      Energy costs have increased rapidly during the last several years and there is every indication that these costs will continue to rise in real dollars. In certain parts of the country power availability will be limited and ...
    • Gresham, K. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Electric rate design relies on cost incurrance for pricing and pricing structures. However, as utilities move into a marketing mode, rate design needs to respond more to customer reactions to pricing changes. Intraclass ...
    • Muller, M.R.; Muller, M.B.; Rao, P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)
      Cooling towers are used extensively for numerous industrial, residential, and commercial applications. Yet despite how common their uses, operators often do not know how to properly evaluate and optimize their performance. ...
    • Lawrence, J. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Many small and medium sized commercial buildings are energy hogs. Typically they were designed and built to meet low first cost criteria. Control system capability is usually minimal, insulation is thin, glass areas are ...
