Daylighting Application and Effectiveness in Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
Before the advent of practical mercury
vapor and fluorescent lighting, the only available
artificial lighting for industrial buildings was
incandescent. The illumination of active industrial
workspaces with incandescent ...
Quantifying Energy Savings by Improving Boiler Operation
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2005)
On/off operation and excess combustion air reduce
boiler energy efficiency. This paper presents
methods to quantify energy savings from switching to
modulation control mode and reducing excess air in
natural gas fired ...
Energy Audit Uncovers Major Energy Savings for Paper Mill
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
The results from a recent Stora
Enso North America - Stevens Point
Paper Machine #34 (PM34) dryer
section rebuild will be reported. The
rebuild, funded partially by the
Wisconsin Focus on Energy program,
improved the ...
ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF HUMIDITY CONTROL APPROACHES IN VACANT FLORIDA HOMES
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
In a hot and humid climate such as Florida, “snowbirds” that leave their homes for extended summer periods need guidance on effective and energy efficient methods of humidity control. Experiments were performed in seven ...
Methodology for Residential Building Energy Simulations Implemented in the International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency in building policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation (SB 5, 77TH Leg., 2001) mandates statewide adoption of energy codes, ...
Optimal Control in Three-deck Multi-Zone Air-Handling Units: A Case-Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
A multi-zone air-handling unit was popular several decades ago due to the convenience of small sized modular units, which were inexpensive to install and easily maintained in a mechanical room. The cost and convenience ...
Semi-Empirical Screw Compressor Chiller Model
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
A screw chiller model which is based on a first principles, semi-empirical analysis that describes the system performance based on observations of the thermodynamic processes is developed. This model is a modified method ...

The Energy Systems Laboratory, in fulfillment of its responsibilities under Texas Health and Safety Code Ann. § 388.003 (e), Vernon Supp. 2002, submits its fourth annual report, Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy (EE/RE) ...
How to Avoid Overestimating Variable Speed Drive Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
This paper addresses eight factors that can cause
incorrect and often excessive savings estimates for
pump and fan variable speed drive applications. To
avoid overestimating savings:
1. Identify system elements that affect ...
Study of Energy and Demand Savings on a High Efficiency Hydraulic Pump System with Infinite Turn Down Technology (ITDT)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
Detailed field measurement and verification of
electrical energy (kWh) and demand (kW)
savings is conducted on an injection molding
machine used in typical plastic manufacturing
facility retrofitted with a high ...
