(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
This paper presents information about the energy saving potential for single-family residential buildings in Houston, Texas that are designed to be 15% above code. The energy efficient measures discussed in this paper were ...
Methodology to Calculate NOx Emissions Reductions from the Implementation of the 2000 IECC/IRC Conservation Code in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Four areas in Texas have been designated
by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) as non-attainment areas because
ozone levels exceed the National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) maximum allowable
limits. ...
Analysis of Emissions Calculators for a National Center of Excellence on Displaced Emissions Reductions (CEDER)
(2008-07-18)
In August 2004, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued guidance on quantifying the air emissions benefits from electric sector energy efficiency and renewable energy. Because there was no clear best strategy, ...
