Towards Green-Sensibility in African Architecture - A Climate-sensitive Approach to Design in East Africa
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This Paper makes a commentary between science
and architectural design of vernacular architecture in
East Africa. It relates the history of architectural
theory and contemporary practice of environmental
control. Firstly, ...
Real Time Pricing Tie Line Control: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
A Tie Line Control System maintains the purchase quantity of electrical energy an industrial facility buys from a utility company. Implementing an advanced Tie Line Control system automates the buy versus make decision ...
Applications Tests of Energy Efficient, Environmentally Friendly Refrigerants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
This paper describes performance demonstrations of two members of the Ikon® family of safe, environmentally friendly, high performance substitute refrigerants for replacement of R-12 and R-134a in manufacturing and facilities ...
Study of Air Infiltration Energy Consumption
(1992-08)
The influence of heat recovery on the energy impact of air infiltration, and the systematic error due to the steady-state method were studied both experimentally and theoretically. Two methodologies suitable for measurement ...
Daylighting: Measuring the Performance of Light Shelves and Occupant-Controlled Blinds on a Dimmed Lighting Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The design of a day lighted space is both an art and
a science. The biggest challenge facing the lighting
designer is to admit only as much light as necessary
and distribute it evenly throughout the space without
introducing ...
Building Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality - You Can Have Both
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Providing ventilation for acceptable indoor air
quality per ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 does not
require large increases in utility costs. Building
efficiency does not have to be sacrificed for a
healthy building. The ASHRAE ...
Conversion of Waste Biomass into Useful Products
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Waste biomass includes municipal solid waste (MSW), municipal sewage sludge (SS), industrial biosludge, manure, and agricultural residues. When treated with lime, biomass is highly digestible by a mixed culture of acid-forming ...
Climate Change Concerns and the Likely Impacts on Industrial Energy R&D
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Last December, US negotiators agreed to commit the U.S. to a binding target of reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 30% below business-as-usual (BAU) projections by 1990. Since
U.S. Industry is responsible for ...
Broad Initiatives/Sharp Focus- Cuts Electricity Consumption 15%
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Analysis of electrical consumption can payout in reduced energy costs. Continuous monitoring of electrical usage coupled with improvements and optimization in system(s) operations can have a favorable impact on annual ...
Membrane Separations Research
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-04)
The use of membranes for separating gaseous and liquid
mixtures has grown dramatically in the past 15 years.
Applications have been dominated by light gas separations and
water purification. During this pioneering period, ...
