(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
In March of 1992 Walnut Hill United
Methodist Church in Dallas, Tx. decided
that their existing thermal storage and
electric reciprocating chiller system were
both in need of replacement. After
analyzing several options, ...
Affordable Housing for Artists: A Sustainable Prototype
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Although many architects and builders feel
that designing for both sustainability and
affordability is impossible, I believe that the only
way we can afford to live is sustainably. Through
the design of housing for artists, ...
Modification and Validation of a Universal Thermodynamic Chiller Model Used to Evaluate the Performance of Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents modifications made to the
procedure used to develop a universal
thermodynamic model of chillers (Gordon and Ng,
1995). The modifications were necessary to capture
physical phenomena involved when water ...
Evaluating Texas State University Energy Consumption According to Productivity
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Energy Utilization Index, energy
consumption per square foot of floor area, is the
most commonly used index of building energy
consumption. However, a building or facility exists
solely to support the activities of its ...

escrow funds (PVE) from the ...
Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Theory and Model Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Optimal hot and cold deck reset schedules
can decrease simultaneous heating and cooling
in VAV AHUs comparing with constant cold
deck temperature operation. In this paper,
optimization models are developed. The energy
impacts ...

Environmental Impact of the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents an analysis of the
environmental impact of the energy reductions that
have been measured in the Texas LoanSTAR
program. There are a number of factors that
influence emission factors. The three major ...
Development of a Humid Climate Definition
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The role of humidity in indoor air quality has
become of increasing concern in recent years. High
indoor humidities can result in microbial growth on
building surfaces, resulting in poor indoor air quality,
as well as ...
