A Model for Evaluation of Life-Cycle Energy Savings of Occupancy Sensors for Control of Lighting and Ventilation in Office Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Lighting and ventilation represent the majority of the air conditioning loads in office buildings in hot humid climates. Use of motion sensors is one way to minimize the energy used for these loads. This paper describes ...
A Sustainable Medical Center in Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The purpose of this presentation is to
demonstrate how one can successfully integrate
many sustainable features into the construction and
operation of a mid-sized medical clinic located in the
hot/humid piney woods of east ...
A Systems Integration Approach To Lighting Control Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Today, the lighting industry is experiencing renewed
development and implementation of advanced
technologies. One of the most striking advances is the
implementation of system solutions in lighting
control. This approach ...
Control Humidity With Single-Duct, Single-Zone, Constant Air Volume System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The lecture hall of the Richardson Petroleum
Building at Texas A&M University is a large lecture
hall, with a total floor area of approximately 2500 ft^2.
The lecture hall was served by a constant air volume
(CAV) air ...
Below Canopy Meteorological Measurements at Three Florida Sites with Varying Tree Cover and Development
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Residential demand for air conditioning is
strongly impacted by the surrounding ambient air
temperature. Research over several decades has documented
the progressive impact of urban heat islands
on summer temperatures in ...
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 ...
Procedures for Filling Short Gaps in Energy Use and Weather Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Filling short gaps (a few hours) in hourly
energy use and weather data can be useful for (i)
retrofit savings analysis and calculation, and for (ii)
diagnostic purposes. The paper evaluates four
methods for rehabilitating ...
Development of a High Efficiency Ceiling Fan
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The potential of ceiling fans to improve comfort
during the cooling season is well documented (Rohles
et al.. 1983; Fairey et al.. 1986). There are at least
two cases: In the first where air conditioning is unavailable,
adding ...
Critical Plane Analysis of Wall Assembly in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Condensation plane analysis for determining critical
planes at which condensation may occur can be
performed for building assemblies in any climate.
Procedures for doing so in heating climates where
buildings dry to the ...
