Short Term Energy Monitoring: What Does This Information Mean to the Facility Energy Manager?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Engineers at the Energy Systems Laboratory at
Texas A&M University have completed short term
energy metering studies at a complex of offices in
northern Texas and several buildings on the Texas
A&M University campus ...
Wall Drying in Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Moisture and subsequent mold problems in
buildings are a serious and increasing concern for the
building industry. Moisture intrusion in buildings is
especially pertinent in hot and humid climates
because the climate ...
Clean-up of Contaminated Indoor Air Using Photocatalytic Technology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A number of Sick Building Syndrome
studies have concluded that microorganisms,
endotoxins and VOCs in indoor air are involved in
the development and/or aggravation of allergies and
illnesses in buildings. The phototcatalytic ...
Innovative Design Concept for the New Bangkok International Airport, NBIA
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Thermal and visual comfort for the occupants of a
room are not defined by air temperature only, but also
radiation with its three components solar radiation,
daylight and heat radiation has to be taken into account
(among ...
Enhanced Software for Displaying Orthographic, Stereographic, Gnomic and Cylindrical Projections of the Sunpath Diagram and Shading Mask Protractor
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The well-known versions of the sun-path diagrams
and shading mask protractors that appear in the AIA's
Architectural Graphics Standards (Ramsey and Sleeper
1994) are based on the equidistant projections and use a
shading ...
Best Practice For the Location of Air and Thermal Boundaries in Small Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Suspended t-bar ceilings are common in
commercial buildings. Research has found that these
ceilings are very leaky, and several problems arise
from this. If the space above the ceiling is vented to
outdoors, the entire ...
A New Ventilation System Integrates Total Energy Recovery, Conventional Cooling and a Novel 'Passive' Dehumidification Wheel to Mitigate the Energy, Humidity Control and First Cost Concerns Often Raised when Designing for ASHRAE Standard 62-1999 Compliance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
This paper introduces a novel, ''passive" desiccant based outdoor air preconditioning system (PDH) that is shown to be significantly more energy-efficient than all known alternatives, and has the unique ability to dehumidify ...
ANSI/MSE 2000: A Single Standard for Diverse Business Sectors
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The Energy and Environmental
Management Center (EEMC), part of the
Georgia Tech Economic Development Institute,
has developed a comprehensive energy
management standard, officially adopted by
ANSI, to identify and achieve ...
Importance of Design Conditions for Sizing Air-Conditioning Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Design conditions based on the meteorological data collected at two weather stations located less than 10 km away from each other within Kuwait City are presented for dry-bulb temperature (DBT) and web-bulb temperature ...
Climate Change: Some Scientific and Political Realities
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
Atmospheric scientists tell us that mankind is changing the climate, and is
setting in motion forces that can make essentially irreversible changes in
the climate of the future. Naysayers dispute whether mankind is ...
