Energy Savings and Comfort Improvements through Plant- and Operating mode Optimisation Demonstrated by Means of Project Examples
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
More than 40 percent of Europe's primary energy is required for conditioning of buildings. By improving energy efficiency, approximately 30 percent of this energy could be saved. Energy counts for 35 percent of the operating ...
Connecting Stakeholders, Achieving Green
(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 ...
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 ...
Investigations on Vapour Compression Air Conditioner with Direct Contact Desiccant Loop over Condenser and Evaporator
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
Perceived air quality increases when relative humidity is decreased till about 30% in the range of comfort temperature. In the present scenario, humidity is considered as a pollutant. Hence, a controlled environment not ...
Innovative Method for Performance Inspections often save 20-30% through Optimization of Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
Air-conditioning, refrigeration and heat pump equipment is using 15 to 20% of the electrical energy globally. Many times these systems do not operate in an effective way. The paper present a method for and experience from ...
Monitoring and Optimization of Building Operations of a Low-Energy School Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The ambitious design and energy concept of the new Gebhard-Müller-Schule (GMS) school building in Biberach/Riss, Germany proved itself during the first three school years of operation. The intended target value of 30 ...
Continuous Commissioning® of the Austin City Hall
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
This paper presents a case study of a Continuous Commissioning (CC) project performed at the Austin City Hall. Various CC measures were implemented and significant energy savings were achieved. The paper illustrates a ...
Operation of Energy-Efficient Air-Conditioned Buildings: An Overview
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
To design an optimum HVAC airside system that provides comfort and air quality in the air-conditioned spaces with efficient energy consumption is a great challenge. This paper evaluates recent progresses of HVAC airside ...
