... to determine the benefits of using PCM. A Trombe wall was added in both concrete cubicles and its influence was investigated. All brick cubicles were equipped with domestic heat pumps as Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system; therefore, the energy consumption was registered, providing real...

...Thierry Alex Mara; Eric Fock; Franc¸ois Garde; Frank Lucas This paper deals with a new model of HVAC systems for hourly simulations. The former is derived from a short time step model that is priory described. The hourly model is appraised by comparing its predictions to those of the short time...

...James E. Braun This paper provides an overview of research related to automated fault detection and diagnosis for chillers, packaged air conditioners, and other vapor compression cooling equipment. The paper discusses the benefits, constraints, and possible products for FDD applied in the HVAC...

...Jin Wen; Theodore F. Smith Improving the energy efficiency of buildings by examining their heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems represents an opportunity. To improve energy efficiency, to increase occupant comfort, and to provide better system operation and control algorithms...

...John M. House; Kwangduk Douglas Lee; Leslie K. Norford Fault detection and diagnostics applied to heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment has been an active area of research over the past decade, with much of the work focusing on air distribution systems. Concurrent efforts have...

... applications, including determining the size and placement of windows and the composition of building walls, the generation of building form, and the design and operation of HVAC systems. Future work is identified, notably interfaces between a GA and both simulation and CAD programs. GAs have been applied...

...Peter S. Curtiss; Jan F. Kreider Successful operation of distributed generation systems requires controls that can integrate building load, electric generator, and grid information in near real time to produce optimal set points for the generator and the HVAC system(s) in the building(s) served...
