Air Conditioner User Behavior in a Master-Metered Apartment Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Air conditioner operation was studied in order
to understand how energy consumption and peak power
are determined by user behavior, equipment operation
and building characteristics. In a multi-family
building, thirteen ...
Energy Cost Reduction Measures Identified for Texas State Agencies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
According t o energy auditors, state-owned
facilities in Texas on the average consume over
twice the energy of comparable facilities in the
private sector. In 1984 and 1986 as part of the
Texas Energy Cost Containment ...
Guidelines for Retrofit Performance Monitoring
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
A data specification guideline developed for use in the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) Single-Family Building Energy
Retrofit Research Program is applicable to field monitoring
studies of cooling retrofits. The guideline ...
Preliminary Study of a Vented Attic Radiant Barrier System in Hot, Humid Climates Using Side-by-Side, Full-Scale Test Houses
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
A series of side-by-side tests was performed using
two full scale test houses to determine the
effectiveness of a Vented Radiant Barrier System
(VRBS) in reducing the ceiling heat flux during the
summer cooling season in ...
Residential Slab-On-Grade Heat Transfer in Hot Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Heat transfer through an uninsulated slab on grade is calculated using a simple method developed by Kusuda. The seasonal and annual slab loads are graphed as a function of annual average soil temperature, Tm, for a variety ...
Electric, Gas, and Electric/Gas Energy Options for Cold-Air HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
An important aspect of the design of cost-effective HVAC systems today is (a) sensitivity to the cost impact of the interplay of utility demand charges, time-of-day rates, gas rates, and gas/electric utility incentive ...
Water-to-Air Heat Pump Performance with Lakewater
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
The performance of water-to-air heat
pumps using lakewater as the heat source
and sink has been investigated. Direct
cooling with deep lakewater has also been
considered. Although the emphasis of the
work was with southern ...
The Institutional Conservation Program: A Funding Option for Energy Retrofits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The Institutional Conservation Program (ICP)
provides matching grants to K-12 schools,
colleges/universities, and hospitals for
energy-related retrofit studies and the
implementation of capital projects identified,
analyzed, ...
Use of Metering for Facility and Whole Building Energy Analysis by the U.S. Depratment of Energy Federal Energy Management Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
This paper details how the U.S. Department of
Energy, Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) is
applying metering technology to conduct empirically
based analyses o f energy use by federal agencies.
Continuing developments ...
Evaluation of a Local Air Conditioning Duty Cycling Device as a Load Management Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
During the summer of 1984, a test was performed
to evaluate a local air conditioning duty cycling
device as a tool to reduce TUEC's system summer peak
demand. In addition to the local duty cycling
device, a direct load ...
