Comparative Summer Thermal Performance of Finished and Unfinished Metal Roofing Products with Composition Shingles
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
This paper presents an overview of results from
experimental research conducted at FSEC's Flexible
Roofing Facility in the summer of 2002. The Flexible
Roof Facility (FRF) is a test facility in Cocoa, Florida
designed to ...
Development of a High Efficiency Ceiling Fan
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The potential of ceiling fans to improve comfort
during the cooling season is well documented (Rohles
et al.. 1983; Fairey et al.. 1986). There are at least
two cases: In the first where air conditioning is unavailable,
adding ...
Optimizing Manufactured Housing Energy Use
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
In partnership with the Florida Solar Energy
Center (FSEC), two manufactured homes were
located on North Carolina A&T State University's
campus in Greensboro, NC and used in a side-by-side
energy consumption comparison. ...
Influence of Attic Radiant Barrier Systems on Air Conditioning Demand in an Utility Pilot Project
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
A utility monitoring project has evaluated radiant
barrier systems (RBS) as a new potential demand site
management (DSM) program. The study examined
how the retrofit of attic radiant barriers can be
expected to alter utility ...
NightCool: An Innovative Residential Nocturnal Radiation Cooling Concept
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
Factors Influencing Water Heating Energy Use and Peak Demand in a Large Scale Residential Monitoring Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A load research project by the Florida Power
Corporation (FPC) is monitoring 200 residences in
Central Florida, collecting detailed end-use load data.
The monitoring is being performed to better estimate
the impact of FPC's ...
EnergyGauge USA: A Residential Building Energy Simulation Design Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) has
developed new software (EnergyGauge USA) which
allows simple calculation and rating of energy use of
residential buildings around the United States. In the
past, most residential ...
Impact of Reflective Roofing on Cooling Electrical Use and Peak Demand in a Florida Retail Mall
(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 ...
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 ...
