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 ...
The Brazos Valley Energy Conservation Coalition, Part of the Rebuild America Program in Texas: Program Update
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The Rebuild America program is network of
community-based partnerships that rebuilds
communities by promoting the efficient use of
energy. Rebuild America is coordinated at the
national level by sponsorship through the ...
Commissioning of A Large Office Building in Texas - A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
This case study involves commissioning of a
large office building in the hot and humid climate of
south Texas. The commissioning involved the
installation of a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) on
a chilled water pump, improved ...
Integrated Commissioning for a Large Medical Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The energy costs of heating, ventilating and
air conditioning usually represents a large
portion of the utility bills for a medical facility.
One large, modem medical center located in the
hot and humid region of southern ...
Continuous Commissioning of a Central Chilled Water & Hot Water System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A central chilled water / hot water system
provides cooling / heating energy from central utility
plants to multiple customers (buildings) through
campus distribution loops. To effectively transport
the chilled water and ...
Development of a Procedure for the Predictive Control Strategy of a Chilled Water Storage System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Thermal energy storage systems store the
thermal energy produced by the chiller plant in
periods of off-peak electrical demand or when
cheaper electricity is available. The stored thermal
energy is then withdrawn from the ...
Optimization Measures for Sporting and Special Event Facilities: Design and Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
Reducing unnecessary building energy costs
is becoming more of a priority. Rising fuel
prices and a global emphasis on energy
efficiency are key contributing factors. This
push towards energy efficiency certainly applies
to ...
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 ...
