Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBuilding Energy Modeling Using Artificial Neural NetworksMaya Arida, Nabil Nassif, Rand Talib, Taher Abu-LebdehAccurate modeling of total building energy is now vital to reduce energy consumption. This is especially true for buildings since they are considered as the largest energy consumer in the United States. This paper investigates modeling methods for building energy-systems using non-linear auto-regression artificial neural networks. The proposed model can forecast the whole building energy consumptions given the four input … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2017 · 7,125 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTHE EFFECT OF VENTILATION AND ECONOMIZER ON ENERGY CONSUMPTIONS FOR AIR SOURCEHEAT PUMPS IN SCHOOLSNihal Al Raees, Nabil Nassif, Fouad Al RifaieThe study discusses the applications of CO2-based demand-controlled ventilation DCV strategy integrated with the economizer for air source heat pumps in schools, investigates their impact on the annual heating, cooling and total energy consumption, also determines the potential savings achieved in different USA locations. The study includes detailed energy analysis on an existing middle school through whole building simulation energy … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2014 · 8,383 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA NEW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAN MODEL BASED ON NUMERICAL ANALYSISNabil Nassif, Raymond Tesiero, Nihal AlRaeesA large portion of energy use in buildings is attributed to air movement devices. Accurate estimation of fan performance is a key element in maximizing fan efficiency. This study proposes a new fan model that can be used in several applications such as optimization and fault detection and can also be incorporated into any commercial building models. The model uses … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,183 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChilled Water VAV System Optimization and Modeling Using Artificial Neural NetworksRand Talib, Nabil Nassif, Maya Arida, Taher Abu-LebdehIn 2016, It was estimated that about 40% of total U.S. energy consumption was consumed by the residential and commercial sectors. According to EIA, in 2009, the energy consumption in U.S. homes was 48% which was down from 58% in 1993 (Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS). The development of building energy savings methods and models becomes apparently more necessary for … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 6,449 accessesView PDF Cite
