Non-Intrusive Electric Load Monitoring in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Increased interest in optimal control, energy scorekeeping and
fault detection for HVAC equipment in commercial buildings has
focused attention on instrumentation required to obtain the
desired data. In this paper we ...
Survey of Energy Use in Grocery Stores
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents the results of an energy use survey assembled for 93 grocery stores in south Texas. All stores were of the same chain. Several conclusions were drawn. Total electricity consumption per square foot is ...
The Impact of Residential Air Conditioner Charging and Sizing on Peak Electrical Demand
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Electric utilities have had a number of air conditioner rebate
and maintenance programs for many years. The purpose of
these programs was to improve the efficiency of the stock of
air conditioning equipment and provide ...
LoanSTAR Energy Auditing: Update and Changes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Annual savings identified by detailed LoanSTAR audits during the period January, 1989 -December, 1991 are $13.7 million with an investment cost of $46.1 million. These savings represent retrofit projects in state-owned ...
A Thermal Sensation Index for Real-Time Tuning and Energy-Optimal Control of HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In this paper we discuss and develop a thermal comfort index that addresses the limitations of applying thermal comfort indices to control applications. The derivation closely follows the derivation of PMV, but certain ...
Data Management in the LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper discusses the complexity of managing building energy usage data for many buildings. The history and methodology of data collection at the Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Program, a large multimillion ...
Solar Water Heating: What's Hot and What's Not
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
A handful of electric utilities in the United States now pay incentives to their customers to install solar water heaters or are developing programs to do so. The solar water heater incentives are part of a broader utility ...
A Methodology for Identifying Retrofit Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Measured energy savings resulting from energy conservation retrofits in commercial buildings can be used to verify the success of the retrofits, determine the payment schedule for the retrofits, and guide the selection of ...
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 ...
Calibration of Relative Humidity Transducers for use in the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In support of the Texas LoanSTAR Energy Conservation Program, the Texas A&M University Monitoring and Analysis Program (MAP) calibration facility has been performing relative humidity calibrations for transducers being ...
