| Summary: | a 3-parameter cooling models on monthly energy consumption and December 1993. Retrofits to the case study buildings and efficiency of the energy audit process. This thesis and summer months; and 2) the school year base-level approximately matches the base-level determined when running are: 1) that schools are better modeled by grouping data into coincident weather data. data and has the advantage that it does not require describes methods for using annual, monthly, daily, and developed using data from the period between September 1991 electricity consumption can be calculated by taking the 25th Eleven schools in different regions in Texas were identified energy savings. Two important new findings from this thesis for the case studies. The results show that certain indices hourly indices to improve current energy auditing processes. identified by a site visit. The indices developed provide a Indices are an important tool used to increase the accuracy match what is recommended by on-site visits and actually measures and operation and maintenance measures prior to a of the Texas LoanSTAR program. The indices were then owners/administrators can identify those areas of a building percentiles of all twelve months of data reported. This performing more efficient energy analyses on buildings. Each provide additional information that is sometimes not reaudited to confirm the results from the previous audits, school in this thesis was audited prior to this study as part separate occupancy profiles consisting of school year months site visit. These indices assist the energy auditor in that have the most potential for energy cost reduction the usefulness of the indices, and/or discover new areas for useful means by which energy audit firms and building were completed during this period also. The sites were then |
