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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A Study of the Pre-Programmed Thermostat Timer as a Load Control Device
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Monitoring equipment was installed on a
residential air conditioning unit to test the
effects of a pre-programmed thermostat timer.
This was done to determine its effect on the
utility's load shape for the purpose of ...
Load Management Made Simple
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Up until the 1970's electric utilities were basically in a
supply side management mode, in which
plants were built to serve whatever
demand customers required. However in the last 10-
15 years, many utilities, including ...
