The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration in an Outdoor Test Cell
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The energy consumption calculation of house envelopes assumes that conduction heat loss is independent on air infiltration heat loss, and that energy consumption is the sum of these losses. Anderlind [1985], Liu [1987], ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Characterizing Loanstar Buildings & Energy Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents an overview of the buildings participating in the Texas LoanSTAR program. In this paper, we categorized the buildings in terms of their number, size, percent area effected, types of buildings, types of ...
Flywheel Cooling: A Cooling Solution for Non Air-Conditioned Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
"Flywheel Cooling" utillzes the natural cooling processes of evaporation, ventilation and air circulation. These systems are providing low-cost cooling for distribution centers, warehouses, and other non air-conditioned ...
Reduced Energy and Maintenance Costs Using Polyurethane as a Replacement Roof System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Reduction in maintenance and allied costs was the number one priority when Texas A&M University first considered polyurethane foam as a replacement roof for existing buildings. An investigation revealed
that when properly ...
ACT2 Project: Measuring Energy Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Pacific Gas and Electric Company has initiated a major demonstration project to test the hypothesis that substantial energy efficiency improvements can be achieved in customer facilities at costs competitive with supply. ...
The Revised Austin Energy Code and Comparisons with the Texas State Energy Standard
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
For the past two years the City of Austin Energy Code has been under review using the State Energy Standard and ASHRAE 90.2P as models for the revised Austin Energy Code. The major changes to these documents are presented ...
Atmospheric Condensation Potential of Windows in Hot, Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot, humid climates, the internal surfaces of windows in air-conditioned buildings are in contact with relatively colder air. Meanwhile, the external surfaces are exposed to hot humid atmospheric air. This hygro-thermal ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Improving the Performance of Retrofits by Providing Operator Feedback from Measured Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper describes how continuous monitoring and follow-up has improved the savings from energy conservation retrofits in the LoanSTAR program. It describes the importance of the feedback from the facility engineer or ...
A Collaborative Support System for the Review of Building Energy Data in the LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Project
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Project (MAP) collects a large volume of data pertaining to the analysis of building energy usage. Experts within the project review these data for accuracy. This review is collaborative, ...
Statistical Modeling of Daily Energy Consumption in Commercial Buildings Using Multiple Regression and Principal Component Analysis
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Statistical models of energy use in commercial buildings are being increasingly used not only for predicting retrofit savings but also for identifying improper operation of HVAC systems. The conventional approach involves ...
