-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)High-efficiency home designs have significantly reduced sensible cooling loads, and some building codes and IAQ standards have begun requiring continuous outdoor ventilation air. These trends have led to an increased ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)Pacific Gas and Electric Company has initiated a major demonstration project to test the hypothesis that substantial energy efficiency improvements can be achieved in customer facilities at costs competitive with supply. ...

-
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)Air-side economizer is broadly adopted in building HVAC design and operations. When the system is properly designed and the control sequence is properly implemented, air-side economizer provides significant energy savings. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)This paper presents sustainable strategies for the design of a prototype sustainable housing complex in tropical climate that applies specifically to Haiti. The tropical climate zone is hot and humid with abundant rainfall ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)This paper investigates the feasibility of off-grid, off-pipe housing in hot-humid and hot-arid climates in the U.S. The study aims to eliminate the need for non-renewable sources of energy and municipal water in residences ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)This paper presents the analysis of the energy savings potential in K-5 schools in hot and humid climates. For the analysis, an existing K-5 school in Central Texas was selected as a case study school, and the building ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)This paper presents results of an analysis of the annual electricity and natural gas savings from implementation of the 2001 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) specifications with updated 2006 specifications for ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)Heat pump water heaters can provide high-efficiency water heating and supplemental space cooling and dehumidification in commercial buildings throughout the United States. They are particularly attractive in hot, humid ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)Thermo electric (TE) devices offer an opportunity to introduce renewable energy into existing and new buildings. TE devices harvest energy from the temperature differential between the hot and cold side of a semiconductor ...
-
(Energy System Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)In a hot and humid climate such as Florida, “snowbirds” that leave their homes for extended summer periods need guidance on effective and energy efficient methods of humidity control. Experiments were performed in seven ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)In hot, humid climates, the internal surfaces of windows in air-conditioned buildings are in contact with relatively colder air. Meanwhile, the external surfaces are exposed to hot humid atmospheric air. This hygro-thermal ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)The 2007 University of Texas Solar Decathlon House is called the BLOOMhouse because it represents the “seed” of new ideas for zero net energy housing. The University of Texas student team developed a prefabricated 7.9 kW ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)In August 2008 the Texas State Legislature required adding 5,880 MW of generating capacity from renewable energy technologies by 2015, and 500 MW from non-wind renewables. This legislation also required the Public Utility ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)In support of the Texas LoanSTAR Energy Conservation Program, the Texas A&M University Monitoring and Analysis Program (MAP) calibration facility has been performing relative humidity calibrations for transducers being ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)This paper reports on the efforts to calibrate flow sensors that are being used to monitor building thermal energy use in a large scale monitoring project. Several insertion-type paddlewheel meters are being tested with a ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)The paper presents two case studies, a commercial & a community project, in Houston Texas, where energy simulation and a decision matrix were used to solve budget conflicts and meet LEED EA-1 requirements. The first case ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)In most applications, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment is controlled to maintain an indoor dry-bulb set point temperature. Moisture removal by the HVAC system is considered to be an operational ...
