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 ...
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 ...
Survey of Energy Use in Grocery Stores
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents the results of an energy use survey assembled for 93 grocery stores in south Texas. All stores were of the same chain. Several conclusions were drawn. Total electricity consumption per square foot is ...
Data Management in the LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
