Item Energy Management and Control Systems and their Use for Performance Monitoring in the LoanSTAR Program, Technical Report prepared for the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California, Energy and Environment Division(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1993) Heinemeier, K. E.; Akbari, H.In the Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis program, pre- and post-retrofit energy consumption for each building is monitored using conventional field data acquisition systems. This report summarizes continuing investigations into the usefulness of existing Energy Management and Control Systems to perform this same data collection task.Item The Potential of Energy Management and Control Systems for Real-Time Electricity Pricing Programs(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1990) Akbari, H.; Heinemeier, K. E.; Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory; University of California, BerkeleyIn implementing an integrated electric utility network, direct communication between the utility and customers is an important component. The rapid penetration of computer building control technology in larger commercial and industrial customers provides an opportunity for the utility to implement this network by linking directly with equipment already in place: customer-owned energy management and control systems (EMCS). This paper assesses the potential use of EMCSs in utility real-time pricing (RTP) efforts by discussing the procedures and technical requirements for transferring prices to the EMCS. The perspectives and objectives of the customer and the utility will also be discussed. We will discuss how price information can be used by the customer and the EMCS to implement demand-limiting strategies, both in currently available demand-management algorithms, and in potential price-responsive cost-management algorithms.Item Use of Energy Management and Control Systems for Performance Monitoring of Retrofit Projects: Final Summary Report for USDOE Office of Conservation and Energy, Final Revision, March 1993(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1991) Claridge, D. E.; Haberl, J. S.; Sparks, R. J.; Bryant, J.; Poyner, B.; Belur, R.; Bryant, J.; Akbari, H.; Heinemeier, K. E.; Lippman, R.; McBride, J.Traditionally, Energy Management and Control Systems (EMCSs) have been used to control HVAC, lighting, fire and security systems in buildings. Few EMCSs are used for long term trending and analysis of energy use (i.e., the storage and display of contiguous hourly data over one year).
