Development of Baseline Monthly Utility Models for Fort Hood, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Fort Hood Army base in central
Texas has more than 5,200 buildings and can be
considered as typical of large Department of
Defense Army bases in the continental United
States. The annual utility bill of the base ...
Use of EMCS Recorded Data to Identify Potential Savings Due to Improved HVAC Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
In most chiller and boiler central plants, the
energy management and control systems (EMCS)
monitor and record key operation parameters and
energy production continuously. A method was
developed to identify potential O&M ...
Data Polling Routine (PlotHood) to Generate Weekly Inspection Plots for Fort Hood, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1996)
This report has been prepared for the United States Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (CERL) located at Champaign, IL. The report describes the work performed by the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) of ...
Impacts of Static Pressure Set Level on the HVAC Energy Consumption and Indoor Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Air static pressure must be maintained at a
certain level leaving the air-handing unit (AHU) to
force a suitable amount of air through the terminal
boxes. However, an excessive static pressure level is
often used due to ( ...
An Advanced Economizer Controller for Dual Duct Air Handling Systems - with a Case Application
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Heating penalty is expected when economizers
are applied to dual-duct air handling systems.
The heating penalty can even be higher than the
cooling savings when the hot air flow is higher
than the cold air flow. To avoid ...
A Prediction of Energy Savings Resulting from Building Infiltration Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Heat transfer through building walls
consists of three main components:
conduction heat transfer, solar gain and
infiltration heat transfer. An interaction
among these three heat transfer
components alters the effective ...
Development and Use of Baseline Monthly Utility Models for Eight Army Installations Around the United States
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1996)
This report has been prepared for the United States Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USACERL) located in Champaign, IL by the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) of Texas A&M University. The first phase of ...
An Evaluation of Energy-Saving Retrofits from the Texas LoanSTAR Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), Texas A&M UniversityDepartment of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1996)
This report discusses the LoanSTAR retrofit savings through December 1993 with an emphasis on the Constant Volume to Variable Air Volume air-handler retrofits. The report also summarizes several key findings about the ...
