Continuous Commissioning Results Verification and Follow-up For an Institutional Building: A Case Study
Abstract
The Kleberg Building on the Texas A&M
University campus is a teaching/research facility
consisting of classrooms, offices and laboratories,
with a total floor area of approximately 165,030 ft2.
Continuous Commissioning (CC) was performed
on the building in August 1996 with additional
follow-up in April 1999 and significant savings were
achieved. Subsequently, the building chilled water
and hot water energy consumption increased due to
later building operational changes. This paper
presents the verification and follow-up efforts, which
identified control problems in air handling units and
laboratory variable air volume (VAV) systems and
provided recommendations currently being
implemented to restore HVAC optimization.
