(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
The purpose of this paper is to summarize
from an ESCO viewpoint some of the risks and
rewards of participating in DSM bidding programs
before deciding to submit a bid.
Development of a Humid Climate Definition
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The role of humidity in indoor air quality has
become of increasing concern in recent years. High
indoor humidities can result in microbial growth on
building surfaces, resulting in poor indoor air quality,
as well as ...
The Impact of Residential Air Conditioner Charging and Sizing on Peak Electrical Demand
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Electric utilities have had a number of air conditioner rebate
and maintenance programs for many years. The purpose of
these programs was to improve the efficiency of the stock of
air conditioning equipment and provide ...
Field Evaluation of Desiccant-Integrated HVAC Systems: A Review of Case Studies in Multiple Commercial/Institutional Building Types
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
An independent field research effort co-funded by
the Gas Research Institute and The U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory is
documenting the performance and energy usage
characteristics of active ...
Reducing Pump Power Consumption by 40% (1000 KW) Through Improved Pump Management in a Central Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Chilled water system data collection and field
measurements performed at the Central Utility Plant
of Texas A&M University revealed that 30 - 50 % of
the primary pump head is consumed by manual and
automatic valves being ...
Operation & Maintenance for Quality Indoor Air
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The results of numerous Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
building investigations conducted by the Georgia Tech
Research Institute have shown that building Operation

and architectural design of vernacular architecture in
East Africa. It relates the history of architectural
theory and contemporary practice of environmental
control. Firstly, ...
Daylighting: Measuring the Performance of Light Shelves and Occupant-Controlled Blinds on a Dimmed Lighting Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The design of a day lighted space is both an art and
a science. The biggest challenge facing the lighting
designer is to admit only as much light as necessary
and distribute it evenly throughout the space without
introducing ...
Building Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality - You Can Have Both
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Providing ventilation for acceptable indoor air
quality per ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 does not
require large increases in utility costs. Building
efficiency does not have to be sacrificed for a
healthy building. The ASHRAE ...
