Solar Water Heating: What's Hot and What's Not
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
A handful of electric utilities in the United States now pay incentives to their customers to install solar water heaters or are developing programs to do so. The solar water heater incentives are part of a broader utility ...
A Methodology for Identifying Retrofit Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Measured energy savings resulting from energy conservation retrofits in commercial buildings can be used to verify the success of the retrofits, determine the payment schedule for the retrofits, and guide the selection of ...
Calibration of Tangential Paddlewheel Insertion Flowmeters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper reports on the efforts to calibrate flow sensors that are being used to monitor building thermal energy use in a large scale monitoring project. Several insertion-type paddlewheel meters are being tested with a ...
Calibration of Relative Humidity Transducers for use in the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In support of the Texas LoanSTAR Energy Conservation Program, the Texas A&M University Monitoring and Analysis Program (MAP) calibration facility has been performing relative humidity calibrations for transducers being ...
The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration in an Outdoor Test Cell
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The energy consumption calculation of house envelopes assumes that conduction heat loss is independent on air infiltration heat loss, and that energy consumption is the sum of these losses. Anderlind [1985], Liu [1987], ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Characterizing Loanstar Buildings & Energy Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents an overview of the buildings participating in the Texas LoanSTAR program. In this paper, we categorized the buildings in terms of their number, size, percent area effected, types of buildings, types of ...
Flywheel Cooling: A Cooling Solution for Non Air-Conditioned Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
"Flywheel Cooling" utillzes the natural cooling processes of evaporation, ventilation and air circulation. These systems are providing low-cost cooling for distribution centers, warehouses, and other non air-conditioned ...
Reduced Energy and Maintenance Costs Using Polyurethane as a Replacement Roof System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Reduction in maintenance and allied costs was the number one priority when Texas A&M University first considered polyurethane foam as a replacement roof for existing buildings. An investigation revealed
that when properly ...
ACT2 Project: Measuring Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Pacific Gas and Electric Company has initiated a major demonstration project to test the hypothesis that substantial energy efficiency improvements can be achieved in customer facilities at costs competitive with supply. ...
The Revised Austin Energy Code and Comparisons with the Texas State Energy Standard
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
For the past two years the City of Austin Energy Code has been under review using the State Energy Standard and ASHRAE 90.2P as models for the revised Austin Energy Code. The major changes to these documents are presented ...
