Case Study of Stratified Chilled Water Storage Utilization for Comfort and Process Cooling in a Hot, Humid Climate
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
The advantages of thermal storage are enhanced
in hot and humid climates. Year-round cooling
loads increase thermal storage operating cost
savings. The absence of a long winter during which
major maintenance tasks can be ...
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 ...
Instrumenting Buildings to Determine Retrofit Savings: Murphy's Law Strikes Again
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Experiences with instrumentation, installation
and maintenance of building energy metering systems
are presented. The building energy metering was
installed in a variety of locations in programs handled
by the Energy Systems ...
Development of Temperature and Humidity-Based Indicators for Diagnosing Problems in Low Tonnage, Split System Air Conditioners
(Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu)Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 1998)
This paper presents results of a survey of the
literature and identifies the most common degraded
conditions associated with low-tonnage air
conditioners. Other laboratory studies as well as
marketed diagnostic systems ...
Emerging, Cost-Effective Applications for Desiccant Dehumidification in the U.S.
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
Gas-fired desiccant dehumidification systems are
now being specified for many supermarkets, ice
arenas and cold warehouses, with installations now
numbering in the thousands. Their cost effectiveness
is due to the economic ...
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 ...
Outdoor Air, Heat Wheels and JCPenney: A New Approach to Retail Ventilation
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu)Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1998)
JCPenney Construction Services department is
responsible for the construction of new stores, takeover
of existing facilities to create a new store,
repairs to existing JCPenney facilities and the
expansion and modernization ...
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 ...
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 ...
