Validation of the eCALC Commercial Code-Compliant Simulation Versus Measured Data from an Office Building in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper compares the results of a calibrated simulation of a case-study building versus simulation using the web-based eCALC code-compliant commercial simulation program (Haberl et al., 2004). Previously, as-built ...
Energy Performance Aspects of a Florida Green Roof Part 2
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Green roof installation in the United States is growing at a significant rate. There are a number of reasons for this growth including rainwater runoff reduction and aesthetic benefits. Energy performance evaluations of ...
Reduced Energy and Maintenance Costs Using Polyurethane as a Replacement Roof System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Reduction in maintenance and allied costs was the number one priority when Texas A&M University first considered polyurethane foam as a replacement roof for existing buildings. An investigation revealed
that when properly ...
Performance Evaluation of Hot Water Efficiency Plumbing System Using Thermal Valve
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
In Korea two popular water distribution systems—the branch type and the separate type systems—have serious drawbacks. The branch type suffers from temperature instability while the separate type suffers from excessive ...

ACT2 Project: Measuring Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Pacific Gas and Electric Company has initiated a major demonstration project to test the hypothesis that substantial energy efficiency improvements can be achieved in customer facilities at costs competitive with supply. ...
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 ...
Development of a Residential Code-compliant Web-based Energy Efficiency Calculator for Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency-in buildings policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation of 2001 mandated statewide adoption of energy codes; created a 5% ...
