Lessons Learned from the U.S. Department of Energy's Motor Challenge Showcase Demonstration Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
This paper presents a summary of the practical lessons learned to date from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Showcase Demonstration Projects. These projects are part of the DOE Motor Challenge Program, and are aimed ...
Energy-Efficient Dry-Type Distribution Transformers: New Opportunities to Cut Energy Bills and Lock-in Long-Term Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Nearly 90% of the electricity that powers the industrial sector flows through dry-type distribution transformers. These transformers are very efficient- most convert in excess of 95% of input power to output power. However, ...
The Powerhouse Control System Audit as a Means of Insuring a Successful System Design and Implementation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Improvements to the powerhouse control system can be a cost effective way to improve system efficiency and reliability. A critical step in making these improvements is to conduct a control system audit of the existing ...
Impact of Nighttime Shut Down on the Prediction Accuracy of Monthly Regression Models for Energy Consumption in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Regression models of measured
energy use in buildings are widely used as
baseline models to determine retrofit savings
from measured energy consumption. It is less
expensive to determine savings from monthly
utility bills ...
FLASTAR: Measured Savings of a Comprehensive Energy Retrofit in a Florida Elementary School
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper describes the final results for the pilot
demonstration of the Florida Public Building Loan
Concept. This loan program was intended to provide
low cost funds to eligible public entities for upgrade
of building ...
Analysis of Air Conditioning Effectiveness vs. Outdoor Conditions: Traditional Bins or Joint Frequency Bins?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
There are a number of methods used to
estimate the effectiveness of air conditioning
equipment in handling loads. Full hourly
computer simulations are probably the most
accurate, but lack flexibility and are more
cumbersome ...
Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Application and Results
(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 ...
Monitoring Viable Fungal and Bacterial Bioaerosol Concentrations to Identify Acceptable Levels for Common Indoor Environments
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Bioaerosol concentrations between 200 -
450 CFU/m3 have remained largely uncharacterized
with respect to potential indoor air
quality concerns. This research provides for
further description of indoor bioaerosol
concentrations ...
Energy Use and Costs in Texas Schools and Hospitals
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Procedures are presented for documenting and graphically presenting the monthly and
annual energy use and costs for schools and hospitals. Collected data include monthly
electrical energy consumed, monthly total electrical ...
