Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLOW-COST STRATEGIES TO SAVE ENERGY IN K-12 SCHOOLSNabil Nassif, Raymond C. Tesiero III, Harmohindar Singh, K. M. FlurchickAdvanced Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) offer an excellent means of reducing energy consumption in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems while maintaining and improving indoor environmental conditions. This can be achieved through the use of computational intelligence and optimization with a building automation system and multiple sensors, which can be quite expensive. However, energy awareness and proper scheduling … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 17 Mar 2014 · 8,164 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA 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 · 8,189 accessesView PDF Cite
