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 ...
Development of the Potential Energy Savings Estimation (PESE) Toolkit
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2010-08)
This study has developed a prototype computer tool called the Potential Energy Savings Estimation (PESE) Toolkit. Baltazar’s methodology for potential energy savings estimation from EBCx/retrofit measures has been improved ...
A Twelve Year, $10 Million Energy Initiative Marching On: the Texas A&M University Campus Energy Systems CC®
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The $58.5 million in measured savings for the twelve-year, $10 million continuous commissioning®
(CC®) program at the Texas A&M University (TAMU) makes the decision to continue easy. In today's energy environment and with ...
Analysis of Energy Recovery Ventilator Savings for Texas Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
This analysis was conducted to identify the energy cost savings from retrofitting Texas buildings with air-to-air ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) systems. This analysis applied ERV and psychrometric equations in a bin-type ...
Continuous Commissioning® Opportunities in Hospital and Laboratory Facilities
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
This paper compiles the Continuous Commissioning® (CC®) costs, savings, and opportunities implemented in 20 hospital and laboratory commissioning projects involving 48 buildings. The potential savings and costs from 25 CC ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
Airside Economizer – Comparing Different Control Strategies and Common Misconceptions
(Energy Systems Laboratory, 2008-12)
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. ...
