    • Wall Design Redundancy for Improving the Moisture Performance of Building Cladding Systems in Hot-Humid Climates 
      Graham, C. W. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      An investigation of approximately 4,000 buildings in the hot-humid climate locations of the United States where the potential for decay of hygroscopic building materials or corrosion of metals is moderate-to-severe found ...
    • Wall Drying in Hot and Humid Climates 
      Boone, K.; Weston, T.; Pascual, X. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
      Moisture and subsequent mold problems in buildings are a serious and increasing concern for the building industry. Moisture intrusion in buildings is especially pertinent in hot and humid climates because the climate ...
    • Warm Humid Climate: Methodology to Study Air Temperature Distribution: Mobile Phones Base Stations as Viable Alternative for Fixed Points 
      Araujo, V.; Costa, A.; Labaki, L. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
    • Waste to Energy and Absorption Chiller: A Case Study 
      Wolpert, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
      All measured performance characteristics corresponded well to manufacturer's specifications or were within the expected range for this type of incinerator. The simplified economic analysis showed a payback of period ...
    • Water and Space Heating Heat Pumps 
      Kessler, A. F. (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 ...
    • Water-to-Air Heat Pump Performance with Lakewater 
      Kavanaugh, S.; Pezent, M. C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
      The performance of water-to-air heat pumps using lakewater as the heat source and sink has been investigated. Direct cooling with deep lakewater has also been considered. Although the emphasis of the work was with southern ...
    • Waterless Urinals: Features, Benefits and Applications 
      Bristow, G.; McClure, J. D.; Fisher, D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
      Billions of gallons of water are used annually to flush toilets in the United States. Consequences of this usage include consumption of natural resources and construction of new infrastructure to treat and transmit potable ...
    • "What's Going On Out There?" A Baseline Survey for the LCRA's Good Cents Home Program 
      Knutsen, T. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
      The question, What constitutes your baseline?" always challenges Demand-Side Management program staff. This study answers that question for the Lower Colorado River Authority's Good Cents Home Program. The Lower Colorado ...
    • Whole House Thermal Performance of Asphalt Shingles Exploiting Special Infrared Reflective Pigments 
      Hahn, L.; Miller, W.; Desjarlais, A.; Jacobs, J.; Youngquist, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
