(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)The regulated utility monopoly, with its defined and quasi-permanent rate schedules has, in many places, become a thing of the past. Therefore, determining the benefits of various facility operating options is no longer a ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)Regression models of measured energy use in buildings are widely used as baseline models to determine retrofit savings from measured energy consumption. It is less expensive to determine savings from monthly utility bills ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)Architects in hot climates have long recognized that reflective roof colors can reduce building cooling load. Experimentation spanning nearly three decades has shown that white roofing surfaces can significantly reduce ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)Electric utilities have had a number of air conditioner rebate and maintenance programs for many years. The purpose of these programs was to improve the efficiency of the stock of air conditioning equipment and provide ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)In the theory and modeling part, the principles of VAV box optimization are investigated. The simulations show that optimizing cold and hot deck reset schedules can significantly reduce the amount of energy consumption. During ...
-
(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 University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)Air static pressure must be maintained at a certain level leaving the air-handing unit (AHU) to force a suitable amount of air through the terminal boxes. However, an excessive static pressure level is often used due to ( ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)The impacts of the water loop management on the heating and cooling energy consumption are investigated by using model simulation. The simulation results show that the total thermal energy consumption can be increased by ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)Design conditions based on the meteorological data collected at two weather stations located less than 10 km away from each other within Kuwait City are presented for dry-bulb temperature (DBT) and web-bulb temperature ...

The Importance of Using an Air Barrier in Residential Housing Construction in Hot and Humid Climates (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)Air leakage in buildings located in hot and humid climates can result in excessive energy costs. Additionally, if uncontrolled moisture carried on air currents condenses within building components, it can potentially lead ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)In a VAV (variable air volume) system, the set point of the static pressure (usually measured at 213 downstream of the main supply air duct) is maintained by modulating the fan speed or inlet guide vane position. The set ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)This paper describes an improved multipyranometer array (MPA) for the continuous remote measurement of direct and diffuse solar radiation. The MPA described in this paper is an improvement over previously published MPA ...
