled water-source heat pump uses
the earth as the thermal source and sink for
economical, energy efficient, space heating and
cooling. Water exiting the heat pump passes through
an earth heat exchanger, which ...
Load Management Made Simple
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Up until the 1970's electric utilities were basically in a
supply side management mode, in which
plants were built to serve whatever
demand customers required. However in the last 10-
15 years, many utilities, including ...
