MAD-AIR
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Forced air heating ard air corditioning duct
systems in residential housing have been largely
overlcoked in house diagnostics. Even the building
is itself a part of the overall ir distribution
system. When a duct system ...
Office Building Uses Ice Storage, Heat Recovery, and Cold-Air Distribution
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Ice storage offers many opportunities
to use other tcchnologies, such as heat
recovery and cold-air distribution. In
fact, by using them, the designer can
improve the efficiency and lower the
construction cost of an ice ...
Residential Slab-On-Grade Heat Transfer in Hot Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Heat transfer through an uninsulated slab on grade is calculated using a simple method developed by Kusuda. The seasonal and annual slab loads are graphed as a function of annual average soil temperature, Tm, for a variety ...
Electric, Gas, and Electric/Gas Energy Options for Cold-Air HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
An important aspect of the design of cost-effective HVAC systems today is (a) sensitivity to the cost impact of the interplay of utility demand charges, time-of-day rates, gas rates, and gas/electric utility incentive ...
Water-to-Air Heat Pump Performance with Lakewater
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
The performance of water-to-air heat
pumps using lakewater as the heat source
and sink has been investigated. Direct
cooling with deep lakewater has also been
considered. Although the emphasis of the
work was with southern ...
Use of Metering for Facility and Whole Building Energy Analysis by the U.S. Depratment of Energy Federal Energy Management Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
This paper details how the U.S. Department of
Energy, Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) is
applying metering technology to conduct empirically
based analyses o f energy use by federal agencies.
Continuing developments ...
Advanced Open-Cycle Desiccant Cooling System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
The concept of staged regeneration as means of improving
the desiccant cooling system performance is the subject of investigation
in this study. In the staged regeneration, the regeneration
section of desiccant dehumidifier ...
Southern Mildew Problems: Weather and Psychrometrics
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Mildew, a costly consequence of excessive
moisture in homes, was addressed in a survey of 560
Florida families. Sixty-five percent of the
participants reported they had problems with mildew.
Attempts were made to correlate ...
Considerations for Energy Efficient Showers in Hot-Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Measurements have been conducted on
four low-flow showerheads currently
recommended by utilities. These
measurements were made to determine
expected cost savings in two prison
installations, based on water
savings, sewer ...
Evaluating Transformer Losses
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1989-09)
This paper outlines how to determine what transformer losses cost and how to evaluate transformer bids to optimize the investment.
