Park Load Reduction by Preconditioning of Buildings at Night
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Cooling loads during the peak period can be
reduced if a building is subcooled a few degrees
below its normal thermostat setpoint during the
preceding night. During the day, the thermostat
must control the warmup in such ...
Residential Thermal Mass Construction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The southwest has long known the
value of building homes with high mass
materials. The ancient Pueblo Indians
found that by using "adobe" they could
capture the energy necessary to
survive the harsh desert climate. ...
Cool Storage Economic Feasibility Analysis for a Large Industrial Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The analysis of economic feasibility for adding a cool
storage facility to shift electric demand to off-peak hours for a
large industrial facility is presented. DOE-2 is used to generate
the necessary cooling load profiles ...
MAD-AIR
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Forced air heating ard air corditioning duct
systems in residential housing have been largely
overlcoked in house diagnostics. Even the building
is itself a part of the overall ir distribution
system. When a duct system ...
Office Building Uses Ice Storage, Heat Recovery, and Cold-Air Distribution
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1989)
Ice storage offers many opportunities
to use other tcchnologies, such as heat
recovery and cold-air distribution. In
fact, by using them, the designer can
improve the efficiency and lower the
construction cost of an ice ...
Field Evaluation of Desiccant-Integrated HVAC Systems: A Review of Case Studies in Multiple Commercial/Institutional Building Types
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
An independent field research effort co-funded by
the Gas Research Institute and The U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory is
documenting the performance and energy usage
characteristics of active ...
Reducing Pump Power Consumption by 40% (1000 KW) Through Improved Pump Management in a Central Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Chilled water system data collection and field
measurements performed at the Central Utility Plant
of Texas A&M University revealed that 30 - 50 % of
the primary pump head is consumed by manual and
automatic valves being ...
Ground Loops for Heat Pumps and Refrigeration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Ground loops are used for water source heat
pumps. Refrigeration can be put on a ground loop.
Water-cooled condensing units are more efficient
than air-cooled, and they can be put indoors.
Indoor location makes piping for ...
Desiccant Cooling Systems - A Review
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
Desiccant cooling systems have been investigated extensively during the past decade as alternatives to electrically driven vapor compression
systems because regeneration temperatures of the
desiccant - about 160°F, can be ...
Experimental Results on Advanced Rotary Desiccant Dehumidifiers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1986)
The Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) has
developed the Cyclic Test Facility (CTF) to develop
and validate analytical methods for evaluating and
predicting the performance of advanced rotary dehumidifiers.
