Park Load Reduction by Preconditioning of Buildings at Night
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Cooling loads during the peak period can be
reduced if a building is subcooled a few degrees
below its normal thermostat setpoint during the
preceding night. During the day, the thermostat
must control the warmup in such ...
Residential Thermal Mass Construction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The southwest has long known the
value of building homes with high mass
materials. The ancient Pueblo Indians
found that by using "adobe" they could
capture the energy necessary to
survive the harsh desert climate. ...
Cool Storage Economic Feasibility Analysis for a Large Industrial Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The analysis of economic feasibility for adding a cool
storage facility to shift electric demand to off-peak hours for a
large industrial facility is presented. DOE-2 is used to generate
the necessary cooling load profiles ...
The Institutional Conservation Program: A Funding Option for Energy Retrofits
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
The Institutional Conservation Program (ICP)
provides matching grants to K-12 schools,
colleges/universities, and hospitals for
energy-related retrofit studies and the
implementation of capital projects identified,
analyzed, ...
A Proposed Method for Improving Residential Heating Energy Estimates Based on Billing Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
Analyses o f residential energy conservation
programs frequently require reliable estimates of
program effects on space-heating energy
consumption. Simulation models are often used to
provide such estimates. Recent, ...
A Preliminary Evaluation of Alternative Liquid Desiccants for a Hybrid Desiccant Air Conditioner
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
This paper presents the results of a
preliminary investigation at The University of
Texas at Austin of alternative liquid desiccants
for use in a hybrid desiccant air-conditioning
system in which a desiccant is circulated ...
Radiant Barrier Insulation Performance in Full Scale Attics with Soffit and Ridge Venting
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
There is a limited data base on the full scale
performance of radiant barrier insulation in
attics. The performance of RBS have been shown to
be dependent on attic ventilation characteristics.
Tests have been conducted on ...
Performance Auditing of Energy Management Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
With the oil crisis of the 1970's,
energy management programs became important
to both the private and public sectors. But
with the decrease of oil prices in the mid
1980's, interest in energy conservation
programs has ...
Performance Testing of Radiant Barriers (RB) with R11, R19, and R30 Cellulose and Rock Wool Insulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
TVA has previously conducted testing to determine the effects of attic RBs when used with R19 fiberglass insulation during summer and winter conditions. This previous testing, and the testing described in this paper, used ...
Active Humidity Control Through Gas-Fired Desiccant Humidity Pump
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1988)
High equipment first cost and high operating costs,
if electricity is used to drive such a system, have prohibited
the application of active humidity control equipment
in comfort conditioning in the past. Instead, ...
