    • Effective Energy Management Through Better Operator Training 
      Shah, G. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      A majority of the energy conservation programs in the chemical process industry aims at gaining cooperation and motivation from the operators or technicians. These programs are useful but they seem to lack an important ...
    • Effective Transfer of Industrial Energy Conservation Technologies 
      Clement, M.; Vallario, R. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      Voluntary participation in industrial energy conservation programs resulted in savings of approximately 1 million barrels of oil equivalent per day in the U.S. during 1981. These energy savings accrued largely from the ...
    • Energy Challenges and Conservation Achievements in the Aluminum Industry 
      Sheldon, A. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      Energy is a vital resource in the production of aluminum. It is economically essential that producers use it efficiently. The aluminum industry developed historically in an economy of energy surplus or abundance. It has ...
    • Energy Conservation and the Environment - Designing for Cost Savings and Minimum Emissions 
      Johnnie, D. H., Jr.; Klooster, H. J.; Nagy, J. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Upgrading existing facilities for efficient energy utilization and compliance with increasingly stringent environmental restrictions imposes strict restraints upon design engineers. The existing facility must be reviewed ...
    • Energy Conservation in the Bell System 
      Del Grande, M. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      In December 1973, the Bell System launched a comprehensive energy conservation program which includes immediate, intermediate, and long range steps. A computerized data base system was developed to permit monthly input of ...
    • Energy Conservation Management Can Pay For Itself 
      McCall, R.; Bickle, L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      With proper management of energy conservation programs, any structure can be energy efficient. And this energy efficiency need not require great expenditures. A 'systems approach' to energy management identifies a series ...
    • Energy Management and Computers in the Pulp and Paper Industry 
      Sommerfeld, J. T.; Hartley, E. M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      This paper reports on various energy conservation programs which have recently been implemented in the pulp and paper industry. A number of specific energy conservation measures are described. Also, applications of computers ...
    • The Energy Tracker 
      Ranzau, P. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      Since 1978, Houston Lighting & Power Company has been concerned with promoting the efficient use of energy. The guiding concept to the creation of conservation programs is the underlying responsibility to respond to ...
    • For Energy Conservation in Existing Plants - Start With a Good Process Survey 
      Krebs, N. R.; Castillo, R. O.; Malaty, W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      As a result of the drastic increase in the cost of process plant utilities, many operating companies are actively pursuing programs to effect energy conservation in their existing plants. Some have taken action to reduce ...
    • Gaining Top Management Support for Energy Conservation Programs 
      Kenney, W. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Sometimes seemingly attractive energy conservation opportunities encounter road blocks by top management. Generally, this happens because the engineer is not working the whole problem as management sees it. Management may ...
    • Industrial Energy Audit Training for Engineers 
      Russell, B. D.; Willis, G.; Colburn, B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      The field of engineering energy conservation has witnessed an explosion of concern and activity during the last three years throughout the United States. In Texas, such activities have been enhanced by comprehensive ...
