      Andre, P.; Silva, C. A.; Fonseca, N.; Hannay, J.; Lebrun, J.; Lacote, P. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
      Three years after its start up, the building considered here is not yet providing a satisfactory comfort to its occupants. Too cold and too hot environmental conditions were too often encountered in different occupied ...
    • Re-Commissioning of the CAMET HVAC System: A Successful Case Study 
      Andre, P.; Cuevas, C.; Lacote, P.; Lebrun, J. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2003)
      Commissioning is a unique opportunity, for all partners concerned, to learn a lot about the real behavior of a HVAC system. It has to start from comfort and health requirements in occupancy zones, and going back to the ...
    • Re-Condensation 
      Bhatia, P.; Kozman, T. (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 ...
