The Potential of Energy Management and Control Systems for Real-Time Electricity Pricing Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
In implementing an integrated electric utility network, direct
communication between the utility and customers is an
important component. The rapid penetration of computer
building control technology in larger commercial ...
Building Envelope Design/Retrofit Utilizing Fresnel Type Overhangs in Hot Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The selection of exterior elements for control of
solar incidence has been a major concern for
engineers, architects, and lighting designers.
This concern relates to problems of thermal heat
gain, direct glare and veiling ...
Case Study of Stratified Chilled Water Storage Utilization for Comfort and Process Cooling in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The advantages of thermal storage are enhanced
in hot and humid climates. Year-round cooling
loads increase thermal storage operating cost
savings. The absence of a long winter during which
major maintenance tasks can be ...
Using Mentor, an Expert System, to Perform Preventative Maintenance and Diagnostics on Centrifugal Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Mentor is an expert system which was developed and
introduced in 1986 assists service refrigeration techs to perform
the correct preventative maintenance (PM) and diagnostics on
centrifugal chillers at the right time. This ...
Metering and Calibration in LoanSTAR Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
End-use metering in commercial buildings often
requires installation of a large variety of transducers and data
loggers. The metering installation group in the LoanSTAR
monitoring program has the primary responsibility for ...
Rehabilitating A Thermal Storage System Through Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
A thermal storage system was installed in a
37,000 ft2 hospital in April 1992. The chiller
had to be operated every summer during peak
demand periods until the authors rehabilitated
system through building commissioning ...
Mean Radiant Cooling in a Hot-Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Shaded interior mass walls in a hot-humid
climate can be thermally grounded to an earth
heat sink under an insulated structure. The mean
radiant temperature (MRT) of the shaded and
thermally grounded interior mass walls ...
Instrumenting Buildings to Determine Retrofit Savings: Murphy's Law Strikes Again
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Experiences with instrumentation, installation
and maintenance of building energy metering systems
are presented. The building energy metering was
installed in a variety of locations in programs handled
by the Energy Systems ...
Computer Energy Modeling Techniques for Simulation Large Scale Correctional Institutes in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Building energy simulation programs have
undergone an increase in use for evaluating energy
consumption and energy conservation retrofits in
buildings. Utilization of computer simulation
programs for large facilities ...
Use of DOE-2 to Evaluate Evaporative Cooling in Texas Correctional Facilities
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996)
This study investigates the feasibility of using
direct and indirect evaporative cooling systems for
correctional facilities in two different Texas climatic
regions with the DOE-2.1E hourly energy simulation
program. ...
