Case Study: Sick Building Syndrome in a Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
An indepth environmental investigation was conducted at a four-story
building officing 1200 employees in Oklahoma. A
preassessment and walkthrough of the facility revealed extensive
ongoing renovations throughout the ...
Air Exchange Rates in New Energy-Efficient Manufactured Housing
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
During the 1989-1990 heating season, Pacific Northwest
Laboratory, for the Bonneville Power Administration,
measured the ventilation characteristics of 139 newly
constructed energy-efficient manufactured homes and a
control ...
Duct Leakage Impacts on Airtightness, Infiltration, and Peak Electrical Demand in Florida Homes
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Testing for duct leakage was done in 155 homes. Tracer
gas tests found that infiltration rates were three times greater
when the air handler was operating than when it was off.
Infiltration averaged 0.85 air changes per ...
Low Temperature Air Distribution with Ice Storage System: A Case Study
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
This paper discusses the performance of an off peak ice
storage air conditioning system
installed on an office warehouse
building in Dallas, Texas. The
system also incorporates a low
temperature (45 degree) air
distribution ...
Personal Computer-Based Model for Cool Storage Performance Simulation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
A personal computer based hourly
simulation model was developed based on the
CBS/ICE routines in the DOE-2.1 mainframe
building simulation software. The menu
driven new model employs more efficient data
and information ...
Model Code for the Control of Residential HVAC Distribution System Leakage and HVAC-Induced Building Leakage
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Modifications to local and state codes are seen as an
appropriate strategy for the prevention of residential air
distribution system leakage and its impacts. A model code
element has been developed to assist this ...
The Potential of Energy Management and Control Systems for Real-Time Electricity Pricing Programs
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
In implementing an integrated electric utility network, direct
communication between the utility and customers is an
important component. The rapid penetration of computer
building control technology in larger commercial ...
Building Envelope Design/Retrofit Utilizing Fresnel Type Overhangs in Hot Climates
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The selection of exterior elements for control of
solar incidence has been a major concern for
engineers, architects, and lighting designers.
This concern relates to problems of thermal heat
gain, direct glare and veiling ...
Using Mentor, an Expert System, to Perform Preventative Maintenance and Diagnostics on Centrifugal Chillers
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Mentor is an expert system which was developed and
introduced in 1986 assists service refrigeration techs to perform
the correct preventative maintenance (PM) and diagnostics on
centrifugal chillers at the right time. This ...
Metering and Calibration in LoanSTAR Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
End-use metering in commercial buildings often
requires installation of a large variety of transducers and data
loggers. The metering installation group in the LoanSTAR
monitoring program has the primary responsibility for ...
