A Thermal RC Model Including Thermal Mass and Solar Gain Effects for Building Energy Simulation

Mackenzie, Andrew William (2019-10-30)

Building Commissioning is important for evaluating energy and dollar savings in existing buildings. Energy Systems Lab of Texas A&M University has developed WinAM with the purpose of aiding that process. WinAM is a ...
A Comparison of EnergyPlus to DOE-2.1E: Multiple Cases Ranging from a Sealed Box to a Residential Building

Andolsun, S.; Culp, C. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)

EnergyPlus (EPlus) is becoming widely used for building simulation. Previous studies have compared the performance of EPlus with other simulation programs including DOE-2 for a variety of cases. These studies identified ...
Compilation of Diversity Factors and Schedules for Energy and Cooling Load Calculations, ASHRAE Research Project 1093-RP, Final Report

Abushakra, B.; Sreshthaputra, A.; Haberl, J. S.; Claridge, D. E. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M University, 2001)

This is the final report for the ASHRAE 1093-RP project. This report presents the method used to derive the diversity factors and typical load shapes of lighting and receptacle loads in office buildings. In this report the ...
Daylighting Performance of Toplighting Systems in the Hot and Humid Climate of Thailand

Harntaweegonsa, Siritip; Beltran, Liliana (2017-06-17)

This paper presents the findings of a study that evaluated the daylight performance of three toplighting systems: skylights, lightscoops, and roof monitors for office buildings in Thailand. These toplighting systems were ...
Development of a Laboratory Verified Single-Duct VAV System Model with Fan Powered Terminal Units Optimized Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Davis, Michael A. (2011-10-21)

Single Duct Variable Air Volume (SDVAV) systems use series and parallel Fan Powered Terminal Units to control the air flow in conditioned spaces. This research developed a laboratory verified model of SDVAV systems that ...
Modeling and Control of Passive Chilled Beams with Underfloor Air Distribution of Ventilation in Office Buildings in Humid Climates

Negandhi, Vanita K (2015-08-10)

This dissertation presents the results of a study to determine the operational control, energy performance and comfort conditions associated with passive chilled beams for office buildings in a humid climate and to develop ...
Simulated Energy Savings Comparison Between Two Continuous Commissioning® Methods Applied to a Retrofitted Office Building

Texas A&M Campus Building CC® Team (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)

Continuous Commissioning® (CC®) was performed on a 24,446 square foot institutional building used primarily to house offices and conference rooms. The building was constructed in 1950, and then had a complete Heating, ...
