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 ...
An On-line Self-tuning Algorithm of PI Controller for the Heating and Cooling Coil in Buildings
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
An on-line self-tuning algorithm of PI controller
for the heating and cooling coil in buildings is
described in the paper. The algorithm evaluates
the controller performance by the integral
square error (ISE) of the coil ...
Overview of the Texas LoanSTAR Monitoring Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
The Texas LoanSTAR program is an eight year, $98
million revolving loan program, funded by oil overcharge
dollars, for energy conservation retrofits in Texas state, local
government and school buildings. The program began ...
Conductive Thermal Interaction in Evaporative Cooling Process
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
It has long been recognized that evaporative cooling is an effective and
logical substitute for mechanical cooling
in hot-arid climates. This paper explores
the application of evaporative coolers to
the hot-humid climates ...
Development of Diagnostic Rules for a Dry Bulb Economizer Mixed Air Loop
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Diagnostics of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
(HVAC) systems is becoming increasingly important because
of the rising cost of operation and maintenance of HVAC
systems. At the same time, computer costs are ...
Infiltration Testing of Homes in the Houston Gulf Coast Area
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1990)
Air Changes per Hour (ACH)
are determined by construction
and weather conditions. In this
test, it was found that the ACH
is equal to .59 plus .07 for
every year of age the home has.
The higher ACH values for age are
due ...
"What's Going On Out There?" A Baseline Survey for the LCRA's Good Cents Home Program
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)
The question, What
constitutes your baseline?"
always challenges Demand-Side
Management program staff. This
study answers that question
for the Lower Colorado River
Authority's Good Cents Home
Program.
The Lower Colorado ...
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 ...
FLASTAR: Measured Savings of a Comprehensive Energy Retrofit in a Florida Elementary School
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper describes the final results for the pilot
demonstration of the Florida Public Building Loan
Concept. This loan program was intended to provide
low cost funds to eligible public entities for upgrade
of building ...
Desiccants: Benefits for the Second Century of Air-Conditioning
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1996)
Desiccant technology now stands where mechanical
cooling stood in the 1930's. Desiccant systems have
been used by industrial engineers to achieve
productivity and energy benefits which far outweigh
their installed cost. ...
