Methodology for Residential Building Energy Simulations Implemented in the International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency in building policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation (SB 5, 77TH Leg., 2001) mandates statewide adoption of energy codes, ...
Analysis of the Energy Savings Potential in K-5 Schools in Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper presents the analysis of the energy savings potential in K-5 schools in hot and humid climates. For the analysis, an existing K-5 school in Central Texas was selected as a case study school, and the building ...
ASHRAE's New Performance Measurement Protocols for Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
ASHRAE, CIBSE and USGBC are developing a standardized, consistent set of protocols to facilitate the comparison of the measured performance of buildings, especially those claimed to be green, sustainable, and/or high ...
Statewide Air Emissions Calculations from Energy Efficiency, Wind and Renewables
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-05)
Analysis of Off-Grid, Off-Pipe Housing for Hot-Humid and Hot-Arid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper investigates the feasibility of off-grid, off-pipe housing in hot-humid and hot-arid climates in the U.S. The study aims to eliminate the need for non-renewable sources of energy and municipal water in residences ...
Validation of the eCALC Commercial Code-Compliant Simulation Versus Measured Data from an Office Building in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper compares the results of a calibrated simulation of a case-study building versus simulation using the web-based eCALC code-compliant commercial simulation program (Haberl et al., 2004). Previously, as-built ...
Development of a Residential Code-compliant Web-based Energy Efficiency Calculator for Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency-in buildings policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation of 2001 mandated statewide adoption of energy codes; created a 5% ...
Detailed Analysis of the Thermal Mass Credits in a Code-Traceable DOE-2 Simulation of the 2001 IECC for a Single-Family Residence in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper presents the results of a study that investigates the thermal mass credits in the 2001 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (ICC 1999, 2001) for a single-family residence in Texas using the DOE-2 building ...
Design, Construction, Transportation, Operation and Post-Occupancy Analysis for the Texas A&M Solar Decathlon House
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper describes the design, construction, transportation, operation and post occupancy analysis of the 2007 Texas A&M Solar Decathlon House (TAMU SD house). The TAMU SD house was developed to be a modular house that ...
Calculating Emissions Reductions from Renewable Energy Programs and its Application to the Wind Farms in the Texas Ercot Region
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
In August 2008 the Texas State Legislature required adding 5,880 MW of generating capacity from renewable energy technologies by 2015, and 500 MW from non-wind renewables. This legislation also required the Public Utility ...
