Pre-Retrofit Lighting Study at the University of Texas at Arlington
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
In the summer of 1993 the University of Texas at Arlington Physical Plant Department submitted a request to the Energy Systems Lab to conduct a lighting study to determine the most cost-effective method of implementing ...
Impacts of Static Pressure Set Level on the HVAC Energy Consumption and Indoor Conditions
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Air static pressure must be maintained at a
certain level leaving the air-handing unit (AHU) to
force a suitable amount of air through the terminal
boxes. However, an excessive static pressure level is
often used due to ( ...
An Advanced Economizer Controller for Dual Duct Air Handling Systems - with a Case Application
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Heating penalty is expected when economizers
are applied to dual-duct air handling systems.
The heating penalty can even be higher than the
cooling savings when the hot air flow is higher
than the cold air flow. To avoid ...
A Prediction of Energy Savings Resulting from Building Infiltration Control
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Heat transfer through building walls
consists of three main components:
conduction heat transfer, solar gain and
infiltration heat transfer. An interaction
among these three heat transfer
components alters the effective ...
The Measured Energy Impact of Infiltration in an Outdoor Test Cell
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.eslwin.tamu.edu), 1992-05)
The energy consumption calculation of house envelopes assumes that conduction heat loss is independent on air infiltration heat loss, and that energy consumption is the sum of these losses. Anderlind [1985], Liu [1987], ...
Rehabilitating A Thermal Storage System Through Commissioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
A thermal storage system was installed in a
37,000 ft2 hospital in April 1992. The chiller
had to be operated every summer during peak
demand periods until the authors rehabilitated
system through building commissioning ...
Reducing Building Energy Costs Using Optimized Operation Strategies for Constant Volume Air Handling Systems
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
Building energy consumption can be substantially
reduced after implementing what we call Extended
O&M Measures. The Extended O&M Measures are a
scientific refinement of traditional O&M measures.
Specifically, they ...
A Methodology to Identify Monthly Energy Use Models from Utility Bill Data for Seasonally Scheduled Buildings: Application to K-12 Schools
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The measured energy savings from retrofits
in buildings is often determined as the difference
between the energy consumption predicted by a
baseline model and the measured energy
consumption during the post retrofit ...
A Novel Procedure to Determine Optimal Air Static Pressure Set-points and Reset Schedules in VAV Air Handling Units
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Air static pressure set-point or schedule for VAV
AHLJ systems is one of the most crucial
operational parameters for satisfy lug the building
load, maintaining the room comfort level and
saving energy costs. This paper ...
Impact of Nighttime Shut Down on the Prediction Accuracy of Monthly Regression Models for Energy Consumption in Commercial Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Regression models of measured
energy use in buildings are widely used as
baseline models to determine retrofit savings
from measured energy consumption. It is less
expensive to determine savings from monthly
utility bills ...
