The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration Under Dynamic Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Energy consumption due to air infiltration is customarily assumed to equal the mass flow rate times the specific enthalpy difference between the inside and outside air. Anderlind showed theoretically that this represents ...
Disaggregating Cooling Energy Use of Commercial Buildings Into Sensible and Latent Fractions From Whole-Building Monitored Data: Methodology and Advantages
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot and humid climates, where summers are both warm and humid, the latent cooling can be a significant portion of the total cooling load (as much as 40%). Typically the monitored data only includes whole-building heating ...
Survey of Energy Use in Grocery Stores
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents the results of an energy use survey assembled for 93 grocery stores in south Texas. All stores were of the same chain. Several conclusions were drawn. Total electricity consumption per square foot is ...
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 ...
Joint-Frequency Bins versus Conventional Bin Weather Data in Analysis of HVAC System Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Often in simplified energy analysis the use of bin weather data is employed for a more time efficient and better organized analysis than using the full 8760-hour annual weather data. It has been suggested that joint-frequency ...
The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration in an Outdoor Test Cell
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The energy consumption calculation of house envelopes assumes that conduction heat loss is independent on air infiltration heat loss, and that energy consumption is the sum of these losses. Anderlind [1985], Liu [1987], ...
Development of the Potential Energy Savings Estimation (PESE) Toolkit
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This study has developed a prototype computer tool called the Potential Energy Savings Estimation (PESE) Toolkit. Baltazar’s methodology for potential energy savings estimation from EBCx/retrofit measures has been improved ...
A Twelve Year, $10 Million Energy Initiative Marching On: the Texas A&M University Campus Energy Systems CC®
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The $58.5 million in measured savings for the twelve-year, $10 million continuous commissioning®
(CC®) program at the Texas A&M University (TAMU) makes the decision to continue easy. In today's energy environment and with ...
Analysis of Energy Recovery Ventilator Savings for Texas Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
This analysis was conducted to identify the energy cost savings from retrofitting Texas buildings with air-to-air ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) systems. This analysis applied ERV and psychrometric equations in a bin-type ...
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 ...
