(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
An independent field research effort co-funded by
the Gas Research Institute and The U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory is
documenting the performance and energy usage
characteristics of active ...
Reducing Pump Power Consumption by 40% (1000 KW) Through Improved Pump Management in a Central Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Chilled water system data collection and field
measurements performed at the Central Utility Plant
of Texas A&M University revealed that 30 - 50 % of
the primary pump head is consumed by manual and
automatic valves being ...
Saving Big Bucks with Your Log Sheets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
This paper speaks to a common problem in a lot of industrial and institutional boilerhouses. Most boilerhouses do an excellent job at collecting information. Circular chart recorders churn out pressures, temperatures, and ...
Energy Efficiency in the Pulp and Paper Industry: Simulation of Steam Challenge and CHP Incentives with ITEMS
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
Two programs being considered to encourage energy efficiency in industry, as possible ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, are 1) "Steam Challenge," designed to improve steam use in industrial plants, and 2) incentives ...
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

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 ...
