Energy Conservation Opportunities in Commercial and Industrial Facilities: Energy Utilization Indices (EUI) in Texas LoanSTAR Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1993-08)
The work described in this report was performed under the direction of the Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC) at Texas A&M University. The EADC program is managed by University City Science Center under agreement ...
Effect of Backfill on the Performance of a Vertical U-Tube Ground Coupled Heat Pump
(Texas A&M University, 1995-08)
The present work is concerned with developing a discretized analytical model to investigate the effect of a backfill on the performance of a vertical U-tube ground-coupled heat pump. This work involves the development ...
The Research and Development of Damage Tolerant Carbon Fiber Composites
(Texas A&M University, 1999-12)
This record of study takes a firsthand look at corporate research and development efforts to improve the damage tolerance of two unique composite materials used in high performance aerospace applications. The professional ...
Performance of Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) in Selected Texas LoanSTAR Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1995-08)
This report describes an investigation of energy use at various LoanSTAR sites. The effects of installing Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) on electricity consumption was studied at four LoanSTAR sites: Stroman ...
A Real Time Self-Tuning Algorithm for PI Control of the Heating and Cooling Coils in Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1999-08)
Proportional and Integral (PI) controllers are used widely in HVAC applications. It is necessary to choose suitable values for PI gains for PI control of the heating and cooling coils in buildings. Consequently, suitable ...
