ECBCS Annex 47: Cost-Effective Commissioning Research

November 20, 2006
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Hannah Friedman, Marti Frank
In 2005, the Executive Committee of the International Energy Agency s (IEA) Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (ECBCS) program approved the start of a new four-year research project on building commissioning. Annex 47, on Cost-Effective

Exploration of Potential Energy Saving From Smart Appliances

July 1, 2005
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti
Technological innovations coupled with the decreasing costs of sensors have brought about a new generation of Smart appliances. While current sensor-based appliances have shown the potential to offer consumers increased options for energy and cost savings

The New DOE Dishwasher Test Procedure: Development and First Results

March 29, 2004
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, J Bowman, B Twigg
This paper summarizes the main changes to the test procedure for residential dishwashers and, Department of Energy s (DOE, Department) and industry s collaborative efforts to develop the data supporting those changes. It also quantifies energy consumption

A New Federal Test Procedure for Dishwashers

November 1, 2003
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti
Soil-sensing models represent a group of innovative dishwashers that measure operational values (e.g., turbidity, pressure, water temperature) and adapt the wash cycle based on the information collected. Because of the responsiveness of these dishwashers

A Test Shell for Developing Automated Commissioning Tools for BACnet Systems

May 20, 2003
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Michael A. Galler, Steven T. Bushby
spite advances in building automation technology, many building control systems do not work as intended. Thorough commissioning of control systems can significantly improve operation but it is manually intensive and thus expensive and often neglected

Using the Virtual Cybernetic Building Testbed and FDD Test Shell for FDD Tool Development

October 1, 2001
Author(s)
Steven T. Bushby, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Cheol D. Park, Michael A. Galler
vances in building automation technology have taken place for a variety of building services including heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) control systems, lighting control systems, access control systems, and fire detection systems. In spite

Test Procedure Development for Residential Dishwashers

May 1, 1999
Author(s)
Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti
It has been recognized that the current Department of Energy (DOE) dishwasher test procedure is inadequate in testing soil sensing dishwashers. As a result, DOE proposed that NIST evaluate the dishwasher test procedure as a part of their Appliance

The Effect of Supply Air Volume on Room Temperature Stability and Uniformity

August 3, 1998
Author(s)
Stephen J. Treado, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti
The effect of supply airflow rate on the thermal conditions in a high-accuracy temperature controlled laboratory space was investigated using the NIST/BFRL Temperature Control Module. Detailed measurements were conducted of air and surface temperatures
