      Texas A&M University main campus in College Station consists of 114 buildings served by two central plants. The two main campus loops are more than 50 years old with a total piping length for each loop in excess of 13 ...
    • Dannenmaier, J. H. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1979)
      Rising electricity prices have prompted investigation of utility rates and proposals for changed in their design. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the current design of electric rates, changes proposed, actual trends, ...
    • Gilbert, J. S. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
      While the price of energy may have stabilized for the moment, the impact of several years of rate increases in the cost of energy, materials, and labor have made American industry re-evaluate their operations. Utilities ...
