Daylighting Design Tools in Atria for Minimum Cooling Loads in Atrium Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The daylighting and sunlighting value of an atrium are considered the main reasons for including the atrium use in the built environment. However, most atria today are either overlit, which causes tremendous cooling loads, ...
Evaluation of Energy Conservation Measures by Model Simulation
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998)
Numerous energy conservation
measures are being implemented into the air
handler units of today's commercial buildings.
The economizer cycle has proven potential, and
has become increasingly more common. Work
has also ...
Climate Change: Some Scientific and Political Realities
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
Atmospheric scientists tell us that mankind is changing the climate, and is
setting in motion forces that can make essentially irreversible changes in
the climate of the future. Naysayers dispute whether mankind is ...
Development of a Water Loop Simulation at the Texas A&M University Main Campus
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A computer simulation model is an economic and convenient tool to perform analysis of chilled water loop. The primary objective of this paper is developing procedure for simulating and optimizing chilled water loop with ...
Cooling Tower Operation in the Hot and Humid Climates of Arid Zones
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Air-conditioning (A/C) in Kuwait is a necessity for
comfortable living as the summer is extremely hot.
Dry weather for most of the summer months reflects
the effectiveness of using water-cooled (WC)
systems. Cooling towers ...
Performance Assessment of Photovoltaic Attic Ventilator Fans
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Controlling summer attic heat gain is important to reducing air conditioning energy use in homes in hot-humid climates. Both heat transfer through ceilings and t attic duct systems can make up a large part of peak cooling ...
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 ...
An Analysis of the Residential Energy Savings from the Implementation of the 2001 IECC and 2006 NAECA Appliance Standards in the State of Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper presents results of an analysis of the annual electricity and natural gas savings from implementation of the 2001 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) specifications with updated 2006 specifications for ...
Research Results from A Few Alternate Methods of Interior Duct Systems in Factory Built Housing Located In the Hot Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Building America1 Industrialized Housing Partnership (BAIHP) has collaborated with two of its industry partners to work on a portion of the project that relates to the construction and ...
Airside Economizer – Comparing Different Control Strategies and Common Misconceptions
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
Air-side economizer is broadly adopted in building HVAC design and operations. When the system is properly designed and the control sequence is properly implemented, air-side economizer provides significant energy savings. ...
