A Decision-Making Model for the Asian Intelligent Building Index
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
The paper presents a multi-criteria decision-making model to evaluate the sustainable performances of intelligent buildings based on the Asian IB index, which is recommended by the Asian Institute of Intelligent Buildings. ...
State of the Art of Air-source Heat Pump for Cold Regions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
In this paper, research on air source heat pump systems for cold regions in recent years is first summarized and compared. These systems can be divided into three kinds: a single-stage compression heat pump, liquid/vapor ...
A Study on Design Parameters of Stirling Engines for Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
One of the most promising projects in the application of combined heat and power(CHP) lies in energy production for buildings. Stirling engines are very applicable to residential buildings, especially because of the higher ...
The Emphasis on Ecological Design for High-rise Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
Along with the rapid development of urbanization, there are more and more high-rise buildings in cities. Meanwhile, the negative impacts of high-rise buildings on the urban environment have become more and more serious. ...
Technology Enablers for Next-Generation Economic Building Monitoring Systems
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2001)
The measurement of a building's electrical

necessary data used to increase energy
efficiency. Measurements typically range
from hourly to monthly. Monthly data can be
used to ...
Lessons Learned From the Continuous Commissioning of a Multi-Functional Commercial Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
A multi-functional institutional building often
has ventilation and comfort requirements that vary
widely from zone to zone. When we commissioned
the Reed McDonald building on the main campus of
Texas A&M University (TAMU), ...
Demand-based Optimal Control to Save Energy: A Case-Study in a Medical Center
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
Continuous Commissioning®1 (CC®) strategies include reducing simultaneous heating and cooling, scheduling the facility’s occupancy needs, utilizing free cooling, and minimizing excessive supply air and outside air. Most ...
ENERGY IMPACTS OF VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL MECHANICAL VENTILATION STRATEGIES
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-12)
The Building America program has been working with home builders for more than a decade using a variety of strategies for bringing fresh air into the homes. Many of these strategies utilize the central air handler fan from ...
Incremental Implementation of Energy Management at Industrial Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
The essential elements of a sustainable energy management program at industrial
facilities are defined in the ANSI/MSE 2000 Management System for Energy standard
document. Although many organizations have expressed interest ...
Integrating Process Unit Energy Metrics into Plant Energy Management Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2005)
As energy costs continue to rise across the process
industry, many plants have responded by developing
improved energy monitoring and reporting programs.
