Results of CC Follow-Up in the G. Rollie White Building
Abstract
An investigation into the increase of energy
consumption of G. Rollie White Coliseum was part
of the persistence project[1], which investigates the
savings in energy consumption of ten buildings that
were commissioned by the Continuous
Commissioning (CCSM) group at the Energy Systems
Laboratory (ESL), Texas A&M University (TAMU).
The CC process was conducted between 1996 and
1997 under direction of and in cooperation with the
TAMU Physical Plant Energy Office. Total savings
for the ten building are $4,255,000. Most of them had
small savings degradation (or increased savings), but
the degradation of savings of G. Rollie White
Coliseum was larger than all the other buildings. The CC follow-up activities on the investigation
into the increase of energy consumption of G. Rollie
White Coliseum included energy consumption and
HVAC system operation data analysis, measurement
on HVAC systems, and examination of the control
program. HVAC hardware problems, HVAC
operation problems, and control program problems
were found. By fixing HVAC hardware problems,
correcting HVAC operation, and modifying control
program, the indoor air temperature and humidity are
now under control and annual energy savings of
about $36,300 more than the initial CC are being
achieved.
