Americans generated approximately 254 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) in 2007, enough to fill a modern day baseball stadium more than 2 times! Of this, 117 million tons was recovered for beneficial reuse in recycling, composting or energy recovery. Of the remaining 137 million tons...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 6, Paper 11

Given the volatile economic climate, organizations are increasingly adopting process improvements to gain competitive advantages. Finding ways to save money and enhance operations are more important than ever. In the United States industrial sector, electric motor systems consume over 679 billion...2009 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 6, Paper 12

Industrial facilities send thousands of motors to motor service centers to be rewound every year with little knowledge of the motor's true condition after rewinding. As long as the motor operates as required and does not fail prematurely, the quality of the motor core and rewind may never be...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 1

The demonstration project on energy networks of electricity, heat, and hydrogen in an existing apartment building has been initiated to evaluate authors' proposal. The authors proposed the setting up of an energy system by fuel cells and energy networks of electricity, hot water, and hydrogen...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 2

As part of Building America work, research has been conducted on how the European Passive House residential energy efficiency standard could translate to six locations in three U.S. climate zones. For each super energy efficient house design a TRNSYS model was developed providing detailed system...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 3

A number of Demand Response (DR) technologies work by responding to variable electricity pricing, but have not yet been applied to control residential HVAC systems. An autonomous thermostat system, the Demand Response Electrical Appliance Manager (DREAM), provides possibilities to improve price-...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 4

As the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) dealt with record afternoon electricity demand during the August 2007 heat wave, a near zero energy home in Lenoir City, TN was actually selling power back into the system. Utilities pay premium prices during peak demand periods to supply power to businesses...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 5

This paper presents the results of three field studies of residential air conditioners in Hot Dry Climates. These air conditioners were production units. The combinations of single speed outdoor condensing units, indoor coils, and furnaces were selected to meet specific performance criteria at hot...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 6

Contemporary air-source heat pumps have great potential to reduce space-conditioning loads, especially when installed in houses built with low thermal loads. These heat pumps are sensitive to installation quality, and problems may not always be identified quickly and repaired. Electric utilities in...2008 ACEEE Summer Study Proceedings PaperPanel 1, Paper 7
