Continuous Commisssioning of a Multipurpose Facility
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-11)
This paper presents a case study for the optimization of a multipurpose facility in a school district. The facility is a single-story building with a total conditioned area of 35,571 ft2. It contains a full size basketball ...
Compressed Air System Optimization
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1999-05)
Several years ago I went to a gas station and noticed that my car's tires were low on air. I saw the gas station had an air compressor, but it cost a quarter to use the compressor. I paid my quarter and used the compressor. ...
The Influence of Availability Costs on Optimal Heat Exchanger Size
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1987-09)
Optimizing heat exchangers based on second
law rather than first law considerations
ensures that the most efficient use of
available energy is being made. Techniques
for second-law optimizing heat exchangers
have been ...
Monitoring and Optimization of Building Operations of a Low-Energy School Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
The ambitious design and energy concept of the new Gebhard-Müller-Schule (GMS) school building in Biberach/Riss, Germany proved itself during the first three school years of operation. The intended target value of 30 ...
Simulation Support for Optimizing the Design and Operation of a Large Open-Space Office Building
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
This paper deals with design and post-design operational optimization studies for a new head office of a bank in Prague. The building can be characterized as a large open space office building. During the design phase ...
Exergy Analysis of the Steam Network in Tehran Oil Refinery and Evaluation with New Scenario
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2009-05)
The importance of energy crisis and global warming
necessitates to present strategies in order to decrease
the amount of emissions as well as fuel consumption in
large and complex industries such as refining and
petrochemical. ...
Microcomputers in Process Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
Computers have been extensively used for
process control and optimization since the
1970's. Many articles have been published
documenting the benefits of computer control; and
in general, energy savings of 5% or greater ...
Optimizing Power Factor Correction
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1986-06)
The optimal investment for power factor
correcting capacitors for Kansas Power and Light
Company large power contract customers is studied.
Since the billing capacity is determined by
dividing the real demand by the ...
Shut Down Fans, Save $1/4 Million/Yr and Increase Airflow?
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998-04)
In 1994, the fume collection system for the Desulphurization Station at Dofasco Inc., Hamilton, Ontario was studied for energy and maintenance optimization. The existing system consisted of two 600 hp fans on a wet scrubber ...
Simulation Models to Optimize the Energy Consumption of Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)
In practice, building operation systems are only adjusted during commissioning. This is done manually and leads to failure-free but often inefficient operation. This work deals with the development of simulation models to ...
