The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration in an Outdoor Test Cell
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The energy consumption calculation of house envelopes assumes that conduction heat loss is independent on air infiltration heat loss, and that energy consumption is the sum of these losses. Anderlind [1985], Liu [1987], ...
Opportunities for Energy Conservation and Improved Comfort From Wind Washing Retrofits in Two-Story Homes - Part I
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
Wind washing is a general term referring to diminished thermal control caused by air movement over or through a thermal barrier. The primary focus of this paper is towards a specific type of wind washing where wind can ...
Technical and Economic Analysis of Solar Cooling Systems in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
The aim of this paper is to promote efficient and cost effective implementation of advanced solar cooling systems and techniques for the hot and humid climates cities in the United States. After an introduction of basic ...
Natural Ventilation Applications in Hot-humid Climate: A Preliminary Design for the College of Design at NTUST
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
In Taiwan’s humid environment, the application of natural ventilation is an essential passive strategy for high performance buildings. However, conventional architectural design tools are rarely capable of analyzing the ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Characterizing Loanstar Buildings & Energy Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents an overview of the buildings participating in the Texas LoanSTAR program. In this paper, we categorized the buildings in terms of their number, size, percent area effected, types of buildings, types of ...
Development of the Potential Energy Savings Estimation (PESE) Toolkit
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This study has developed a prototype computer tool called the Potential Energy Savings Estimation (PESE) Toolkit. Baltazar’s methodology for potential energy savings estimation from EBCx/retrofit measures has been improved ...
Flywheel Cooling: A Cooling Solution for Non Air-Conditioned Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
"Flywheel Cooling" utillzes the natural cooling processes of evaporation, ventilation and air circulation. These systems are providing low-cost cooling for distribution centers, warehouses, and other non air-conditioned ...
Development of Data Quality Control Limits for Data Screening through the "Energy Balance" Method
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Energy management processes such as accounting energy cost, finding overuse in energy, and determining savings from energy conservation programs largely depends on measured energy use data. Identifying and correcting faulty ...
Analysis of Off-Grid, Off-Pipe Housing for Hot-Humid and Hot-Arid Climates
(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 ...
