Desiccant Moisture Exchange for Dehumidification Enhancement of Air Conditioners
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This paper discusses the potential of an improvement to the typical vapor compression air conditioning cycle used to cool and dehumidify air. This improvement uses a desiccant to remove moisture from the saturated air ...
The Austin Energy Star Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The Austin Energy Star Program is an
Austin-specific energy rating system implemented in
July, 1985. Since the first builders joined the
program, Energy Star has gone through significant
improvements vithout changing the ...
Guidelines for Energy Efficient Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Operational experience of several schools
designed with energy efficiency as a design
criteria is discussed in this paper. Actual
monthly energy usage and cost are provided. Annual
energy cost performance ($/ft^2-yr) and ...
Guidelines for Marketing Demand-Side Management in the Commercial Sector
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
For the past decade, electric and gas utilities
throughout the nation, not just in hot and humid
climates, have promoted energy efficiency through a
variety of demand-side management (DSM) programs.
In 1984, the Electric ...
Effects of Material Moisture Adsorption and Desorption on Building Cooling Loads
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Moisture adsorption and desorption (MAD) by
internal building materials and furnishings can be
significant in buildings. For many building cooling
strategies, MAD may have overriding effects on
building cooling loads. For ...
Experimental Evaluation of Innovative Wall Daylighting Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Daylighting offers the potential to save electrical energy
and reduce peak demand for lighting, the major consumer of
energy in a variety of buildings. However, widespread adoption
of daylighting techniques is hampered by ...
Validation of the Algorithms Developed for Preliminary Prediction of Daylight Distribution in a Toplighted Atrium
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Empirically based preliminary prediction
algorithms were recently developed for different
atrium types under various diffuse sky
conditions. In the case of toplighted atriums,
these algorithms were developed to predict ...
Rotordynamic Considerations In The Design Of High Speed Centrifugal Pumps
(Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1988)
Operating speeds of multistage pumps tended to increase during the last decade from 4000 to 6000 rpm to 7000 to 10000 rpm, due to new super critical powerplant designs and new conversion processes in the hydrocarbon industry. ...
Energy Recovery By Direct Contact Gas-Liquid Heat Exchange
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1988-09)
Energy from hot gas discharge streams can be
recovered by transfer directly to a coolant liquid in one of
several available gas-liquid contacting devices. The design of
the device is central to the theme of this paper, ...
Commercial Energy Code Enforcement in Oregon and Washington
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
In recent years, many states and local
jurisdictions have passed mandatory building codes
to achieve energy efficiency in new construction.
All too often the political bodies that pass these
codes assume that because ...
