A Thermal Sensation Index for Real-Time Tuning and Energy-Optimal Control of HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In this paper we discuss and develop a thermal comfort index that addresses the limitations of applying thermal comfort indices to control applications. The derivation closely follows the derivation of PMV, but certain ...
Data Management in the LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper discusses the complexity of managing building energy usage data for many buildings. The history and methodology of data collection at the Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring and Analysis Program, a large multimillion ...
Solar Water Heating: What's Hot and What's Not
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
A handful of electric utilities in the United States now pay incentives to their customers to install solar water heaters or are developing programs to do so. The solar water heater incentives are part of a broader utility ...
A Methodology for Identifying Retrofit Energy Savings in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Measured energy savings resulting from energy conservation retrofits in commercial buildings can be used to verify the success of the retrofits, determine the payment schedule for the retrofits, and guide the selection of ...
A Methodology to Develop Monthly Energy Use Models From Utility Billing Data For Seasonally Scheduled Buildings: Application to Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-12)
The measured energy savings from retrofits in buildings in the Texas LoanSTAR
program are determined as the difference between the energy consumption predicted by
a baseline model and the measured energy consumption ...
Calibration of Tangential Paddlewheel Insertion Flowmeters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper reports on the efforts to calibrate flow sensors that are being used to monitor building thermal energy use in a large scale monitoring project. Several insertion-type paddlewheel meters are being tested with a ...
Calibration of Relative Humidity Transducers for use in the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In support of the Texas LoanSTAR Energy Conservation Program, the Texas A&M University Monitoring and Analysis Program (MAP) calibration facility has been performing relative humidity calibrations for transducers being ...
The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration in an Outdoor Test Cell
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The energy consumption calculation of house envelopes assumes that conduction heat loss is independent on air infiltration heat loss, and that energy consumption is the sum of these losses. Anderlind [1985], Liu [1987], ...
Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring & Analysis Program- Characterizing Loanstar Buildings & Energy Consumption
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents an overview of the buildings participating in the Texas LoanSTAR program. In this paper, we categorized the buildings in terms of their number, size, percent area effected, types of buildings, types of ...
Flywheel Cooling: A Cooling Solution for Non Air-Conditioned Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
"Flywheel Cooling" utillzes the natural cooling processes of evaporation, ventilation and air circulation. These systems are providing low-cost cooling for distribution centers, warehouses, and other non air-conditioned ...
