Performance Monitoring of Chilled Water Distribution Systems using HVAC-Cx

July 30, 2017
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Michael A. Galler, Steven T. Bushby
Automated commissioning tools facilitate an ongoing commissioning process to improve occupant comfort, ensure the persistence of correct system operation, and reduce energy consumption. These tools decrease the time and the skill level required to carry

LOW-GWP REFRIGERANTS: PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT AND SELECTION TRADEOFFS

April 23, 2017
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, Riccardo Brignoli, J S. Brown, Andrei F. Kazakov, Mark O. McLinden
The merits of an alternative refrigerant are established based on many attributes including environmental acceptance, chemical stability in the refrigeration system, low toxicity, flammability, efficiency and volumetric capacity. In an earlier work, these

CYCLE_D: NIST Vapor Compression Cycle Design Program, Version 5.1.1; Users Guide

March 9, 2017
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, J S. Brown, Eric W. Lemmon
The CYCLE_D package simulates vapor compression refrigeration cycles that use pure refrigerants or blends of refrigerants. The model can simulate a basic subcritical or transcritical refrigeration cycle, both with or without a liquid-line/suction-line heat

Performance Data from the NIST Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

January 17, 2017
Author(s)
William M. Healy, Arthur H. Fanney, Brian P. Dougherty, Lisa C. Ng, William V. Payne, Tania Ullah, Farhad Omar
Data were collected over two separate year-long test periods at the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility, a laboratory that is designed to evaluate a variety of technologies and operational strategies that lead to energy efficient houses with

A Tool for Evaluating Fault Detection and Diagnostic Methods for Fan Coil Units

December 6, 2016
Author(s)
Shokouh Pourarian, Jin Wen, Daniel Veronica, Amanda Pertzborn, Xiaohui Zhou, Ran Liu
Dynamic simulation software tools are needed for the research and development of improved methods for automatic control and automated fault detection and diagnosis of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. These tools must generate data
