A State Regulatory Perspective; New Building, Old Motors, and Marginal Electricity Generation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Electricity consumption in Texas is expected to grow at
3.2 percent annually for the next ten years. Utility demand
management activities, if effective, may reduce that
expected rate of growth. Residential cooling, ...
Energy Savings Resulting from Shading Devices on Single-Family Residences in Austin, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Potential annual energy savings resulting from
window shading devices on three prototypical
Austin, Texas, single-family residences were
computed in this study. Savings were calculated
for interior (shades, blinds, draperies, ...
Influence of Air Conditioner Operation on Electricity Use and Peak Demand
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Electricity demand due to occupant controlled room air conditioners in a large mater-metered apartment building is analyzed. Hourly data on the electric demand of the building and of individual air conditioners are used ...
Thermal Characteristics and Systems of Residential Construction in College Station, Texas: 1981-1986
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
This paper examines the energy efficiency
of residential construction in College
Station from 1981-1986. Housing sizes,
location, and construction activity by
various contractors are described using
data summarized from ...
Daylight Analysis with Microcomputers for School Buildings in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Daylighting and other passive energy technologies
are critical issues that should be considered in the
early stages of building planning and architectural
design. Both new design and retrofit of existing
buildings benefit ...
Strategic Energy Management Plan for the 1990's
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
This paper describes the strategic energy
management plan implemented by the Defense
Systems and Electronics Group (DSEG) of Texas
Instruments (TI) to enable it to meet its energy
management challenge into the 1990's. ...
Residential Humidity Control: Exciting New Opportunities with Air Flow Modulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
This paper reviews psychrometric principles and
shows how to formulate a psychrometric chart from a
single equation. The chart is used to demonstrate
the manner in which a conventional single-speed air
conditioner adjusts ...
Measurements and Comparisons of Lightshelf Performance in Two Texas Office Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Natural light (daylighting) in office
buildings is often used to supplement or eliminate
the artificial lighting otherwise required. When
daylight can be effectively admitted and
distributed, then energy is conserved, and ...
Evaluation of a Direct Evaporative Roof-Spray Cooling System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Roof-Spray cooling systems are being extensively used to
reduce the air-conditioning usage in industrial and commercial
buildings. In buildings without air-conditioning, evaporative
roof spray cooling systems help to reduce ...
Applications Tests of Commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Field application tests have been
conducted on three 4 to 6-ton commercial
heat pump water heater systems in a
restaurant, a coin-operated laundry, and an
office building cafeteria in Atlanta. The
units provide space cooling ...
