Program Overview: The Texas LoanSTAR Program; 1989-August 1997
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Texas LoanSTAR mans to Save Taxes
and Resources) program was conceived as a $98.6
million capital retrofit program for building energy
efficiency. The funding source is petroleum violation
escrow funds (PVE) from the ...
Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Theory and Model Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Optimal hot and cold deck reset schedules
can decrease simultaneous heating and cooling
in VAV AHUs comparing with constant cold
deck temperature operation. In this paper,
optimization models are developed. The energy
impacts ...
Environmental Impact of the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents an analysis of the
environmental impact of the energy reductions that
have been measured in the Texas LoanSTAR
program. There are a number of factors that
influence emission factors. The three major ...
Rebuild America Program – Brazos Valley Energy Conservation Coalition – Quarterly Report for July – September 1998
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1998)
The Brazos Valley Energy Conservation Coalition (BVECC), administered by the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) of Texas A&M University, in College Station, Texas received notification of the U.S. Department of Energy ...
Rehabilitating A Thermal Storage System Through Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
A thermal storage system was installed in a
37,000 ft2 hospital in April 1992. The chiller
had to be operated every summer during peak
demand periods until the authors rehabilitated
system through building commissioning ...
A Methodology to Identify Monthly Energy Use Models from Utility Bill Data for Seasonally Scheduled Buildings: Application to K-12 Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The measured energy savings from retrofits
in buildings is often determined as the difference
between the energy consumption predicted by a
baseline model and the measured energy
consumption during the post retrofit ...
A Novel Procedure to Determine Optimal Air Static Pressure Set-points and Reset Schedules in VAV Air Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Air static pressure set-point or schedule for VAV
AHLJ systems is one of the most crucial
operational parameters for satisfy lug the building
load, maintaining the room comfort level and
saving energy costs. This paper ...
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 ...
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 ...
