Wei, G.; Deng, S.; Claridge, D. E.; Turner, W. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 2000)At the request of Terrell State Hospital and MHMR, the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University investigated the failure of the PVC pipes serving the chilled water loop at Terrell State Hospital. There were two ...

Lessons and Measures Learned from Continuous Commissioning(SM) of Central Chilled/Hot Water Systems Deng, S.; Turner, W. D.; Claridge, D. E.; Bruner, H.; Chen, H.; Wei, G. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)As it has been proved repeatedly that commissioning is very necessary for new construction and renovation/retrofit projects, we found continuous commissioningSM (CC) is an effective and efficient way to manage and optimize ...

Giebler, T.; Wei, G.; Deng, S.; Claridge, D. E.; Turner, W. D.; Liu, M. (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 ...

Wei, G.; Claridge, D. E.; Liu, M. (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 ...

Wei, G.; Campbell, C.; Claridge, D. E.; Turner, W. D. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 1999)The energy costs for TAMU-Commerce are very high when compared to most of the other universities in the TAMUs. For example, the price of $1.6 per square foot per year for utilities is nearly twice that of the Kingsville ...

Wei, G.; Eggebrecht, J.; Saman, N. F.; Claridge, D. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University; Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1995)Detailed calculations for each site are shown in this Volume. For each site the ECRM description, approved loan amount, expected savings, the pre and post-retrofit energy use (electricity and gas separately), cost of energy, ...

Wei, G.; Liu, M.; Claridge, D. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)An analysis is performed to investigate the signatures of different parameters on the heating and cooling energy consumption of typical air handling units (AHUs). The results are presented in graphic format. HVAC simulation ...
