An Analysis of Grocery Store Energy Use
(Texas A&M University, 1993-12)
Approximately 3% of the United States' commercial building energy consumption is attributable to food sales facilities. Although this is one of the smallest consumption percentages, it is still significant, amounting to ...
A Methodology for In-Situ Calibration of Steam Boiler Instrumentation
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This thesis presents a broadly useful diagnostic methodology to engineers and plant managers for finding the in-situ operating characteristics of power plant boilers when metered data is either missing or obviously erroneous. ...
Development of Empirical Temperature and Humidity-Based Degraded-Condition Indicators for Low-Tonnage Air Conditioners
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A split-system direct-expansion air conditioner was used to empirically determine temperature and return-air humidity indicators that could detect performance degradation resulting from degraded conditions. The air conditioner ...
Chemical accident databases: what they tell us and how they can be improved to establish national safety goals
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The objectives of this research are to examine and critique eight chemical accident databases, document any trends in accident occurrences, develop a strategy for improving current databases, and to establish national ...
Study of Cubic Splines and Fourier Series as Interpolation Techniques for Filling in Short Periods of Missing Building Energy Use and Weather Data
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
To define a single technique that can be reliably used for evaluation of missing data in time series of weather and building energy use data is a complex task. This thesis evaluates the application of spline and Fourier ...

An Improved Procedure for Developing a Calibrated Hourly Simulation Model of an Electrically Heated and Cooled Commercial Buildling
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 1994-12)
With the increased use of building energy simulation programs, calibration of
simulated data to measured data has been recognized as an important factor in
substantiating how well the model fits a real building. Model ...
