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 ...
The Southeast Energy Efficiency Alliance Green City Program: Assisting Cities and Municipalities to Engage Customers and Develop Effective Energy Efficiency Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
The Southeastern region of the United States is at a critical turning point in its development. With twice the population growth of the country overall, the demand for energy is projected to increase by 30% in the next 20 ...
Air Conditioner Efficiency Under Hot Dry and Hot Humid Conditions - The Utility Perspective
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
The Economics of LEED-EB for Single Buildings and Building Portfolios

Climate Change Awareness Time Line: How Did We Get to Today?
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
The climate change issue has really entered the awareness of the general
public within the last two years or so. During that time, references in the
media have progressed from the back page of the newspapers to front
page ...
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 ...
Daylighting Design Tools in Atria for Minimum Cooling Loads in Atrium Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The daylighting and sunlighting value of an atrium are considered the main reasons for including the atrium use in the built environment. However, most atria today are either overlit, which causes tremendous cooling loads, ...
Climate Change: Some Scientific and Political Realities
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
Atmospheric scientists tell us that mankind is changing the climate, and is
setting in motion forces that can make essentially irreversible changes in
the climate of the future. Naysayers dispute whether mankind is ...
Calculating Emissions Reductions from Renewable Energy Programs and its Application to the Wind Farms in the Texas Ercot Region
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
In August 2008 the Texas State Legislature required adding 5,880 MW of generating capacity from renewable energy technologies by 2015, and 500 MW from non-wind renewables. This legislation also required the Public Utility ...
