(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 ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)Noise, vibration and acoustical design, construction, commissioning and operation practices influence building cost, efficiency, performance and effectiveness. Parameters for structural vibration, building systems noise, ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)An energy efficiency metric for residential homes was developed to provide home-owners, realtors and builders a method to rate the energy efficiency of an existing house. To accomplish this, a web-based calculator was ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)Air-side economizer is broadly adopted in building HVAC design and operations. When the system is properly designed and the control sequence is properly implemented, air-side economizer provides significant energy savings. ...

(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 ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)ASHRAE, CIBSE and USGBC are developing a standardized, consistent set of protocols to facilitate the comparison of the measured performance of buildings, especially those claimed to be green, sustainable, and/or high ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)The aim of this paper is to combine the approaches of engineering and sociology in the assessment of behavioural influences on the energy demand of residential buildings and to define a common language and strategy for ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)The potential to save energy by changing operational parameters - especially in existing commercial buildings – is in the magnitude of 5-30%. In order to realize this saving potential in the long term, continuous commissioning ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2011-10)Most often commissioning of existing buildings seeks to reduce a building’s energy consumption by implementation of operational changes via the existing equipment. In contrast, large scale capital retrofits seek to make ...

Chilled Water Thermal Storage System and Demand Response at the University of California at Merced (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)University of California at Merced is a unique campus that has benefited from intensive efforts to maximize energy efficiency, and has participated in a demand response program for the past two years. Campus demand response ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)In this paper, the environment and energy performance of an actual coupled earth tube and natural ventilation system in a gymnasium was measured during the acceptance phase in two operation states: no ventilation and natural ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)If Green is gold, why is progress so slow? The public understanding of Green is evolving. Standards are being developed, but there is still much work to be done. Achieving Green is difficult. Necessary conditions include: •A ...
