Development of a Procedure for the Predictive Control Strategy of a Chilled Water Storage System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Thermal energy storage systems store the
thermal energy produced by the chiller plant in
periods of off-peak electrical demand or when
cheaper electricity is available. The stored thermal
energy is then withdrawn from the ...
Energy Efficient Rondavels in the Kruger National Game Reserve, South Africa
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Unique huts are being used as guest lodges in the
South African National Kruger Game Park. These
are inspired by the rondavels (indigenous round
thatched adobe building), but have been westernized
by adding glazed window ...
Helpful Hints for Operating Schools

Optimization Measures for Sporting and Special Event Facilities: Design and Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Reducing unnecessary building energy costs
is becoming more of a priority. Rising fuel
prices and a global emphasis on energy
efficiency are key contributing factors. This
push towards energy efficiency certainly applies
to ...
Development and Analysis of a Sustainable Low Energy House in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
This study examines the lifetime building
energy consumption of a typical house in Bangkok,
Thailand. The lifetime building energy consumption
is composed of three major components: 1) the
energy used in building construction ...
