The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration Under Dynamic Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Energy consumption due to air infiltration is customarily assumed to equal the mass flow rate times the specific enthalpy difference between the inside and outside air. Anderlind showed theoretically that this represents ...
Disaggregating Cooling Energy Use of Commercial Buildings Into Sensible and Latent Fractions From Whole-Building Monitored Data: Methodology and Advantages
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot and humid climates, where summers are both warm and humid, the latent cooling can be a significant portion of the total cooling load (as much as 40%). Typically the monitored data only includes whole-building heating ...
Survey of Energy Use in Grocery Stores
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents the results of an energy use survey assembled for 93 grocery stores in south Texas. All stores were of the same chain. Several conclusions were drawn. Total electricity consumption per square foot is ...
Cooling-Only Prism Analysis of Eleven College Station Homes and Interpretation of Building Physical Parameters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
A cooling-only PRISM analysis has been
performed on eleven new residences in College
Station using electricity billing data over an entire
year. This study revealed that, provided one corrects
for effects such as vacation ...
Program Overview: The Texas LoanSTAR Program; 1989-August 1997
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Texas LoanSTAR mans to Save Taxes
and Resources) program was conceived as a $98.6
million capital retrofit program for building energy
efficiency. The funding source is petroleum violation
escrow funds (PVE) from the ...
Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Theory and Model Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Optimal hot and cold deck reset schedules
can decrease simultaneous heating and cooling
in VAV AHUs comparing with constant cold
deck temperature operation. In this paper,
optimization models are developed. The energy
impacts ...
Development of Baseline Monthly Utility Models for Fort Hood, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Fort Hood Army base in central
Texas has more than 5,200 buildings and can be
considered as typical of large Department of
Defense Army bases in the continental United
States. The annual utility bill of the base ...
Use of EMCS Recorded Data to Identify Potential Savings Due to Improved HVAC Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
In most chiller and boiler central plants, the
energy management and control systems (EMCS)
monitor and record key operation parameters and
energy production continuously. A method was
developed to identify potential O&M ...
Environmental Impact of the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents an analysis of the
environmental impact of the energy reductions that
have been measured in the Texas LoanSTAR
program. There are a number of factors that
influence emission factors. The three major ...
Analysis of Texas LoanSTAR Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The analysis effort during the first year of the Texas LoanSTAR
Monitoring and Analysis Program has emphasized selection and
development of baseline analysis techniques to cover the range
of buildings expected in the ...
