Variable Speed Drive (VSD) Applications in Dual-Duct Constant Volume Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Models have been developed for static pressure
and potential supply fan energy savings by using
variable speed drive (VSD) in dual-duct constant
volume systems. Experiments have been performed
using a full size dual-duct ...
Economizer Applications in Dual-Duct Air-Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
This paper provides analytical tools and engineering methods to evaluate the feasibility of the economizer for dual-duct air-handling units. The results show that the economizer decreases cooling energy consumption without ...
The Building America Industrialized Housing Partnership (BAIHP)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
The Building America Industrialized Housing
Partnership (BAIHP) is one of five competitively
selected U.S. DOE Building America teams and
began work on 9/1/99. BAIHP focuses on improving
the energy efficiency, durability ...
Three Case Studies: Moisture Control in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
This paper will present case studies of the
investigations of three different buildings
exhibiting moisture control problems along the
Gulf Coast. We will briefly discuss the original,
or existing, conditions that led to ...
Benefits of the International Residential Code's Maximum Solar heat Gain Coefficient Requirement for Windows
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Texas adopted in its residential building energy
code a maximum 0.40 solar heat gain coefficient
(SHGC) for fenestration (e.g., windows, glazed doors
and skylights)-a critical driver of cooling energy
use, comfort and peak ...
Avoiding Sick Buildings while Assuring Occupant Productivity and Building Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
In order to meet the increased expectations
of building occupants, designers must be
aware of the conflicts between first cost
economics, occupant productivity and life
cycle costs. Cost savings measures have
resulted in ...
An Introduction to Texas Senate Bill 5
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Four areas in Texas have been designated by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as
non-attainment areas because ozone levels
exceed the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) maximum allowable ...
Terminal Box Airflow Reset: An Effective Operation and Control Strategy for Comfort Improvement and Energy Conservation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
A new terminal box operation and control
strategy, airflow reset, is developed to improve
building comfort and energy efficiency during
unoccupied and lightly occupied hours. The airflow
reset lowers the minimum airflow ...
The Office Air Handling Unit versus the Two Dedicated Air Handling Unit System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
Both analytical and the numerical methods have
been developed to compares the energy performance
of the OAHU systems and the two-AHU (TAHU)
system. The OAHU system saves up to 1.85
kilojoules heating energy for each kilogram ...
Optimal Airflow Control for Laboratory Air Handling Unit (LAHU) Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
An optimal airflow control method and procedure have been developed for laboratory air handing unit (LAHU) systems using linear optimization theories. The optimal airflow control minimizes the thermal energy consumption ...
