(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
At the request of the Energy Management and Operations Department at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, the Energy Systems Laboratory at the Texas A&M University performed the preliminary study of O&M ...
Cool Storage Applications in the Texas LoanSTAR Program: Overview and Preliminary Results
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Cool Storage Systems (CSS) are becoming a popular demand side management tool for utilities because that helps them avoid costly plant expansions and reduces summer-time peak electricity demand. This paper presents an ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Program: Monitoring Equipment Installation Manual (October 1994)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Texas LoanSTAR (Loans to Save Taxes and Resources) Program is a $98.6 million revolving loan fund to finance energy conservation retrofits in Texas government buildings. The loans are repaid through energy cost savings ...
Thermal Energy Measurement with Tangential Paddlewheel Flow Meters: Summary of Experimental Results and in-situ Diagnostics
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Recently third-party financing has become a popular mechanism for funding energy conservation retrofits in commercial/institutional buildings. Although many successful projects have been heralded by the press quite a few ...
An Overview of Measured Energy Retrofit Savings Methodologies Developed in the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
Development of methodologies to determine energy retrofit savings in commercial buildings (institutional buildings, schools, hospitals, offices, county and state buildings,...) has been the object of active research during ...
Bias in Predicting Annual Energy Use in Commercial Buildings with Regression Models Developed from Short Data Sets
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)
An empirical or regression modeling approach is simple to develop and easy to use compared to use of detailed hourly simulations. Therefore, regression analysis has become a widely used tool in the determination of annual ...
An Application of Integrated Thermal and Electrical Energy Cogeneration Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The savings associated with operations optimization of power generation and cogeneration facilities are large, and readily justify the hardware and software costs required for implementation of Energy Management Optimization ...
The Future of Combustion Turbine Technology for Industrial and Utility Power Generation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
Low capital cost and ample low-cost natural gas supplies will make natural gas-fired combustion turbine systems the power generation technology of choice over the next decade. Against the background of earlier use by ...
A Novel Technology for the Reduction of NOx on Char by Microwaves
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1994-04)
The emphasis on reduction of NOx as a precursor to street level ozone has increased the need for technologies capable of reducing NOx (>95%) to very low levels in major metropolitan areas from a wide variety of sources. ...
