Affordable Housing for Artists: A Sustainable Prototype
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Although many architects and builders feel
that designing for both sustainability and
affordability is impossible, I believe that the only
way we can afford to live is sustainably. Through
the design of housing for artists, ...
How to Get Comfortable with Dehumidification
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Residential consumers are educated to think
about their comfort conditioning system as air
conditioners and furnaces. Over the past several
years the technology of products and controls has
been changing. Homes have ...
Monitoring & Analysis Program of Prison Sites for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice
(TDCJ) and the Energy Systems Laboratory
(ESL) at Texas A&M University have
collaborated to extend the LoanSTAR
Monitoring & Analysis Program to Texas' prison
facilities. Data loggers ...
Modification and Validation of a Universal Thermodynamic Chiller Model Used to Evaluate the Performance of Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents modifications made to the
procedure used to develop a universal
thermodynamic model of chillers (Gordon and Ng,
1995). The modifications were necessary to capture
physical phenomena involved when water ...
Evaluating Texas State University Energy Consumption According to Productivity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Energy Utilization Index, energy
consumption per square foot of floor area, is the
most commonly used index of building energy
consumption. However, a building or facility exists
solely to support the activities of its ...
Can ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 Requirements be Satisfied while Maintaining Moisture Control using Stock HVAC Equipment in Hot, Humid Climates?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Outdoor air intake rates are studied to
determine their impacts on moisture control
in buildings, especially in hot, humid
climates. Key impacts of outdoor air intake
rates can be readily modeled and studied
using computer ...
Alternative Refrigerants for Building Air Conditioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The majority of building air conditioning has
traditionally been achieved with vapor compression
technology using CFC-I I or HCFC-22 as refrigerant
fluids. CFC-11 is being successfully replaced by
HCFC-123 (retrofit or new ...
Program Overview: The Texas LoanSTAR Program; 1989-August 1997
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Texas LoanSTAR mans to Save Taxes
and Resources) program was conceived as a $98.6
million capital retrofit program for building energy
efficiency. The funding source is petroleum violation
escrow funds (PVE) from the ...
Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Theory and Model Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Optimal hot and cold deck reset schedules
can decrease simultaneous heating and cooling
in VAV AHUs comparing with constant cold
deck temperature operation. In this paper,
optimization models are developed. The energy
impacts ...
Conducting Successful Programs to Increase the Energy-Efficiency of Manufactured Housing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Nationally, about 13% of new single-family homes are
manufactured homes. In southern states, such as South
Carolina, they comprise as much as 40% of new housing.
Such manufactured homes, commonly called HUD-code
homes, are ...
