    • Commissioning of A Large Office Building in Texas - A Case Study 
      Deng, S.; Turner, W. D.; Liu, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      This case study involves commissioning of a large office building in the hot and humid climate of south Texas. The commissioning involved the installation of a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) on a chilled water pump, improved ...
    • Development of a Procedure for the Predictive Control Strategy of a Chilled Water Storage System 
      Wei, G.; Sakuri, Y.; Claridge, D. E.; Turner, W. D.; Liu, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      Thermal energy storage systems store the thermal energy produced by the chiller plant in periods of off-peak electrical demand or when cheaper electricity is available. The stored thermal energy is then withdrawn from the ...
    • Improved Air Volume Control Logic for VAV Systems 
      Wei, G.; Claridge, D. E.; Sakuri, Y.; M. Liu (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      In a VAV (variable air volume) system, the set point of the static pressure (usually measured at 213 downstream of the main supply air duct) is maintained by modulating the fan speed or inlet guide vane position. The set ...
    • Optimization Measures for Sporting and Special Event Facilities: Design and Operation 
      Giebler, T.; Wei, G.; Deng, S.; Claridge, D. E.; Turner, W. D.; Liu, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      Reducing unnecessary building energy costs is becoming more of a priority. Rising fuel prices and a global emphasis on energy efficiency are key contributing factors. This push towards energy efficiency certainly applies to ...
    • Optimize the Supply Air Temperature Reset Schedule for a Single-Duct VAV System 
      Wei, G.; Claridge, D. E.; Liu, M. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      The supply air temperature for a single-duct variable air volume (VAV) system is usually set as a constant. To minimize the simultaneous cooling and heating, this supply temperature is often reset based on either return ...
    • Short Term Energy Monitoring: What Does This Information Mean to the Facility Energy Manager? 
      Bryant, J. A.; Carlson, K. A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2000)
      Engineers at the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University have completed short term energy metering studies at a complex of offices in northern Texas and several buildings on the Texas A&M University campus ...
