The Revised Austin Energy Code and Comparisons with the Texas State Energy Standard
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
For the past two years the City of Austin Energy Code has been under review using the State Energy Standard and ASHRAE 90.2P as models for the revised Austin Energy Code. The major changes to these documents are presented ...
Atmospheric Condensation Potential of Windows in Hot, Humid Climates
(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 ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Improving the Performance of Retrofits by Providing Operator Feedback from Measured Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper describes how continuous monitoring and follow-up has improved the savings from energy conservation retrofits in the LoanSTAR program. It describes the importance of the feedback from the facility engineer or ...
Indoor Air Quality Observations in Public Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Investigations of indoor air qmlity or indoor
environment problems were accomplished in seven
different Texas schools. The schools were located
in hot and humid climates. Comfort and mildew were
the most frequent complaints. ...
Case Study: Sick Building Syndrome in a Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
An indepth environmental investigation was conducted at a four-story
building officing 1200 employees in Oklahoma. A
preassessment and walkthrough of the facility revealed extensive
ongoing renovations throughout the ...
Air Exchange Rates in New Energy-Efficient Manufactured Housing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
During the 1989-1990 heating season, Pacific Northwest
Laboratory, for the Bonneville Power Administration,
measured the ventilation characteristics of 139 newly
constructed energy-efficient manufactured homes and a
control ...
Duct Leakage Impacts on Airtightness, Infiltration, and Peak Electrical Demand in Florida Homes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Testing for duct leakage was done in 155 homes. Tracer
gas tests found that infiltration rates were three times greater
when the air handler was operating than when it was off.
Infiltration averaged 0.85 air changes per ...
Low Temperature Air Distribution with Ice Storage System: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
This paper discusses the performance of an off peak ice
storage air conditioning system
installed on an office warehouse
building in Dallas, Texas. The
system also incorporates a low
temperature (45 degree) air
distribution ...
Personal Computer-Based Model for Cool Storage Performance Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
A personal computer based hourly
simulation model was developed based on the
CBS/ICE routines in the DOE-2.1 mainframe
building simulation software. The menu
driven new model employs more efficient data
and information ...
Model Code for the Control of Residential HVAC Distribution System Leakage and HVAC-Induced Building Leakage
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Modifications to local and state codes are seen as an
appropriate strategy for the prevention of residential air
distribution system leakage and its impacts. A model code
element has been developed to assist this ...
