Use of First Law Energy Balance as a Screening Tool for Building Energy Use Data: Experiences on the Inclusion of Outside Air Enthalpy Variable
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Quality controlled energy-use data is the foundation of energy performance evaluation for a building. The “Energy Balance Load” (EBL), a parameter derived from the first law of thermodynamics based on a whole-building ...
Development of Baseline Monthly Utility Models for Fort Hood, Texas
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1996-04)
The Fort Hood Army base in central Texas has more than 5,200 buildings and can be considered as typical of large Department of Defense Army bases in the continental United States. The annual utility bill of the base exceeds ...
Airside Economizer- Comparing Different Control Strategies and Common Misconceptions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Air-side economizer is broadly adopted in building HVAC design and operations. When the system is properly designed and the control sequence is properly implemented, air-side economizer provides significant energy savings. ...
Daylighting Design Tools in Atria for Minimum Cooling Loads in Atrium Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The daylighting and sunlighting value of an atrium are considered the main reasons for including the atrium use in the built environment. However, most atria today are either overlit, which causes tremendous cooling loads, ...
Bridging the Gap Between Commissioning Measures and Large Scale Retrofits in Existing Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2011-10)
Most often commissioning of existing buildings seeks to reduce a building’s energy consumption by implementation of operational changes via the existing equipment. In contrast, large scale capital retrofits seek to make ...
