Report of Energy Efficiency Study and Metering/Utilities Profile for Electric Deregulation at Tarleton State University (TSU), Stephenville, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1999)
The director of Energy Management & Controls and staff at Tarleton State University (TSU) do a very good job of maintaining TSU and keeping expenses down. They have metering installed in many buildings and track the campus ...
Reducing Life Cycle Cost By Energy Saving in Pump Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Pumps consume about 15% of all electricity generated world wide. In the USA alone this accounts for over 130TWh per annum. A saving of only 1% would amount to $80 million in electricity cost. The importance of energy saving, ...
Beyond Energy Savings: Case Studies on Enhancing Productivity and Reducing Costs Through Energy Efficiency Investments
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Promoting energy efficiency to corporate CEOs and CFOs based on energy savings alone has had limited success. Experience shows that energy efficiency projects' non-energy benefits often exceed the value of energy savings, ...
Compressed Air System Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Several years ago I went to a gas station and noticed that my car's tires were low on air. I saw the gas station had an air compressor, but it cost a quarter to use the compressor. I paid my quarter and used the compressor. ...
Economical Aspects of Adjustable Speed Drives in Pumping Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Speed variations of pumps have become increasingly popular as the technology to produce variable frequency drives has progressed. Variable speed drives have many advantages compared to throttle valves when it comes to ...
