    • Coordinated Control of HVAC Systems 
      Federspiel, C.; Lanning, S. D.; Li, H.; Auslander, D. M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
      This paper describes the development of new control logic for starting and stopping energy-intensive equipment in buildings such as staged air-conditioning units. The concept is to use pulse-width modulation (PWM) instead ...
    • Information Technology for Energy and Maintenance Management 
      Villafana, L.; Federspiel, C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
      We describe the design of a tenant interface for energy and maintenance systems (TIEMS) in commercial buildings. TIEMS is designed for use by occupants (tenants) of commercial buildings. Our hypothesis is that by allowing ...
    • Multi-Sensor Single-Actuator Control of HVAC Systems 
      Lin, C.; Auslander, D.; Federspiel, C.; (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2002)
      It is common to control several rooms in a building with a single sensor in one of the rooms and a single actuator driving just one control element such as an air damper. New, low-cost, wireless sensor technology now offers ...
    • Opportunities to Save Energy and Improve Comfort by Using Wireless Sensor Networks in Buildings 
      Wang, D.; Arens, E.; Federspiel, C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
      This paper discusses how intensive information technology can affect future building operation. Recent breakthroughs in wireless sensor network technology will permit 1) highly flexible location of sensors, 2) increased ...
