Factors Influencing Water Heating Energy Use and Peak Demand in a Large Scale Residential Monitoring Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A load research project by the Florida Power
Corporation (FPC) is monitoring 200 residences in
Central Florida, collecting detailed end-use load data.
The monitoring is being performed to better estimate
the impact of FPC's ...
ASHRAE's Residential Ventilation Standard: Exegesis of Proposed Standard 62.2
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
In February 2000, ASHRAE's Standard Project
Committee on "Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor
Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings", SPC
62.2P7 recommended ASHRAE's first complete
standard on residential ventilation ...
Optimize the Supply Air Temperature Reset Schedule for a Single-Duct VAV System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The supply air temperature for a single-duct
variable air volume (VAV) system is usually set as a
constant. To minimize the simultaneous cooling and
heating, this supply temperature is often reset based
on either return ...
Development of Simplified Calculations for a Multipyranometer Array for the Measurement of Direct and Diffuse Solar Radiation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
This paper describes the development of
simplified procedures for a multipyranometer array
(MPA) for the continuous measurement of direct and
diffuse solar radiation. The MPA described in this
paper is an improvement over ...
Analysis of the Benefits of Photovoltaic in High Rise Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Energy efficient glazing is necessary to reduce
heat gains or losses that contribute to the high-energy
use of buildings. However, high-rise commercial
buildings that use energy efficient glazing are still
consumptive. To ...
Continuous Commissioning of a Central Chilled Water & Hot Water System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A central chilled water / hot water system
provides cooling / heating energy from central utility
plants to multiple customers (buildings) through
campus distribution loops. To effectively transport
the chilled water and ...
Wall Design Redundancy for Improving the Moisture Performance of Building Cladding Systems in Hot-Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
An investigation of approximately 4,000 buildings in the hot-humid climate locations of the
United States where the potential for decay of
hygroscopic building materials or corrosion of metals
is moderate-to-severe found ...
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 ...
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 ...
