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
and thermal consumption provides the
necessary data used to increase energy
efficiency. Measurements typically range
from hourly to monthly. Monthly data can be
used to ...

(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
The US Postal Service operates more than 38,000 post offices across the country and spends $350 million
annually on utilities (1). Driven by President Clinton's 1999 Executive Order that mandates a 35 percent
reduction in ...
Monitoring and Verification Procedures Used in the Texas LoanSTAR and Rebuild America Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
The monitoring and verification procedures that
have been developed for the Texas LoanSTAR
program and the ESL's Rebuild America Program
have become a foundation for a number of other state
and federal M&V programs, including ...
Accounting for the Occupancy Variable in Inverse Building Energy Baselining Models
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
The occupancy factor is often
underestimated in inverse modeling of building
energy use, or accounted for by grouping the
daily data in occupied and unoccupied groups
which are modeled separately. For instance, in
institutional ...
Performance Analysis of Dual-Fan, Dual-Duct Constant Volume Air-Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
Dual-fan, dual-duct air-handling units introduce
outside air directly into the cooling duct and use two
variable speed devices to independently maintain the
static pressure of the hot and the cold air ducts.
Analytical ...
Evaluation of Emerging Diagnostic Tools for Commercial HVAC Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
This paper compares and evaluates the
capabilities of six emerging diagnostic tools for
commercial HVAC systems. We present a brief
description of the diagnostic tools, and then focus on
evaluating the features of the ...
Cromer Cycle Air Conditioner: A Study to Confirm Target Performance
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
The Cromer cycle uses a desiccant wheel operating
in conjunction with a typical air conditioning system.
Simulations and laboratory prototypes demonstrate
that the cycle has the potential for enhanced humidity
control with ...
Demand Relief and Weather Sensitivity in Large California Commercial Office Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2001)
A great deal of research has examined the
weather sensitivity of energy consumption in
commercial buildings; however, the recent
power crisis in California has given greater
importance to peak demand. Several new ...
