      The development of general purpose microcomputers has brought powerful computing capability within the price range of virtually all energy managers, regardless of the size or sophistication of their operations. This paper ...
    • Luneski, R. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
      In 2005, NEEA engaged the food processing industry in the Northwest with a behavior based program called Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI). Industrial energy efficiency programs have historically been limited to large ...
    • Bullock, B.; Downing, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      The application of combined heat and power principals to existing plant steam systems can help produce electricity at more than twice efficiency of grid generated electricity. In this way, steam plant managers can realize ...
    • Williams, D. R.; Darrow, L. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1981)
      Combustible waste is a significant source of steam at the new John Deere Tractor Works assembly plant in Waterloo, Iowa. The incinerators, each rated to consume two tons of solid waste per hour, are expected to provide up ...
    • Niess, R. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
      The widespread use of geothermal energy to reduce heating costs has been limited in part by the high initial cost of digging deep wells to obtain moderate temperature water (under 220 F) for direct-use industrial process ...

    • McMullan, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2011)
      Energy cost reduction efforts often focus on two important areas; performance of energy conversion equipment (boilers, turbines, etc.) and process heat recovery. While good projects are often found in these areas, additional ...
    • Sherman, J. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2007-05)
      The majority of industrial processes are served by support systems (process heating, process cooling, etc) which have energy savings opportunities which can be divided into two distinct categories: Shutdown savings and ...
    • Barba, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
      Commissioning of new construction is becoming increasingly accepted as a quality assurance tool to deliver performance, reliability, and efficiency in building systems. But what about existing building stock? Does ...
    • Gilbert, J. S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
      Competition is the name of the game for each of you. It really doesn't matter whether you are in a utility, industry, or have a commercial building operation. Today' s competitive forces are straining the intellect ...
    • Fisher, D.; Fenter, T.; McClure, J. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
      Power failures can occur for a variety of reasons. The consequences of such outages range from mere inconveniences to damaged equipment, ruined goods, lost revenue, and diminished safety. In all buildings lighting is among ...
    • Frankel, M.; Hewitt, D.; Egnor, T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
      The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) provides tax incentives for buildings in the U.S. designed to use 50% or less of the energy of typical code buildings. Upon passage of this important legislation, the New Buildings ...
    • Candanedo, J. A.; Dehkordi, V. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2013)
      Model-based predictive control (MPC) has emerged in recent years as a promising approach to building operation. MPC uses models of the system(s) under control -and knowledge about future disturbances- to select an optimal ...
