Optimization Control Strategies for HVAC Terminal Boxes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The HVAC terminal boxes are one of the
major building HVAC components. They
directly impact the building room comfort
conditions and the energy costs. How to operate
the box in a highly energy efficient way and
maintain ...
A Simple and Quick Chilled Water Loop Balancing for Variable Flow System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
For many modem buildings, the chilled water
loops and risers are equipped with variable speed
pumping systems. How to quickly balance the
loop or riser to satisfy the cooling requirement
and reduce energy consumption is a ...
Program Overview: The Texas LoanSTAR Program; 1989-October 1999, A 10-Year Experience
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The Texas LoanSTAR (Loans to Save Taxes
and Resources) program was conceived as a $98.6
million capital retrofit program for building energy
efficiency. The funding source is petroleum
violation escrow funds (PVE) from the ...
Short Term Energy Monitoring: What Does This Information Mean to the Facility Energy Manager?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Engineers at the Energy Systems Laboratory at
Texas A&M University have completed short term
energy metering studies at a complex of offices in
northern Texas and several buildings on the Texas
A&M University campus ...
Clean-up of Contaminated Indoor Air Using Photocatalytic Technology
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A number of Sick Building Syndrome
studies have concluded that microorganisms,
endotoxins and VOCs in indoor air are involved in
the development and/or aggravation of allergies and
illnesses in buildings. The phototcatalytic ...
Enhanced Software for Displaying Orthographic, Stereographic, Gnomic and Cylindrical Projections of the Sunpath Diagram and Shading Mask Protractor
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The well-known versions of the sun-path diagrams
and shading mask protractors that appear in the AIA's
Architectural Graphics Standards (Ramsey and Sleeper
1994) are based on the equidistant projections and use a
shading ...
Best Practice For the Location of Air and Thermal Boundaries in Small Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Suspended t-bar ceilings are common in
commercial buildings. Research has found that these
ceilings are very leaky, and several problems arise
from this. If the space above the ceiling is vented to
outdoors, the entire ...
A New Ventilation System Integrates Total Energy Recovery, Conventional Cooling and a Novel 'Passive' Dehumidification Wheel to Mitigate the Energy, Humidity Control and First Cost Concerns Often Raised when Designing for ASHRAE Standard 62-1999 Compliance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
This paper introduces a novel, ''passive" desiccant based outdoor air preconditioning system (PDH) that is shown to be significantly more energy-efficient than all known alternatives, and has the unique ability to dehumidify ...
Importance of Design Conditions for Sizing Air-Conditioning Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Design conditions based on the meteorological data collected at two weather stations located less than 10 km away from each other within Kuwait City are presented for dry-bulb temperature (DBT) and web-bulb temperature ...
