Development of a Calibration Methodology for Code-compliant Simulation of a Case Study House in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This paper describes a comparison of the results between a code-compliant DOE-2 simulation and monthly utility bills for a case study house in College Station, Texas. The comparison of the results is a preliminary step ...
Energy Efficiency/Renewable Energy Impact in the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP)

Thermal Effects of Moisture in Rigid Insulation Board
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The impact of moisture in rigid roof insulation upon energy consumption is often assumed to be a simple function of the conductance. This paper will show that there are complex interactions between conductance, thermal ...
The Use and Benefits of Video Inspection in Lined and Unlined Ductwork in IAQ Surveys and "Source Removal" Cleaning Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
New technology has developed video equipment capable of inspecting interior lined and unlined ductwork. Where IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) questions require inspections of suspicious air conveyance systems. Video recordings ...
Low Impact, Affordable, Low Income Houses for Mexico
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This paper discusses an effort to develop low impact, affordable, low income houses for Mexico. Low impact houses are defined as houses with energy and water needs that are substantially reduced below levels corresponding ...
Disaggregating Cooling Energy Use of Commercial Buildings Into Sensible and Latent Fractions From Whole-Building Monitored Data: Methodology and Advantages
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot and humid climates, where summers are both warm and humid, the latent cooling can be a significant portion of the total cooling load (as much as 40%). Typically the monitored data only includes whole-building heating ...
Description and Comparison of the Results of the Proposed House: Habitat for Humanity at Frazier Court, Dallas, Texas, with the 2004 IECC Standard Reference House
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-09)
The Energy Systems Laboratory was requested to calculate the emissions reductions associated
with the Habitat for Humanity Housing Project at Frazier Court, Dallas Texas. This report presents the
results of the required ...
A Review of Ground Coupled Heat Pump Models Used in Whole-Building Computer Simulation Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
Increasingly, building owners are turning to ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems to improve energy efficiency. Ground-coupled heat pump (GCHP) systems with a vertical closed ground loop heat exchanger are one of the ...
Internal Microclimate Resulting From Ventilated Attics in Hot and Humid Regions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
Ventilated spaces in the built environment create unique and beneficial microclimates. While the current trends in building physics suggest sealing attics and crawlspaces, comprehensive research still supports the benefits ...
