      Buildings rarely perform as designed. Improving building functioning could be of great value for different stakeholders as building users, building owners and maintenance companies. In this study, a prototype procedure is ...
    • Saraf, Sanjeev; Rogers, W.J.; Mannan, M.S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)
      With the availability of powerful computers and continued reduction in computing cost, it is routinely possible to calculate the physico-chemical properties of chemicals. This paper is an overview of state-of- the-art ...
    • Nordyke, H. G., Jr. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
      Georgia Power's Off-Peak Rider encourages load reductions up to 40% during on-peak periods over four summer months each year. Since summer on-peak time represents about 50% of available time, the customer's productive ...
    • Williams, S. J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
      Traditionally, energy efficiency projects have been financed by energy service companies (ESCOs) under a shared savings arrangement known as performance contracting. Essentially, performance contracting packages engineering, ...
    • Song, L.; Liu, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
      Both analytical and the numerical methods have been developed to compares the energy performance of the OAHU systems and the two-AHU (TAHU) system. The OAHU system saves up to 1.85 kilojoules heating energy for each kilogram ...
