This paper presents an exergetic approach to reducing energy consumption in industrial plants. The minimum pinchpoint temperature difference is determined for several cases of heat exchange between hot and cold fluid streams with reduced thermal losses. The proposed method, designated TEXAS (Thermal and economic EXergetic Analysis of Systems), derives families of characteristic curves showing economic parameters versus exergetic efficiency in relation to factors such as heat transfer, surface, and scaling. As the method is highly affected by the economic parameter assumptions, the sensitivity of the variations in the parameters is also analyzed.

Reduction of energy consumption in the affordable housing sector is highly impacted by human behavior. However, only limited behavior change research exists that is aimed at reducing energy consumption in this sector. This study seeks to implement the first two phases of the community-based social marketing (CBSM) framework in an affordable housing setting. The goals of the research are to identify the optimal behaviors for energy reduction and to identify the perceived barriers and benefits associated with those behaviors in a low-income housing facility. The results of this study identify five target behaviors along with their barriers and benefits. In addition, the study identifies potential issues and nuances in the CBSM process that researchers should take into consideration during future implementations of CBSM in affordable housing environments.
