Energy Efficiency Opportunities in the Brewery Industry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
Breweries in the United States spend annually over $200 Million on energy. Energy consumption is equal to 3-8% of the production costs of beer, making energy efficiency improvement an important way to reduce costs, especially ...
Potential Peak Load Reductions From Residential Energy Efficient Upgrades
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The demand for electricity is continuing to grow
at a substantial rate. Utilities are interested in
managing this growth's peak demand for a number of
reasons including: costly construction of new
generation capacity can ...
Impact of Reflective Roofing on Cooling Electrical Use and Peak Demand in a Florida Retail Mall
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Architects in hot climates have long recognized
that reflective roof colors can reduce building cooling
load. Experimentation spanning nearly three decades
has shown that white roofing surfaces can
significantly reduce ...
The Impact of Deregulation on Energy Conservation and DSM Measures
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The regulated utility monopoly, with its defined
and quasi-permanent rate schedules has, in many
places, become a thing of the past. Therefore,
determining the benefits of various facility operating
options is no longer a ...
Correcting Thermal Distribution Problems for a Large University Campus
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Texas A&M University main campus in
College Station consists of 114 buildings served by
two central plants. The two main campus loops are
more than 50 years old with a total piping length for
each loop in excess of 13 ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Our firm was under contract with the City of
Austin, Texas to perform energy analysis and
analysis of the daylighting potential within the
New Austin Bergstrom International Airport
Terminal. Design of the Passenger ...
Computer Simulation of Cooling Effect of Wind Tower on Passively Ventilated Building
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002)
Traditional buildings are cooled and ventilated
by mechanically induced drafts. Natural ventilation
aspires to cool and ventilate a building by natural
means, such as cross ventilation or wind towers,
without mechanical ...
Single-Duct Constant Air Volume System Supply Air Temperature Reset: Using Return Air Temperature or Outside Air Temperature?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The supply air temperature set point for a singleduct
constant air volume air handling unit (AHU)
system is often reset based on either return air
temperature or outside air temperature in order to
reduce simultaneous ...
The System Approach to Thermal Performance - Control of Condensation and Mold in Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
We are seeing headlines every day, advising that a
school, office building or courthouse has been closed
due to mold. The cost of remediation plus the
damage to the reputations of building owners,
architects, builders and ...
Retrocommissioning Case Study - Applying Building Selection Criteria for Maximum Results
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Commissioning of existing buildings, or
“retrocommissioning” is a systematic process to
identify operational and maintenance (O&M)
improvements that optimize building performance
and ensure that building systems function ...
