The Effect of Reduced Evaporator Air Flow on the Performance of a Residential Central Air Conditioner
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper discusses the measured degradation in performance of a residential air conditioning system operating under reduced evaporator air flow. Experiments were conducted using a R-22 three-ton split-type cooling system ...
Energy Consumption and Demand as Affected by Heat Pumps that Cool, Heat and Heat Domestic Water
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Products or systems that heat, cool and heat domestic water, which are also referred to as integrated systems, have been available for several years. The concept is simple and appeals to consumers.
This paper presents ...
Testing Data Acquisition Systems for Use in Monitoring Building Energy Conservation Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Dedicated microprocessor-based data acquisition systems
are beginning to be used to monitor the energy savings from
building energy conservation retrofits. These systems capture
data from important monitoring points and ...
Effects of Radiant Barrier Systems on Ventilated Attics in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of side-by-side radiant barrier experiments using two identical 144 ft2 (nominal) test houses are presented. The test houses responded very similarly to weather variations prior to the retrofit. The temperatures ...
Non-Intrusive Electric Load Monitoring in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Increased interest in optimal control, energy scorekeeping and
fault detection for HVAC equipment in commercial buildings has
focused attention on instrumentation required to obtain the
desired data. In this paper we ...
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 ...
Analysis for the Design of a Sustainable Housing Complex in Haiti
(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 ...
A Regenerative High-Rise Tower in Shreveport, Louisiana
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
Zero Net Energy Buildings are increasingly being designed and constructed in response to the demand for sustainable buildings. But, we must now go beyond merely sustaining our environment for future generations we must ...
