Methodology for Residential Building Energy Simulations Implemented in the International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency in building policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation (SB 5, 77TH Leg., 2001) mandates statewide adoption of energy codes, ...
Semi-Empirical Screw Compressor Chiller Model
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
A screw chiller model which is based on a first principles, semi-empirical analysis that describes the system performance based on observations of the thermodynamic processes is developed. This model is a modified method ...
A Comparison of EnergyPlus to DOE-2.1E: Multiple Cases Ranging from a Sealed Box to a Residential Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
EnergyPlus (EPlus) is becoming widely used for building simulation. Previous studies have compared the performance of EPlus with other simulation programs including DOE-2 for a variety of cases. These studies identified ...
Development of a Residential Code-compliant Web-based Energy Efficiency Calculator for Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency-in buildings policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation of 2001 mandated statewide adoption of energy codes; created a 5% ...
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 ...
The Effects of Geometry on Flexible Duct CFD Simulations
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
Flexible ducts have been widely used in the building industry due to low cost and ease of installation. These ducts can be installed in a wide range of configurations, which creates a challenge for pressure loss calculations. ...
