A Methodology to Identify Monthly Energy Use Models from Utility Bill Data for Seasonally Scheduled Buildings: Application to K-12 Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The measured energy savings from retrofits
in buildings is often determined as the difference
between the energy consumption predicted by a
baseline model and the measured energy
consumption during the post retrofit ...
Outdoor Air, Heat Wheels and JCPenney: A New Approach to Retail Ventilation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
JCPenney Construction Services department is
responsible for the construction of new stores, takeover
of existing facilities to create a new store,
repairs to existing JCPenney facilities and the
expansion and modernization ...
A Novel Procedure to Determine Optimal Air Static Pressure Set-points and Reset Schedules in VAV Air Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Air static pressure set-point or schedule for VAV
AHLJ systems is one of the most crucial
operational parameters for satisfy lug the building
load, maintaining the room comfort level and
saving energy costs. This paper ...
An On-line Self-tuning Algorithm of PI Controller for the Heating and Cooling Coil in Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
An on-line self-tuning algorithm of PI controller
for the heating and cooling coil in buildings is
described in the paper. The algorithm evaluates
the controller performance by the integral
square error (ISE) of the coil ...
Field Evaluation of Desiccant-Integrated HVAC Systems: A Review of Case Studies in Multiple Commercial/Institutional Building Types
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
An independent field research effort co-funded by
the Gas Research Institute and The U.S. Department
of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory is
documenting the performance and energy usage
characteristics of active ...
Daylighting: Measuring the Performance of Light Shelves and Occupant-Controlled Blinds on a Dimmed Lighting Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The design of a day lighted space is both an art and
a science. The biggest challenge facing the lighting
designer is to admit only as much light as necessary
and distribute it evenly throughout the space without
introducing ...
Towards Green-Sensibility in African Architecture - A Climate-sensitive Approach to Design in East Africa
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This Paper makes a commentary between science
and architectural design of vernacular architecture in
East Africa. It relates the history of architectural
theory and contemporary practice of environmental
control. Firstly, ...
Impact of Nighttime Shut Down on the Prediction Accuracy of Monthly Regression Models for Energy Consumption in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Regression models of measured
energy use in buildings are widely used as
baseline models to determine retrofit savings
from measured energy consumption. It is less
expensive to determine savings from monthly
utility bills ...
Building Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality - You Can Have Both
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Providing ventilation for acceptable indoor air
quality per ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 does not
require large increases in utility costs. Building
efficiency does not have to be sacrificed for a
healthy building. The ASHRAE ...
Reducing Pump Power Consumption by 40% (1000 KW) Through Improved Pump Management in a Central Plant
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Chilled water system data collection and field
measurements performed at the Central Utility Plant
of Texas A&M University revealed that 30 - 50 % of
the primary pump head is consumed by manual and
automatic valves being ...
