A Calibration Methodology for Retrofit Projects Using Short-Term Monitoring and Disaggregated Energy Use Data
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
This paper presents an improved methodology to
calibrate energy simulation models to better represent
the actual energy use breakdowns in existing buildings.
The goal of this methodology is to help architects
and engineers ...
Ventilation Air Preconditioning Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Increased outside ventilation air
requirements demand special attention to
how that air will be conditioned. In winter,
the incoming air may need preheating; in
summer. the mixed air may be too humid for
effective ...
Optimizing Electric Humidifier Operation with an Air Side Economizer
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Air side economizer cycle is a control scheme that is
often used in WAC systems to reduce cooling
energy consumption by introducing variable
quantities of ambient air into a conditioned space to
satisfy the space cooling ...
Effect of Return Air Leakage on Air Conditioner Performance in Hot/Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
An experimental study was conducted to quantify the
effect of return air leakage from hot/humid attic
spaces on the performance of a residential air
conditioner. Tests were conducted in psychrometric
facilities where ...
Alternate Air Delivery Systems for Hot and Humid Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Carter & Burgess first began using triple deck
multi-zone units, in place of traditional VAV
systems, on the Texas State Capitol restoration.
Since the completion of that project design in early
1991, our firm has now used ...
How to Get Comfortable with Dehumidification
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Residential consumers are educated to think
about their comfort conditioning system as air
conditioners and furnaces. Over the past several
years the technology of products and controls has
been changing. Homes have ...
Monitoring & Analysis Program of Prison Sites for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice
(TDCJ) and the Energy Systems Laboratory
(ESL) at Texas A&M University have
collaborated to extend the LoanSTAR
Monitoring & Analysis Program to Texas' prison
facilities. Data loggers ...
Can ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 Requirements be Satisfied while Maintaining Moisture Control using Stock HVAC Equipment in Hot, Humid Climates?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Outdoor air intake rates are studied to
determine their impacts on moisture control
in buildings, especially in hot, humid
climates. Key impacts of outdoor air intake
rates can be readily modeled and studied
using computer ...
Alternative Refrigerants for Building Air Conditioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The majority of building air conditioning has
traditionally been achieved with vapor compression
technology using CFC-I I or HCFC-22 as refrigerant
fluids. CFC-11 is being successfully replaced by
HCFC-123 (retrofit or new ...
New MS-Windows-Based Educational Software for Teaching the Sunpath Diagram and Shading Mask Protractor
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
The well-known versions of the sunpath diagrams and
shading mask protractors that appear in the AIA's
Architectural Graphics Standards are based on the
equidistant projections and use a shading mask protractor
developed ...
