Electrical Energy Conservation and Peak Demand Reduction Potential for Buildings in Texas: Preliminary Results
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
This paper presents preliminary results of a
study of electrical energy conservation and peak
demand reduction potential for the building sector
in Texas. Starting from 1980 building stocks and
energy use characteristics, ...
Computer Room Fresh Air Cooling
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
This paper discusses the concept of a
computer room fresh air cooling system with
evaporative humidification. The system offers
significantly lower energy consumption than
conventional cooling units, with 24% reduction ...
An Empirical Study and Analysis of Daylight Penetration Through a Light Plenum
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Lighting accounts for approximately 54% of the
annual energy consumption of office buildings, and
can effectively be reduced through daylighting. The
simplest way to provide day lighting into a typical
office space has ...
Continuous Controls: Lighting Energy Management for Retrofit and New Construction Projects
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
The rising interest of specifiers and end-users
in Lighting Energy Management (LEM) control
equipment has led to an increased need for further
education in the selection, capabilities and applications
of such equipment.
This ...
Daylighting Analysis through Scale Model, Full Scale Measurements and Computer Analysis for a Texas A&M University Campus Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
In the first part of this study, daylighting levles in an actualy classroom are compared to scale model measurements and to computer program predictions.
Secondly, the daylighting effects in the building atrium are examined ...
Evaporative Roof Cooling - A Simple Solution to Cut Cooling Costs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Since the "Energy Crisis" Evaporative Roof
Cooling Systems have gained increased acceptance
as a cost effective method to reduce the high cost
of air conditioning. Documented case histories in
retrofit installations show ...
Case Study: Passive Solar Concepts Adapted to In-Fill Housing in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
In-fill housing for central city areas appears
to be an answer to the continuing need for compact,
affordable dwelling unite that will improve the
neighborhood environment. There exist many central
city areas in Louisiana ...
Design Tools for Evaluating Alternative Strategies' Impact on Human Comfort
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Many designers recognize that energy
savings can be achieved with alternative or
innovative strategies; however, few design
tools have been available to assist
designers with evaluating alternatives.
This paper demonstrates ...
Avoided Gigawatts Through Utility Capital Recovery Fees
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Electric rate structures can be used to provide
customers with the proper pricing signals as well as
provide economic incentives for increased market penetration for energy efficient new buildings. An
innovative, marginal ...
Operating Experience and Economic Assessment of Commercial and Industrial Cool Storage Systems - TVA Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1985)
Thermal storage systems offer utilities a
means to change the energy use patterns of both
residential and commercial and industrial (C&I)
customers by moving water-heating and space-conditioning
loads from peak to offpeak ...
