Applied change of mean detection techniques for HVAC fault detection and diagnosis and power monitoring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)A signal processing technique, the detection of abrupt changes in a time-series signal, is implemented with two different applications related to energy use in buildings. The first application is a signal pre-processor for ... -
A scale model study of displacement ventilation with chilled ceilings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995)Displacement ventilation is a form of air-conditioning which provides good air quality and some energy savings. The air quality is better than for a conventional mixed ventilation system. The maximum amount of cooling that ... -
A re-connection : modeling built works after natural systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)The constructed world is full of built works that consume energy and emit unusable waste. This is fostered by the act of 'masking' the true situation and the lack of embedded feedback, associated with the destructive ...
