Comparative Summer Thermal Performance of Finished and Unfinished Metal Roofing Products with Composition Shingles
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
This paper presents an overview of results from
experimental research conducted at FSEC's Flexible
Roofing Facility in the summer of 2002. The Flexible
Roof Facility (FRF) is a test facility in Cocoa, Florida
designed to ...
Daylighting: Measuring the Performance of Light Shelves and Occupant-Controlled Blinds on a Dimmed Lighting Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The design of a day lighted space is both an art and
a science. The biggest challenge facing the lighting
designer is to admit only as much light as necessary
and distribute it evenly throughout the space without
introducing ...
Development of a High Efficiency Ceiling Fan
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The potential of ceiling fans to improve comfort
during the cooling season is well documented (Rohles
et al.. 1983; Fairey et al.. 1986). There are at least
two cases: In the first where air conditioning is unavailable,
adding ...
Measured Natural Cooling Enhancement of a While House Fan
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
An experimental study was carried out in the
summer of 1991 to investigate the natural cooling
potential of use of a whole house fan in Central
Florida's hot and humid climate. The residential
building, in Cocoa Beach, FL, ...
Monitored Energy Use Patterns in Low-Income Housing in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is
metering energy use in two Habitat for Humanity
developments. The objective is to understand how
energy is used in low income housing and how it can
be effectively reduced.
The ten ...
Measured Impacts of Air Conditioner Condenser Shading
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
A study has been conducted by the Florida
Solar Energy Center (FSEC) to examine if space
cooling energy savings can be achieved from shading
of residential air conditioning (AC) condenser units.
The investigation consisted ...
Side-by-Side Testing of Commercial Office Lighting Systems: Two-lamp Fluorescent Fixtures
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Lighting systems in commercial office
buildings are primary determinants of building
energy use. In warmer climates, lighting energy use
has important implications for building cooling loads
as well as those directly ...
Measured Energy Savings from Retrofits Installed in Low-Income Housing in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) is metering
energy use in a Habitat for Humanity housing
development. The objective is to understand the way
in which energy is used in low income housing and
how it can be effectively ...
Measured Performance of Energy-Efficient Computer Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The intent of this study is to explore the potential
performance of both Energy Star computers/printers
and add-on control devices individually, and their
expected savings if collectively applied in a typical
office building ...
Optimizing Manufactured Housing Energy Use
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
In partnership with the Florida Solar Energy
Center (FSEC), two manufactured homes were
located on North Carolina A&T State University's
campus in Greensboro, NC and used in a side-by-side
energy consumption comparison. ...
