Achieving Sustainability, Energy Savings, and Occupant Comfort
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Sustainability, energy savings, and occupant comfort are not mutually exclusive objectives, as buildings can be designed that incorporate all of these features. Sustainability is often defined as meeting the needs of the ...
Master Plan and Energy Audits at a Large Texas Medical Campus
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Energy Engineering Associates, Inc. was engaged by the Facilities Resource Management Department at a large medical center in Houston, TX to assist with the development of an Energy Management Master Plan and subsequent ...
Case Studies in Using Whole Building Interval Data to Determine Annualized Electrical Savings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Whole building interval analysis to determine savings from energy reduction measures is addressed in several guidelines. The whole building method has typically focused on measured savings where baseline regression models ...
Integration of Continuous Commissioning as a Measure in LoanSTAR and Energy Services Contracts
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2009-11)
Continuous Commissioning (CC) is a process that resolves operating problems, optimizes the HVAC system operation and controls to reduce building energy consumption and improve comfort based on current building conditions ...
