Testing Data Acquisition Systems for Use in Monitoring Building Energy Conservation Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Dedicated microprocessor-based data acquisition systems
are beginning to be used to monitor the energy savings from
building energy conservation retrofits. These systems capture
data from important monitoring points and ...
Effects of Radiant Barrier Systems on Ventilated Attics in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of side-by-side radiant barrier experiments using two identical 144 ft2 (nominal) test houses are presented. The test houses responded very similarly to weather variations prior to the retrofit. The temperatures ...
