A Comparison of EnergyPlus to DOE-2.1E: Multiple Cases Ranging from a Sealed Box to a Residential Building
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
EnergyPlus vs DOE-2: The Effect of Ground Coupling on Heating and Cooling Energy Consumption of a Slab-On-Grade Code House in a Cold Climate
(IBPSA-USA (http://www.ibpsa.us), 2010-08)For low-rise buildings, the heat loss through the ground coupled floor is a significant load component. Studies showed that the current simulation tools give dissimilar results for the ground coupled heat transfer (GCHT) ... -
Modeling and Control of Passive Chilled Beams with Underfloor Air Distribution of Ventilation in Office Buildings in Humid Climates
(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
(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, ...
