Lessons Learned From the Continuous Commissioning of a Multi-Functional Commercial Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A multi-functional institutional building often
has ventilation and comfort requirements that vary
widely from zone to zone. When we commissioned
the Reed McDonald building on the main campus of
Texas A&M University (TAMU), ...
Simulation and Optimization on Power Plant Operation Using Sega's EOP Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The operation of a cogeneration power plant is
complicated. The Energy Optimization Program
(EOP, software made by SEGA, Inc.) was designed
to simulate and optimize the operation of TAMU
power plant. All major plant ...

Continuous Commissioning of a Central Chilled Water & Hot Water System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A central chilled water / hot water system
provides cooling / heating energy from central utility
plants to multiple customers (buildings) through
campus distribution loops. To effectively transport
the chilled water and ...
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energy is then withdrawn from the ...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 ...
