Air Conditioner User Behavior in a Master-Metered Apartment Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Air conditioner operation was studied in order
to understand how energy consumption and peak power
are determined by user behavior, equipment operation
and building characteristics. In a multi-family
building, thirteen ...
Energy Cost Reduction Measures Identified for Texas State Agencies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
According t o energy auditors, state-owned
facilities in Texas on the average consume over
twice the energy of comparable facilities in the
private sector. In 1984 and 1986 as part of the
Texas Energy Cost Containment ...
Guidelines for Retrofit Performance Monitoring
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
A data specification guideline developed for use in the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) Single-Family Building Energy
Retrofit Research Program is applicable to field monitoring
studies of cooling retrofits. The guideline ...
Preliminary Study of a Vented Attic Radiant Barrier System in Hot, Humid Climates Using Side-by-Side, Full-Scale Test Houses
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
A series of side-by-side tests was performed using
two full scale test houses to determine the
effectiveness of a Vented Radiant Barrier System
(VRBS) in reducing the ceiling heat flux during the
summer cooling season in ...
The Application and Energy Savings Potential of Occupancy Counters/Transmitters in Office Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
In conventional office building
design, fresh air requirements are
estimated for full occupancy in the
building. Typically, fresh air requirements
range from 5 to 15 cubic feet per minute
per person expected to occupy the ...
The Spacing of Ceiling Fans for Human Comfort in Warm Temperature Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
Airspeed tests of a commercially popular 52
in. ceiling fan operating at a low speed of 155 fpm
provided sufficient airspeed for comfort to 82F in
an average floor area of 97.2 ft^2 beneath the fan.
When operating at maximum ...
Commercial Building HVAC Energy Usage in Semi-Tropical Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
The design of heating and cooling equipment in
semi-tropical climates presents some design considerations
and limitations not so prevalent in temperate
climates. In some cases, the heating season may
be non-existent for ...
Natural Daylighting - An Energy Analysis
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
To promote energy conscious design, a study was undertaken to analyze the implications of using daylighting in the design of a structure. An existing office building was selected for this study. Its specific construction ...
Energy Assessment Process for Generic Multistory Atrium Types
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
In addition to the environment that atriums provide,
the daylight admitted into such spaces can be utilized
to displace part of the electric lighting load
during the daylight periods. While within the
atrium itself only ...
A Texas Study of the Effects of the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1987)
At the present time, no legislated efficiency standards
exist in Texas for residential appliances. However, the National
Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA) of 1987 passed by
the U.S. Senate in February, 1987, sets ...
