The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration Under Dynamic Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
Energy consumption due to air infiltration is customarily assumed to equal the mass flow rate times the specific enthalpy difference between the inside and outside air. Anderlind showed theoretically that this represents ...
Disaggregating Cooling Energy Use of Commercial Buildings Into Sensible and Latent Fractions From Whole-Building Monitored Data: Methodology and Advantages
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
In hot and humid climates, where summers are both warm and humid, the latent cooling can be a significant portion of the total cooling load (as much as 40%). Typically the monitored data only includes whole-building heating ...
Survey of Energy Use in Grocery Stores
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
This paper presents the results of an energy use survey assembled for 93 grocery stores in south Texas. All stores were of the same chain. Several conclusions were drawn. Total electricity consumption per square foot is ...
Control Humidity With Single-Duct, Single-Zone, Constant Air Volume System
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
The lecture hall of the Richardson Petroleum
Building at Texas A&M University is a large lecture
hall, with a total floor area of approximately 2500 ft^2.
The lecture hall was served by a constant air volume
(CAV) air ...

The Cost-Effectiveness of Continuous Commissioning® Over the Past Ten Years
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
Continuous Commissioning® data including savings, costs, and implemented measures from over 60 buildings and sites commissioned by staff from the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University are presented. Measured ...
Joint-Frequency Bins versus Conventional Bin Weather Data in Analysis of HVAC System Operation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
Often in simplified energy analysis the use of bin weather data is employed for a more time efficient and better organized analysis than using the full 8760-hour annual weather data. It has been suggested that joint-frequency ...
Cooling-Only Prism Analysis of Eleven College Station Homes and Interpretation of Building Physical Parameters
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
A cooling-only PRISM analysis has been
performed on eleven new residences in College
Station using electricity billing data over an entire
year. This study revealed that, provided one corrects
for effects such as vacation ...

Impacts of Optimized Cold & Hot Deck Reset Schedules on Dual Duct VAV Systems - Theory and Model Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Optimal hot and cold deck reset schedules
can decrease simultaneous heating and cooling
in VAV AHUs comparing with constant cold
deck temperature operation. In this paper,
optimization models are developed. The energy
impacts ...
