Monitoring Electricity Consumption in the Tertiary Sector- A Project within the Intelligent Energy Europe Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The electricity consumption in the tertiary sector in the EU is still increasing and a further increase is expected of more than 2 % per year during the next 15 years. This sector includes companies and institutions of ...
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, ...
Green Building Performance Evaluation in the United States: Measured Results from LEED- New Construction Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Is the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program (LEED) delivering actual energy savings? This study addresses that question with a post-occupancy assessment of 121 LEED buildings across the United State. Input ...
Products and Process Modeling in Cx: A Significant Challenge for Digital-Cx
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
In the next decade, digitalization of commissioning (Cx) is likely to be a key advance, in the field of AEC. This requires that as much of what we do manually, through word processing and spreadsheets can be done through ...
Ultra-Thin, Energy Efficient Facades- A Contradiction in Terms?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Within the European Union about 40 percent of the energy is consumed in buildings. In Germany roughly a quarter of the primary energy demand is used for the heating of buildings. A detailed analysis reveals that more than ...
Development of an Information Flow Mechanism for Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The present paper proposes a new information flow mechanism for commissioning and develops tools to make the proposed information flow mechanism feasible. Although many technical tools have been developed in order to reduce ...
