Effects of Radiant Barrier Systems on Ventilated Attics in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of side-by-side radiant barrier experiments using two identical 144 ft2 (nominal) test houses are presented. The test houses responded very similarly to weather variations prior to the retrofit. The temperatures ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Continuous Commissioning® data including savings, costs, and implemented measures from over 60 buildings and sites commissioned by staff from the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University are presented. Measured ...
Cogeneration Opportunities in Texas State Agencies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
In 1983, Texas Governor Mark White initiated an
energy cost containment program for the largest
state agencies. The Energy Management Group of the
Mechanical Engineering Department at Texas A&M University
was called ...
A Twelve Year, $10 Million Energy Initiative Marching On: the Texas A&M University Campus Energy Systems CC®
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The $58.5 million in measured savings for the twelve-year, $10 million continuous commissioning®
(CC®) program at the Texas A&M University (TAMU) makes the decision to continue easy. In today's energy environment and with ...

(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The DFW International Airport is one of the largest and busiest airports in the world. Located in North Texas, squarely between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, the DFW Airport not only serves a huge population in ...
Continuous Commissioning® Opportunities in Hospital and Laboratory Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
This paper compiles the Continuous Commissioning® (CC®) costs, savings, and opportunities implemented in 20 hospital and laboratory commissioning projects involving 48 buildings. The potential savings and costs from 25 CC ...
Development of Baseline Monthly Utility Models for Fort Hood, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The Fort Hood Army base in central Texas has more than 5,200 buildings and can be considered as typical of large Department of Defense Army bases in the continental United States. The annual utility bill of the base exceeds ...
Insertion Paddlewheel Flowmeters: An Evaluation After Two Years of Use
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1993-03)
Insertion paddlewheel flowmeters were removed from field installations after 12 to 24 months of service for inspection and calibration. The tests were designed to identify meter degradation because of scale and debris on ...
Airside Economizer- Comparing Different Control Strategies and Common Misconceptions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Air-side economizer is broadly adopted in building HVAC design and operations. When the system is properly designed and the control sequence is properly implemented, air-side economizer provides significant energy savings. ...
Radiant Barrier Performance during the Heating Season
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of winter experiments conducted in Central Texas are presented. The experiments were side-by-side tests using two identical 144 ft2 houses which responded similarly to weather variations prior to any retrofits. Two ...
