Net-Zero and Beyond! Design and Performance of NIST’s Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

May 15, 2015
Author(s)
Arthur H. Fanney, William V. Payne, Tania Ullah, Lisa C. Ng, Matthew T. Boyd, Farhad Omar, Mark W. Davis, Harrison M. Skye, Brian P. Dougherty, Brian J. Polidoro, William M. Healy, Joshua D. Kneifel, Betsy Pettit
A Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility has been constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The facility is being used to demonstrate that a home similar in size, aesthetics, and amenities to those in

Monitoring Techniques for the Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility

December 31, 2014
Author(s)
Mark W. Davis, William M. Healy, Matthew Boyd, Lisa Ng, William V. Payne, Harrison Skye, Tania Ullah
NIST has constructed a Net-Zero Energy Residential Test Facility that will be used as a testbed for investigating the measurement science related to systems, components, and operations that will lead to homes that generate as much energy over a course of a

Sensitivity Analysis of Installation Faults on Heat Pump Performance

October 8, 2014
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, Hugh Henderson, William V. Payne
Numerous studies and surveys indicated that typically-installed HVAC equipment operates inefficiently and wastes considerable energy due to different installation errors (faults), e.g., improper refrigerant charge, incorrect airflow, oversized equipment

Residential Heat Pump Heating Performance with Single Faults Imposed

October 29, 2010
Author(s)
William V. Payne, Piotr A. Domanski, Seok Ho Yoon
A heat pump equipped with a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) was tested in environmental chambers during steady-state no-fault and imposed-fault operation. The studied system was an R410A split residential heat pump with an 8.8 kW nominal cooling

Residential Heat Pump Heating Performance with Single Faults Imposed

July 11, 2010
Author(s)
Seok H. Yoon, William V. Payne, Piotr A. Domanski
A heat pump equipped with a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) was tested in environmental chambers during steady-state no-fault and imposed-fault operation. The studied system was an R410A split residential heat pump with an 8.8 kW nominal cooling

Effect of Heat Pump Commissioning Faults on Annual Energy Use

January 24, 2010
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, Hugh Henderson, William V. Payne
The study sought to develop an understanding of the impact of commissioning common faults the energy consumption of an air-to-air heat pump installed in a single-family house. Through annual simulations of the house/heat pump system, the study found that

Cooling Mode Fault Detection And Diagnosis Method For A Residential Heat Pump

October 17, 2008
Author(s)
Minsung Kim, Seok H. Yoon, William V. Payne, Piotr A. Domanski
Performance characteristics of a R410A residential unitary split heat pump equipped with a thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) were investigated in the cooling mode under no-fault and faulty conditions. An automated method of steady-state detection was

Longitudinal Heat Conduction in Finned-Tube Evaporators

August 21, 2007
Author(s)
Piotr A. Domanski, William V. Payne, J M. Choi
The paper evaluates performance of finned-tube evaporators at different refrigerant exit superheats to assess the impact of longitudinal heat conduction on capacity.

A Low Cost Digital Vibration Meter

April 1, 2007
Author(s)
William V. Payne, Jon Geist
This report describes the development of a low cost vibration amplitude sensor. The processes used to develop this sensor involve the use of Micro-Electronic and Mechanical Systems (MEMS) manufacturing techniques. The major mechanical element of the
