Measured Natural Cooling Enhancement of a While House Fan
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
An experimental study was carried out in the
summer of 1991 to investigate the natural cooling
potential of use of a whole house fan in Central
Florida's hot and humid climate. The residential
building, in Cocoa Beach, FL, ...
A Bin Method for Calculating Energy Conservation Retrofit Savings in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
The calculation of measured energy savings from
energy conservation retrofits is an important step in the
verification of the success of a retrofit (Claridge et al.
1992). Several methods for calculating the savings ...
Monitored Energy Use Patterns in Low-Income Housing in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is
metering energy use in two Habitat for Humanity
developments. The objective is to understand how
energy is used in low income housing and how it can
be effectively reduced.
The ten ...
Development of HVAC System Performance Criteria Using Factorial Design and DOE-2 Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
A new approach is described for the development
of Heating, Ventilating, and Air-conditioning
(HVAC) System Performance Criteria for the Texas
Building Energy Design Standard. This approach
integrates a design of experimental ...
An Expert System for Determining Compliance with the Texas Building Energy Design Standard
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Demonstration of compliance with the Texas
Building Energy Conservation Design Standard
involves completion of a summary checklist for each
of its sections. This manual checking is tedious.
Furthermore, no comprehensive ...
Waste to Energy and Absorption Chiller: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
All measured performance characteristics
corresponded well to manufacturer's
specifications or were within the expected range
for this type of incinerator. The simplified
economic analysis showed a payback of period ...
Measured Effects of Retrofits - A Refrigerant Oil Additive and a Condenser Spray Device - On the Cooling Performance of a Heat Pump
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
A 15-year old, 3-ton single package air-to-air heat pump
was tested in laboratory environmental chambers
simulating indoor and outdoor conditions. After
documenting initial performance, the unit was retrofitted
with a ...
Development of Graphical Indices for Displaying Large Scale Building Energy Data Sets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
Graphs are an effective way of displaying
quantitative and statistical information.
Unfortunately, only a few studies have systematically
looked at presenting building energy data in forms
which are both informative and ...
Analysis of a Fabric/Desiccant Window Cavity Dehumidifier
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
This paper presents the results of an exploratory
study of a fabric/desiccant window cavity dehumidifier
system for possible use in commercial buildings.
The objective was to evaluate fabrics commonly used
in buildings, ...
Determination of Retrofit Savings Using a Calibrated Building Energy Simulation Model
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
This paper presents the development of a
methodology to determine retrofit energy savings in
buildings when few measured preretrofit data are
available. Calibration of the DOE-2 building energy
analysis computer program ...
