Texas Facilities Commission's Facility Management Strategic Plan
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
The Persistence of Savings Obtained from Commissioning of Existing Buildings
(2008-06-10)
The objective of this study is to investigate the reasons why the performance of
mechanical systems degrades over time after commissioning and to recommend intervals
at which testing should be performed to maintain the ...
Four Years of On-Going Commissioning in CTEC-Varennes Building with a BEMS Assisted CX Tool
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2004)
The development of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) offers new opportunities to automate some
aspects of commissioning. Reduction of process cost and manual effort on site, transformation of a one time
application ...
Final Report on Retrospective Testing and Application of an Automated Building Commissioning Analysis Tool (ABCAT)
(2009-12)
More than $18 billion of energy is wasted annually in the U.S. commercial building sector. Commissioning services have proven successful in reducing building energy consumption, but the optimal energy performance obtained ...
Ontology Development for Low-Energy Building Embedded Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
This paper presents the results of initial work in developing an ontology for improving information exchange and automation in building system commissioning practices. In our previous research dealing with the derivation ...
Energy Consumption Estimation for Room Air-conditioners Using Room Temperature Simulation with One-Minute Intervals
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2006)
For the purpose of developing optimized control algorithm for room air-conditioners to ensure their energy efficiency, a short time interval (i.e., one minute) simulation of building thermal performance is necessary because ...
Sensor Types, Accuracy and the Proper Procedures for Point-To-Pont Verification
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
There is a large selection of sensors available on the market these days. Choosing the correct sensor type for the application is an integral part of ensuring suitable operation. Additionally, once a suitable sensor is ...
Achieving Energy Performance in spite of complex systems and dis-jointed design
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)
The extensively refurbished heritage government department office building in Canberra's
Parliamentary circle, has managed to achieve its target energy performance levels contrary to
expectations following difficult design ...
Micro Level Data Analysis in Continuous Commissioning®: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)
The overall efficiency of the Continuous Commissioning (CC) process relies on the interactions of the commissioning team, the building owner, and the building operators. At times the process may be hindered by the traditional ...
