Patterns of Refrigerant Use Resulting From Regulations Designed to Protect the Environment
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The HVAC&R industry is changing
rapidly. This is response to the environmental
challenges of ozone depletion and global
warming. The contractor working in this
industry faces tough competition and increasing
technical ...
Measured Impacts of Air Conditioner Condenser Shading
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
A study has been conducted by the Florida
Solar Energy Center (FSEC) to examine if space
cooling energy savings can be achieved from shading
of residential air conditioning (AC) condenser units.
The investigation consisted ...

has important implications for building cooling loads
as well as those directly ...
Overview of the Rebuild America Program in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Rebuild America program is a multi-year
program, through the U.S. Department of Energy
(USDOE), that will increase investment in energy
efficiency. As the program progresses, it will save
energy, create jobs, and improve ...
Results of a Field Test Using R-407C in Split System Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
This paper discusses the results of a field
test to determine implications of an R-407C
replacement of R-22.
A change of refrigerants precipitates other
changes in materials, component selection, and
processing. In addition, ...
Micro-Management of Lighting Controls Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
A common lighting project is to evaluate a block of
rooms for savings and payback from the use of
photocells or occupancy sensors. The designer counts
the fixtures to be controlled, calculates the watts used
and then the ...
