Effects of Radiant Barrier Systems on Ventilated Attics in a Hot and Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Results of side-by-side radiant barrier experiments using two identical 144 ft2 (nominal) test houses are presented. The test houses responded very similarly to weather variations prior to the retrofit. The temperatures ...
Effect of Radiant Barrier Technology on Summer Attic Heat Load in South Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
The objective of the study was to experimentally
evaluate the performance of radiant barriers in
single-family occupied housing units in South
Texas. Ceiling heat fluxes, attic air temperatures,
indoor air temperatures, ...
Program Overview: The Texas LoanSTAR Program; 1989-August 1997
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Texas LoanSTAR mans to Save Taxes
and Resources) program was conceived as a $98.6
million capital retrofit program for building energy
efficiency. The funding source is petroleum violation
escrow funds (PVE) from the ...
Development of Baseline Monthly Utility Models for Fort Hood, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Fort Hood Army base in central
Texas has more than 5,200 buildings and can be
considered as typical of large Department of
Defense Army bases in the continental United
States. The annual utility bill of the base ...
Economic Evaluation of Insulation/Radiant Barrier Systems for the State of Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
This paper presents simulated performance of
insulation/radiant barrier systems under different
Texas climates. A transient heat and mass transfer
model which predicts thermal performance of
residential attics (Medina, ...
Environmental Impact of the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents an analysis of the
environmental impact of the energy reductions that
have been measured in the Texas LoanSTAR
program. There are a number of factors that
influence emission factors. The three major ...
Reducing Pump Power Consumption by 40% (1000 KW) Through Improved Pump Management in a Central Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Chilled water system data collection and field
measurements performed at the Central Utility Plant
of Texas A&M University revealed that 30 - 50 % of
the primary pump head is consumed by manual and
automatic valves being ...
Overview of the Rebuild America Program in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The Rebuild America program is a multi-year
program, through the U.S. Department of Energy
(USDOE), that will increase investment in energy
efficiency. As the program progresses, it will save
energy, create jobs, and improve ...
Metering and Calibration in LoanSTAR Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
End-use metering in commercial buildings often
requires installation of a large variety of transducers and data
loggers. The metering installation group in the LoanSTAR
monitoring program has the primary responsibility for ...
