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 ...
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), ...
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 ...
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 ...
Improved Air Volume Control Logic for VAV Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
In a VAV (variable air volume) system, the set
point of the static pressure (usually measured at 213
downstream of the main supply air duct) is
maintained by modulating the fan speed or inlet
guide vane position. The set ...
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 ...
Optimize the Supply Air Temperature Reset Schedule for a Single-Duct VAV System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The supply air temperature for a single-duct
variable air volume (VAV) system is usually set as a
constant. To minimize the simultaneous cooling and
heating, this supply temperature is often reset based
on either return ...
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 ...
