Solar Water Heating: What's Hot and What's Not
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
A handful of electric utilities in the United States now pay incentives to their customers to install solar water heaters or are developing programs to do so. The solar water heater incentives are part of a broader utility ...
Evaluation of Energy Efficiency Measures in Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
Hot and humid climates present some of the most complex challenges for sustainable building designs. High temperatures coupled with high humidity create extreme comfort problems and exacerbate the potential for condensation, ...
A Methodology for Identifying Retrofit Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Measured energy savings resulting from energy conservation retrofits in commercial buildings can be used to verify the success of the retrofits, determine the payment schedule for the retrofits, and guide the selection of ...
