      For the existing housing, retrofitting single or double glazed clear glass window with solar films can be an effective measure to reduce their peak power demand, and large scale application of the same on national level ...
    • Effectiveness of Shading Air-Cooled Condensers of Air-Conditioning Systems 
      ElSherbini, A.; Maheshwari, G. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      In air-conditioning (A/C) systems with air-cooled condensers, the condensing unit has to be kept in the open for easy access to outdoor air in order to efficiently dissipate heat. During daytime, the solar radiation falling ...
    • Implementation of Smart Operation Strategies for Air-Conditioning and Lighting Systems for Ministries Complex in the State of Kuwait 
      Al-Mulla, A.; Maheshwari, G. P.; Al-Nakib, D.; Ishaqali, H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
      The smart operation strategies were implemented for Air-Conditioning (A/C) and lighting systems to reduce the national load at Ministries Complex (MC) in the state of Kuwait. The A/C system in MC is a district cooling ...
    • Importance of Design Conditions for Sizing Air-Conditioning Plant 
      Shaban, N.; Maheshwari, G. P.; Suri, R. K. (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 ...
    • The Influence of Air-Conditioning Efficiency in the Peak Load Demand for Kuwait 
      Ali, A. A.; Maheshwari, G. P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2007)
      A model co-relating the peak load demand of a utility with the allowable power rating (PR) of air-conditioning (AC) systems has been developed in this paper through a well defined methodology. The model is capable to ...
    • An Innovative Approach Towards National Peak Load Management 
      Al-Mulla, A.; Maheshwari, G. P.; Al-Nakib, D.; ElSherbini, A.; Alghimlas, F.; Al-Taqi, H.; Al-Hadban, Y. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
      An innovative approach was developed and implemented in eight governmental buildings to reduce their load during the peak demand hours in summer of 2007. The innovative approach implemented in these buildings included ...
    • Optimization of Chilled Water Flow and Its Distribution in Central Cooling System 
      Maheshwari, G. P.; Hajiah, A. E.; ElSherbini, A. I. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2007)
