Taylor Engineering staff members routinely
assist in building science research. We have participated
in numerous ASHRAE research projects, several
PIER projects, and emerging technology/market transformation
projects funded by the California Utility companies and are
proud to be a member of U.C. Berkeley's
Center
for the Built Environment. Significant contributions
include:
- Principal Investigations for
the Large Building Systems element of the PIER funded Integrated
Energy Systems - Productivity and Building Science project.
This project resulted in new simulation models, energy code
requirements and the Advanced VAV System Design Guide.
- Principal Investigations for
research on VAV box damper controls funded by PIER and PG&E.
This on-going research is targeted to change both VAV box rating
procedures and energy codes.
- Principal Investigations for
the PG&E funded CoolTooltm Chilled Water Plant
optimization project. This project developed improved
equipment software models that are now in the
EnergyPlus and
eQuest,
a popular
Chilled Water Plant Design Guide, energy code requirements
and a chilled water plant design seminar that has been presented
across the country by ASHRAE and utility companies.
- Creation of the
Universal
Translator software for alignment and analysis of data from
data loggers and EMCS.
- Participation in PIER funded
research that is developing new underfloor air distribution
system models for EnergyPlus.
- Participation in several PIER
funded research project on automated fault detection and
diagnostic systems. One of these systems is currently
available from three EMCS vendors. A
case study on its implementation was written by Taylor
Engineering.
