Pitfalls in Building and HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1985-05)
The purpose of an energy audit is to identify
and analyze areas of energy consumption and to propose
methods of conservation. In the process of
completing an audit the following areas of consumption
should be considered:
• ...
Heat Integrate Heat Engines in Process Plants
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
This paper presents a novel method for the
integration of heat engines into total processes to
effect large energy savings. Paybacks are often
short. The method is applicable to new designs and
retrofits and is ...
Electric Utility Demand-Side Evaluation Methodologies
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The electric utility industry's demand-side
management programs can be analyzed from various
points of view using a standard benefit-cost
methodology. The methodology now in use by
several electric utilities and the ...

Overview and Burning Technology Opportunities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
In the late seventies, Canada put in place
several programs designed to support the
development and implementation of new ideas as
well as the improvement of old technologies to
utilize renewables as a source of ...
Solar Roof Cooling by Evaporation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
Evaporation is nature's way of cooling. By spraying a light film of water in the form of a mist for thirty seconds, then turning the sprays off for five minutes while evaporation takes place, the roof temperature can be ...
Energy Productivity Via Time-of-Day Rates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1984)
Prompted by a combination of PURPA and a national concern about electricity price and supply, many utilities now have in place industrial time-of-day electric rates. When properly designed, these rates present an opportunity ...
Energy Savings by Wideband Temperature Control in Telephone Offices
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
In 1982, 6.9 million BOE of energy costing nearly $600 million was used in approximately 16,000 Bell System Telephone equipment buildings. About 27% of that energy was used for heating, ventilating and air conditioning. ...
The Gas Utility View of Industrial Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)
The gas industry fostered more efficient energy utilization long before the idea of energy conservation became fashionable. It became apparent in the late '60's that misguided Federal Legislation was discouraging necessary ...
Steelcase Closed Loop Energy Recovery System - What We Have Learned With Our Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1983)
Energy cost increases, future shortages, and environmental concerns are making it less attractive to landfill our fuel concentrated wastes. Our 2,000 #/hr modular waste burning incinerator has operated since July, 1980. ...
