The Effect of Reduced Evaporator Air Flow on the Performance of a Residential Central Air Conditioner
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper discusses the measured degradation in performance of a residential air conditioning system operating under reduced evaporator air flow. Experiments were conducted using a R-22 three-ton split-type cooling system ...
Testing Data Acquisition Systems for Use in Monitoring Building Energy Conservation Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Dedicated microprocessor-based data acquisition systems
are beginning to be used to monitor the energy savings from
building energy conservation retrofits. These systems capture
data from important monitoring points and ...
A Comparative Analysis of Residential Energy Use for 2009 IECC Code Compliance and 2001 IECC Compliance with 2006 NAECA Appliance Standards for Selected Climate Zones in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (Http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This paper presents results of a comparative analysis of the electricity and natural gas savings from the implementation of 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) when compared with the 2001 IECC1 specifications ...
Methodology for Residential Building Energy Simulations Implemented in the International Code Compliance Calculator (IC3)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
Since 2001, Texas has been proactive in initiating clean air and energy efficiency in building policies. The Texas Emissions Reduction Plan legislation (SB 5, 77TH Leg., 2001) mandates statewide adoption of energy codes, ...
Analysis of the Energy Savings Potential in K-5 Schools in Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper presents the analysis of the energy savings potential in K-5 schools in hot and humid climates. For the analysis, an existing K-5 school in Central Texas was selected as a case study school, and the building ...
Development of a Texas Building Registry
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
The Texas Building Registry (TBR or Registry) provides data collection, storage, and analysis of above-code residential housing construction in Texas. The original system was developed to support the Texas Emissions Reduction ...
Calibration of Tangential Paddlewheel Insertion Flowmeters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper reports on the efforts to calibrate flow sensors that are being used to monitor building thermal energy use in a large scale monitoring project. Several insertion-type paddlewheel meters are being tested with a ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Characterizing Loanstar Buildings & Energy Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents an overview of the buildings participating in the Texas LoanSTAR program. In this paper, we categorized the buildings in terms of their number, size, percent area effected, types of buildings, types of ...
Analysis of Off-Grid, Off-Pipe Housing for Hot-Humid and Hot-Arid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
This paper investigates the feasibility of off-grid, off-pipe housing in hot-humid and hot-arid climates in the U.S. The study aims to eliminate the need for non-renewable sources of energy and municipal water in residences ...
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 ...
