Making Steel Framing as Thermally Efficient as Wood
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
In many world regions like North
America and Scandinavia wood framing
is dominant technology for residential
buildings. During last two decades
several companies around the world
started to promote a low-gage steel
framing ...
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Applications in Dual-Duct Constant Volume Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Models have been developed for static pressure
and potential supply fan energy savings by using
variable speed drive (VSD) in dual-duct constant
volume systems. Experiments have been performed
using a full size dual-duct ...
Economizer Applications in Dual-Duct Air-Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
This paper provides analytical tools and engineering methods to evaluate the feasibility of the economizer for dual-duct air-handling units. The results show that the economizer decreases cooling energy consumption without ...
The Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership (BAIHP)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The Building America Industrialized Housing
Partnership (BAIHP) is one of five competitively
selected U.S. DOE Building America teams and
began work on 9/1/99. BAIHP focuses on improving
the energy efficiency, durability ...
Three Case Studies: Moisture Control in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
This paper will present case studies of the
investigations of three different buildings
exhibiting moisture control problems along the
Gulf Coast. We will briefly discuss the original,
or existing, conditions that led to ...
Chilled Water System Hydraulic Study for The University of Texas at San Antonio
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 2002)
The University of Texas at San Antonio needs to expand their central chilled water distribution system as a result of planned additions to the
campus. The current distribution system may be inadequate for the planned ...
Benefits of the International Residential Code's Maximum Solar heat Gain Coefficient Requirement for Windows
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Texas adopted in its residential building energy
code a maximum 0.40 solar heat gain coefficient
(SHGC) for fenestration (e.g., windows, glazed doors
and skylights)-a critical driver of cooling energy
use, comfort and peak ...
Avoiding Sick Buildings while Assuring Occupant Productivity and Building Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
In order to meet the increased expectations
of building occupants, designers must be
aware of the conflicts between first cost
economics, occupant productivity and life
cycle costs. Cost savings measures have
resulted in ...
Demonstration of Natural Gas Engine Driven Air Compressor Technology at Department of Defense Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
Recent downsizing and consolidation of Department of Defense (DOD) facilities provides an opportunity to upgrade remaining facilities with more efficient and less polluting equipment. Use of air compressors by the DOD is ...
Closed-Loop Energy Management Control of Large Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2002-04)
A case study is presented of a closed-loop control system installed and running at a Pulp and Paper facility in the southeast. A fuzzy logic, ruled-based control system optimally loads multiple steam turbines for maximum ...
