Climate Change Awareness Time Line: How Did We Get to Today?
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
The climate change issue has really entered the awareness of the general
public within the last two years or so. During that time, references in the
media have progressed from the back page of the newspapers to front
page ...
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 ...
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 ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Building America1 Industrialized Housing Partnership (BAIHP) has collaborated with two of its industry partners to work on a portion of the project that relates to the construction and ...
Airside Economizer – Comparing Different Control Strategies and Common Misconceptions
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
Air-side economizer is broadly adopted in building HVAC design and operations. When the system is properly designed and the control sequence is properly implemented, air-side economizer provides significant energy savings. ...
Development of an ASHRAE 152-2004 Duct Model for the Single-Family Residential House
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper presents the results of the development of the duct model based on ASHRAE standard 152-2004 (ASHRAE, 2004) using the DOE-2.1e building energy simulation program. To accomplish this, FUNCTION commands for DOE-2 ...
An Experimental Study of the Performance of PCM-Enhanced Cellulose Insulation Used in Residential Building Walls Exposed to Full Weather Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Air conditioning energy consumption in summer represents a major concern in many areas with hot and humid climates. When incorporated into the walls of light-weight residential buildings, phase change materials (PCMs) can ...
