Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDeveloping and Testing Dynamic Models for HVAC Systems Using System Identification ApproachNabil Nassif, Jasmine Buford, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper proposes integrated modeling and optimization methods for a chilled water HVAC system using a system identification approach. Two multiple input-single output models are developed to find the supply air temperature and fan power of the investigated chilled water air handling unit AHU. To test the proposed models, actual data are collected from existing HVAC systems. Different fan and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2017 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDeveloping an Integrated Method for Optimal Design of Chilled Water Plants in HVAC SystemsNabil Nassif, Nihal Al Raees, Fouad Al Rifaie, Taher Abu-LebdehBuildings account for a large portion of energy use in the US. Many those buildings have equipped with central plants to produce chilled water supplied to central air handling units. The chilled water plant design can have a significant impact on building energy uses and costs. In this paper, an integrated method for optimal design of chilled water plants is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 6,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleControl Techniques in Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) SystemsH. Mirinejad, S. H. Sadati, M. Ghasemian, H. TorabProblem statement: Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are among the main installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The purpose of the HVAC systems is normally to provide a comfortable environment in terms of temperature, humidity and other environmental parameters for the occupants as well as to save energy. Achieving these objectives requires a suitable control system design. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 19,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMeasurement of Cooling Load-Based Occupant Behavior in Under-Actuated Zones: A Time-Variance ApproachYaddarabullah, Yusuf Maulana Akbar, Aedah Binti Abd Rahman, Amna SaadThis research is dedicated to the enhancement of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems through an innovative investigation of occupant behavior within under-actuated zones. These zones are strategically positioned to elevate indoor air quality and comfort through the intelligent utilization of HVAC systems. However, accurately measuring the cooling loads within these zones, which are inherently influenced by the presence of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2023 · 6,158 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessIn the keywordsWLHP Systems in Commercial Buildings: A Case Study Analysis Based on a Dynamic Simulation ApproachGiovanni Barone, Annamaria Buonomano, Cesare Forzano, Adolfo PalomboIn this study, the results of the performance analysis of a WLHP system applied to a large mall building located close to Naples (South Italy) is presented. The investigation was carried out through a purposely developed dynamic simulation model conceived for building-WLHP systems analyses.
