Green Building Performance Evaluation in the United States: Measured Results from LEED- New Construction Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program (LEED) delivering actual energy savings? This study addresses that question with a post-occupancy assessment of 121 LEED buildings across the United State. Input ...
Products and Process Modeling in Cx: A Significant Challenge for Digital-Cx
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
In the next decade, digitalization of commissioning (Cx) is likely to be a key advance, in the field of AEC. This requires that as much of what we do manually, through word processing and spreadsheets can be done through ...
Ultra-Thin, Energy Efficient Facades- A Contradiction in Terms?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Within the European Union about 40 percent of the energy is consumed in buildings. In Germany roughly a quarter of the primary energy demand is used for the heating of buildings. A detailed analysis reveals that more than ...
Development of an Information Flow Mechanism for Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The present paper proposes a new information flow mechanism for commissioning and develops tools to make the proposed information flow mechanism feasible. Although many technical tools have been developed in order to reduce ...

Energy-Optimised Building- Experience and Future Perspectives from a Demonstration Programme in Germany
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
In 1995, the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology launched an intensive research and demonstration programme on energy-optimised construction of new buildings as well as retrofitting the building stock. ...
An Innovative Approach Towards National Peak Load Management
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
An innovative approach was developed and implemented in eight governmental buildings to reduce their load during the peak demand hours in summer of 2007. The innovative approach implemented in these buildings included ...
Case Study and Energy Performance Optimization for Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Dell Children’s Medical Center of Central Texas (DCMCCT) is the first hospital in the world to achieve LEED Platinum certification. A major contributor to this certification is an on-site 4.3 Megawatt combined heating, ...
A Study on the Effects of Unwanted Air Infiltration on Thermal Comfort at an Airport Terminal
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
The Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University is currently studying ways to make improvements in thermal comfort at the Terminal E building at DFW airport. Airport terminal building HVAC systems are generally known ...
Energy Savings and Comfort Improvements through Plant- and Operating mode Optimisation Demonstrated by Means of Project Examples
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
More than 40 percent of Europe's primary energy is required for conditioning of buildings. By improving energy efficiency, approximately 30 percent of this energy could be saved. Energy counts for 35 percent of the operating ...
