Innovative HVAC Cycles for Severe Part Load Conditions in the Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
This paper reports observations by the authors made in the course of performing field surveys and detailed analyses of approximately three
hundred U. S. Navy buildings located in a humid
climate. In the course of this ...
Direct-Expansion Air-Conditioning System Performance in Low Humidity Applications: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
This paper discusses the performance
of an HVAC system to maintain temperature
and humidity within a candy storage
warehouse. The HVAC system consists of a
typical direct-expansion cooling and
dehumidification coil and ...
Audit Costs for the 1986 Texas Energy Cost Containment Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Direct program costs for detailed audits of
13.5 million square feet of institutional building
space in the 1986 Texas Energy Cost Containment
Program were $0.047/SF. The building area was 63
percent simple (offices, ...
The Integration of Cogeneration and Space Cooling
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Cogeneration is the production of electrical
and thermal energy from a single fuel source. In
comparison, electric power generation rejects the
useful heat energy into lakes or other heat sinks.
Electric generation alone ...
Gas -Fueled Engine-Driven Air Conditioning Systems for Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
In 1985, the Gas Research Institute (GRI)
initiated a program with Tecogen, Inc., to develop
a nominal 150-ton gas-fueled engine-driven water
chiller for commercial buildings. The packaged
system has been designed, fabricated, ...
Energymaster Desiccant System Application to Light Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Desiccant cooling systems offer unique advantages
over conventional equipment in certain
applications. AskCorp's Energymaster unit has
been applied in several commercial situations
where these advantages are most ...
Energy Audits of Local Government Buildings (Louisiana DNR)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
This paper describes innovations instituted
in an ongoing energy auditing program for local
government buildings in Louisiana. In order to
provide as many audits as possible with the funds
available, a two-pronged effort ...
Application of Thermal Storage, Peak Shaving and Cogeneration for Hospitals
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Energy costs of hospitals can be managed by
employing various strategies to control peak
electrical demand (KW) while at the same time
providing additional security of operation in
the event that an equipment failure or ...
Management Skills and Attitudes of Principals Toward Energy Utilization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
The purpose of this study was to compare several
factors in the management skills of principals which
affected energy utilization and, therefore, increased
or decreased energy consumption in the school
plant. This study ...
An Overview of the Building Energy Retrofit Research Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
A relatively new program of the U.S. Department
of Energy has been established to focus on the technical,
financial, and behavioral barriers to improving
the energy efficiency of existing buildings
through retrofit. The ...
