The Cost-Effectiveness of Continuous Commissioning® Over the Past Ten Years
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Continuous Commissioning® data including savings, costs, and implemented measures from over 60 buildings and sites commissioned by staff from the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University are presented. Measured ...
Improved Air Volume Control Logic for VAV Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
In a VAV (variable air volume) system, the set
point of the static pressure (usually measured at 213
downstream of the main supply air duct) is
maintained by modulating the fan speed or inlet
guide vane position. The set ...
Investigation of PVC Pipe Failure at Terrell State Hospital – Final Report
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 2000)
At the request of Terrell State Hospital and MHMR, the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University investigated the failure of the PVC pipes serving the chilled water loop at Terrell State Hospital. There were two ...
Continuous Commissioning® Opportunities in Hospital and Laboratory Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
This paper compiles the Continuous Commissioning® (CC®) costs, savings, and opportunities implemented in 20 hospital and laboratory commissioning projects involving 48 buildings. The potential savings and costs from 25 CC ...
Improving Control of a Dual-Duct Single-Fan Variable Air Volume Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
This paper discusses improved control strategies
for dual-duct single-fan variable air volume (VAV)
systems. Common control strategy for supply air
volume modulation is evaluated, and an improved air
volume control strategy ...
A Method for Simulating Heat Recovery Systems Using AirModel in Implementations of the ASHRAE Simplified Energy Analysis Procedure
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
Airside Economizer- Comparing Different Control Strategies and Common Misconceptions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Air-side economizer is broadly adopted in building HVAC design and operations. When the system is properly designed and the control sequence is properly implemented, air-side economizer provides significant energy savings. ...
Optimize the Supply Air Temperature Reset Schedule for a Single-Duct VAV System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The supply air temperature for a single-duct
variable air volume (VAV) system is usually set as a
constant. To minimize the simultaneous cooling and
heating, this supply temperature is often reset based
on either return ...
Development of a Procedure for the Predictive Control Strategy of a Chilled Water Storage System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Thermal energy storage systems store the
thermal energy produced by the chiller plant in
periods of off-peak electrical demand or when
cheaper electricity is available. The stored thermal
energy is then withdrawn from the ...
Optimization Measures for Sporting and Special Event Facilities: Design and Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Reducing unnecessary building energy costs
is becoming more of a priority. Rising fuel
prices and a global emphasis on energy
efficiency are key contributing factors. This
push towards energy efficiency certainly applies
to ...
