Analysis of Air Conditioning Effectiveness vs. Outdoor Conditions: Traditional Bins or Joint Frequency Bins?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
There are a number of methods used to
estimate the effectiveness of air conditioning
equipment in handling loads. Full hourly
computer simulations are probably the most
accurate, but lack flexibility and are more
cumbersome ...
Data Quality Requirements for Determining Energy Savings in the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
This paper briefly describes an ongoing
energy retrofit program, the Weatherization
Assistance Program (WAF') of the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
After briefly reviewing the various parameters
that ...
Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Application and Results
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
In the theory and modeling part, the
principles of VAV box optimization are
investigated. The simulations show that
optimizing cold and hot deck reset schedules can
significantly reduce the amount of energy
consumption.
During ...
Monitoring Viable Fungal and Bacterial Bioaerosol Concentrations to Identify Acceptable Levels for Common Indoor Environments
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Bioaerosol concentrations between 200 -
450 CFU/m3 have remained largely uncharacterized
with respect to potential indoor air
quality concerns. This research provides for
further description of indoor bioaerosol
concentrations ...
Energy Use and Costs in Texas Schools and Hospitals
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Procedures are presented for documenting and graphically presenting the monthly and
annual energy use and costs for schools and hospitals. Collected data include monthly
electrical energy consumed, monthly total electrical ...
Applications of Commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters in Hot, Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Heat pump water heaters can provide high-efficiency water heating and supplemental space cooling and dehumidification in commercial buildings throughout the United States. They are particularly attractive in hot, humid ...
Use of Calibrated Simulation for the Evaluation of Residential Energy Conservation Options of Two Habitat for Humanity Houses in Houston, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper describes a project where selected energy
conservation measures in two Habitat for Humanity
houses in Houston, Texas were measured using side-by-
side measurements of identical houses and
calibrated simulation. ...
Energy Performance Contracting for Texas: The Collaborative Process
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Peak Demand Reduction with Dual-Source Heat Pumps Using Municipal Water
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The objective of this project was to examine a dual-source (air and/or water-coupled) heat pump concept which would reduce or eliminate the need for supplemental electrical resistance heating (strip heaters). The project ...
Radiant Barrier Performance during the Heating Season
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of winter experiments conducted in Central Texas are presented. The experiments were side-by-side tests using two identical 144 ft2 houses which responded similarly to weather variations prior to any retrofits. Two ...
