Phase-Change Frame Walls (PCFWs) for On-Peak Demand Reduction and Energy Conservation in Residential Buildings: Development, Construction and Evaluation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The main purpose of this work was to develop a
thermally enhanced frame wall that would reduce
peak load air conditioning demand, shift a portion of
the thermal load, and conserve energy in residential
buildings. A frame ...
Conservation of Mass: An Old Principle That Needs More Usage in Hot & Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Conservation of mass is such a basic principal that
most designers no longer consider it for most design
calculations. Design phase commissioning checks on
several recent projects indicate designers should
include conservation ...
Re-Condensation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
When steam transfers its heat in a manufacturing process or heat exchanger, it may revert to a liquid phase called condensate. This paper presents a method to help certain manufacturing and petro-chemical companies to save ...
Identifying Steam Opportunity "Impact" Inputs for the Steam System Assessment Tool (SSAT)
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The U.S. DOE BestPractices Steam "Steam System Assessment Tool" (SSAT) is a powerful tool for quantifying potential steam improvement opportunities in steam systems. However, all assessment tools are only as good as the ...
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Industrial Programs and Their Impacts
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial
Technologies Program (ITP) has been working with
industry since 1976 to encourage the development
and adoption of new, energy-efficient technologies.
ITP has helped industry not ...
Compressed Air Systems Audits - Why? And How?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Rule Based Energy Management and Reporting System (EMRS) Applied to a Large Utility Power Station Complex
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
Deregulation of electricity and rising fuel costs
are causing renewed interest in Energy Management
Systems (EMS) to service both the utility and private
sectors. This paper details a case study of the
successful integration ...

This paper provides a business and technical case study for the Continuous Commissioning®(CC®) 1 process
developed by the Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) at Texas A&M University System for building optimization.
The business ...
Commissioning the Domestic Hot Water System on a Large University Campus: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The Texas A&M University (TAMU) main campus in College Station consists of 110 buildings with
12.5 million square feet of gross building space. Seventy-one of these buildings are connected to the main
campus domestic hot ...
Health Monitoring and Continuous Commissioning of Centrifugal Chiller Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
This paper presents strategies for detecting and diagnosing the chiller component faults and the sensor
faults involved in chiller conditioning monitoring and control. The two strategies are used in series. One strategy
diagnoses ...
