Trends in Building Energy Usage in Texas State Agencies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
In late 1983, a cost containment program was
initiated out of the governor's office directed at
the major state agencies. The Energy Management
Group at Texas A&M University provided technical
expertise in obtaining agency ...
Water and Space Heating Heat Pumps
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
This paper discusses the design and operation of the Trane Weathertron III Heat Pump Water Heating
System and includes a comparison of features and performance to other domestic water heating systems.
Domestic water is ...
Air Handling Unit Supply Air Temperature Optimization During Economizer Cycles
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2007)
Most air handling units (AHUs) in commercial buildings have an air economizer cycle for free cooling under certain outside air conditions. During the economizer cycle, the outside air and return air dampers are modulated ...
Design of Control Systems for HVAC Applications
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
The design and application of temperature control systems on a commercial building will bring the question to mind: Should the system be Pneumatic? Should it be Electronic? There is concern as to which system will be more ...
Embedding Continuous Commissioning in an Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2006)
his paper presents a case study where Continuous Commissioning (CC), a process that optimizes the HVAC system operation and controls to reduce the building energy consumption and improve comfort, was embedded as one Energy ...
The Earth-Coupled or Geothermal Heat Pump Air Conditioning System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
As utility costs have risen despite political
campaign promises and energy conserving measures
implemented by the utility companies such as alternative
fuel use (coal and nuclear), co-generation,
etc., homeowners have begun ...
Earth-Coupled Water-Source Heat Pump Research, Design and Applications in Louisiana
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
An earth-coupled water-source heat pump uses
the earth as the thermal source and sink for
economical, energy efficient, space heating and
cooling. Water exiting the heat pump passes through
an earth heat exchanger, which ...
The Design of Ground-Coupled Heat Pump Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Ground-coupled heat pumps are being installed
in increasing numbers due to proven performance and
economy.
The overall thermal resistance between the
ground coupling fluid and a given type of
surrounding soil is affected ...
Graphical Methods in Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
It goes without saying that more efficient use of electrical energy results in savings for both companies and their customers, but effective communication of such information to customers, clients, management, and anyone ...
Energy Savings in Buildings Using Air Movement and Allowing Floating Temperature in Rooms
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
The purpose of the research study was to determine if building loads could be reduced by using an intelligent controller rather than a thermostatic controller to operate heating and air conditioning equipment. In order to ...
