Abbas, M.; Haberl, J. S.; Turner, W. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University; Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)Cool Storage Systems (CSS) are becoming a popular demand side management tool for utilities because that helps them avoid costly plant expansions and reduces summer-time peak electricity demand. This paper presents an ...

Abbas, M.; Haberl, J. S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)Graphs are an effective way of displaying quantitative and statistical information. Unfortunately, only a few studies have systematically looked at presenting building energy data in forms which are both informative and ...

Athar, A.; Abbas, M.; Haberl, J. S.; Turner, W. D.; Claridge, D. E.; Harvey, T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)This paper presents an analysis of the environmental impact of the energy reductions that have been measured in the Texas LoanSTAR program. There are a number of factors that influence emission factors. The three major ...

Liu, M.; Abbas, M.; Veteto, B.; Claridge, D. E.; Bruner, H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)In the theory and modeling part, the principles of VAV box optimization are investigated. The simulations show that optimizing cold and hot deck reset schedules can significantly reduce the amount of energy consumption. During ...

A Report on the Environmental Impact of the Texas LoanSTAR Program from May 1989 to September 1995 Abbas, M.; Turner, W. D.; Claridge, D. E.; Haberl, J. S.; Saman, N. F. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University; Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)The Texas LoanSTAR (Loans to Save Taxes and Resources) program was created by the state of Texas in 1989 to lend money for energy conserving improvements, or retrofits, in public buildings. As of September 1995 the LoanSTAR ...

Liu, M.; Abbas, M.; Zhu, Y.; Claridge, D. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)A new terminal box operation and control strategy, airflow reset, is developed to improve building comfort and energy efficiency during unoccupied and lightly occupied hours. The airflow reset lowers the minimum airflow ...

Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Characterizing Loanstar Buildings & Energy Consumption Challa, V.; Athar, A.; Abbas, M.; Claridge, D.; Haberl, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)This paper presents an overview of the buildings participating in the Texas LoanSTAR program. In this paper, we categorized the buildings in terms of their number, size, percent area effected, types of buildings, types of ...

Challa, V.; Abbas, M.; Athar, A.; Claridge, D.; Haberl, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)This paper describes how continuous monitoring and follow-up has improved the savings from energy conservation retrofits in the LoanSTAR program. It describes the importance of the feedback from the facility engineer or ...
