    • A Biennially Renewable Fuel Resource: Woodchips 
      Krantz, B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Recent genetic improvements with some tree species has given us hybrids that have disease resistance, rapid growth, and the ability to regenerate from the stump after harvest. Grown intensively these hybrids are capable ...
    • Busting the Myth That Green Costs More Green 
      Qualk, J. D.; McCown, P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
      Buildings are one of the largest consumers of resources and energy in this country, and according to the AIA (American Institute of Architects) are responsible for almost half of all carbon emissions in the United States. ...
    • Computer Control of Unattended Plants

      Providing a cost-effective and reliable computer monitoring, control, and optimization package is a greater challenge for small, unattended plants than for large energy intensive facilities. This paper describes the ...
    • Cooling Towers, Energy Conservation Strategies 
      Burger, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Cooling towers, because of their seeming simplicity, are usually orphans of the facilities operation. We are all aware that cooling towers are the step-children of the chemical process plant, electric power generating ...
    • Cost Effective Waste Heat Organic Rankine Cycle Applications and Systems Designs 
      Rohrer, J. W.; Bronicki, L. Y. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      Conceptually, the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power cycle has been well known to the engineering community for many years. Despite the rapid escalation of energy costs during the past decade, and a concerted, though somewhat ...
    • Cost Effectiveness Analysis for Conservation Investments 
      Reid, M. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      The Alliance to Save Energy conducted case studies of conservation investment practices in five energy-intensive industries. A portion of the case studies focused on the economic evaluation of proposed conservation ...
    • The Cost-Effectiveness of Continuous Commissioning® Over the Past Ten Years 
      Bynum, J.; Claridge, D. E.; Turner, W. D.; Deng, S.; Wei, G. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
      Continuous Commissioning® data including savings, costs, and implemented measures from over 60 buildings and sites commissioned by staff from the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University are presented. Measured ...
    • Energy (Cost) Savings by Zero Discharge in Cooling Towers 
      Matson, J. V.; Gardiner, W. M.; Harris, T. G.; Puckorius, P. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      Maximum reuse of cooling tower blowdown by the incorporation of a sidestream softening system to recycle water can allow for significant savings in energy costs for industry. The system design parameters described in this ...
    • Energy Recovery from Solid Waste for Small Cities - Has the Time Really Come? 
      Winn, W. T., Jr.; Paxton, W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
      The City of Longview, Texas is evaluating modular, two stage incineration with waste heat recovery to produce steam for sale to industrial consumers. An envisioned 150 tpd waste disposal facility would serve the area ...
    • Evaluating Utility System Operations Using APLUS 
      Pethe, S.; Singh, R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1991-06)
      The steam system at a recycled paper fiberboard plant in Texas was evaluated using APLUS. These simulations identified inefficiencies in the current operation and so suggested more efficient alternatives. The information ...
    • How To Get The Best Value When You Buy An Energy Management System 
      Coggan, D. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      The purchase of an Energy Management System (EMS) is a business activity that can be quite risky for an owner. Periodicals abound with stories of failures of such systems, but on the other hand, there are also successes. ...
    • A Methodology for Optimizing Boiler Operating Strategy 
      Jones, K. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
