The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration Under Dynamic Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Energy consumption due to air infiltration is customarily assumed to equal the mass flow rate times the specific enthalpy difference between the inside and outside air. Anderlind showed theoretically that this represents ...
Disaggregating Cooling Energy Use of Commercial Buildings Into Sensible and Latent Fractions From Whole-Building Monitored Data: Methodology and Advantages
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot and humid climates, where summers are both warm and humid, the latent cooling can be a significant portion of the total cooling load (as much as 40%). Typically the monitored data only includes whole-building heating ...
Survey of Energy Use in Grocery Stores
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents the results of an energy use survey assembled for 93 grocery stores in south Texas. All stores were of the same chain. Several conclusions were drawn. Total electricity consumption per square foot is ...
Cooling-Only Prism Analysis of Eleven College Station Homes and Interpretation of Building Physical Parameters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
A cooling-only PRISM analysis has been
performed on eleven new residences in College
Station using electricity billing data over an entire
year. This study revealed that, provided one corrects
for effects such as vacation ...

Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Theory and Model Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Optimal hot and cold deck reset schedules
can decrease simultaneous heating and cooling
in VAV AHUs comparing with constant cold
deck temperature operation. In this paper,
optimization models are developed. The energy
impacts ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)
At the request of the Energy Management and Operations Department at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the Energy Systems Laboratory of Texas A&M University performed a study of optimizing the HVAC operation at its Basic Research ...
Report of Energy Efficiency Study and Metering/Utilities Profile for Electric Deregulation at Tarleton State University (TSU), Stephenville, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1999)
The director of Energy Management & Controls and staff at Tarleton State University (TSU) do a very good job of maintaining TSU and keeping expenses down. They have metering installed in many buildings and track the campus ...
Development of Baseline Monthly Utility Models for Fort Hood, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Fort Hood Army base in central
Texas has more than 5,200 buildings and can be
considered as typical of large Department of
Defense Army bases in the continental United
States. The annual utility bill of the base ...
Use of EMCS Recorded Data to Identify Potential Savings Due to Improved HVAC Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
In most chiller and boiler central plants, the
energy management and control systems (EMCS)
monitor and record key operation parameters and
energy production continuously. A method was
developed to identify potential O&M ...
