We stack Spitzer 24 micron images for ~7000 galaxies with 0.1<z<1 in the Chandra Deep Field South to probe the thermal dust emission in low-luminosity galaxies over this redshift range. Through stacking, we can detect mean 24 micron fluxes that are more than an order of magnitude below the individual detection limit. We find that the correlations for low and moderate luminosity galaxies between the average L_IR/L_UV and rest-frame B-band luminosity, and between the star formation rate (SFR) and L_IR/L_UV, are similar to those in the local Universe. This verifies that oft-used assumption in deep UV/optical surveys that the dust obscuration-SFR relation for galaxies with SFR < 20 solar mass per year varies little with epoch. We have used this relation to derive the cosmic IR luminosity density from z=1 to z=0.1. The results also demonstrate directly that little of the bolometric luminosity of the galaxy population arises from the faint end of the luminosity function, indicating a relatively flat faint-end slope of the IR luminosity function with a power law index of 1.2+-0.3.
