Roots of Mold Problems and Humidity Control Measures in Institutional Buildings with Pre-Existing Mold Condition
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Humidity control and mold in buildings has
become an increasingly important problem. Once a
building has experience mold growth on walls,
ceilings, and other surfaces, it does not take longterm
exposure to moisture for ...
Texas Senate Bill 5 Legislation for Reducing Pollution in Non-Attainment and Affected Areas: An Overview of Legislative Responsibilities, Code Compliance Issues and Accomplishments
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The 77th Texas Legislature, in 2001,
established Senate Bill 5, SB-5, which addressed
NOx emission reductions by establishing
programs to reduce vehicle emissions and
reductions due to energy efficiency and the use
of ...
Remote Fault Detection of Building HVAC System Using a Global Optimization Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The energy efficiency of HVAC systems in
buildings often degrades with the passage of
time. Significant engineering time is normally
required to determine the cause(s) of the
degradation. This paper reports a preliminary ...
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. ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The expansion and maintenance of building
systems on educational campuses require huge
financial expenditures. Public schools and colleges
must make the most of each available dollar. The
combination of effective building ...
Getting Serious About Safety and Loss Prevention Emergency Power and Standby Generators
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Power failures can occur for a variety of reasons.
The consequences of such outages range from mere
inconveniences to damaged equipment, ruined goods,
lost revenue, and diminished safety.

Phase-Change Frame Walls (PCFWs) for On-Peak Demand Reduction and Energy Conservation in Residential Buildings: Development, Construction and Evaluation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The main purpose of this work was to develop a
thermally enhanced frame wall that would reduce
peak load air conditioning demand, shift a portion of
the thermal load, and conserve energy in residential
buildings. A frame ...
Conservation of Mass: An Old Principle That Needs More Usage in Hot & Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Conservation of mass is such a basic principal that
most designers no longer consider it for most design
calculations. Design phase commissioning checks on
several recent projects indicate designers should
include conservation ...
