User Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Peter Edwards.  Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

PRELIMINARY THESIS RESEARCH

Mumma, Stanley. "Overview of Integrating Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems with Parallel Terminal Systems.” ASHRAE Transactions. 107.AT‐01‐7‐1 (2001): 545‐552. Print.

 

      This article discusses the various benefits of using a 100% outdoor air system in comparison to a more conventional variable air volume system.  It also explains the different applications of a DOAS system in a building and provides an overview of the different parallel terminal units that can be used to meet the sensible loads in the building.

 

 

Jeong, Jae‐Weon, Stanley Mumma, and William Bahnfleth. “Energy Conservation Benefits of a Dedicated Outdoor Air System with Parallel Sensible Cooling by Ceiling Radiant Panels.” ASHRAE Transactions. 109.KC‐03‐7‐1 (2003): 627‐636. Print.

 

      This article explains why ceiling radiant cooling panels are the best choice for parallel sensible cooling in a dedicated outdoor air system.  It does this by comparing the energy modeling results and actual energy consumption figures of a radiant cooling system to the other alternatives.

 

 

Mumma, Stanley and Yizai Xia.  “Ceiling Radiant Cooling Panels Employing Heat Conducting Rails: Deriving the Governing Heat Transfer Equations”.  ASHRAE Transactions 2006, Vol. 112 Pt. 1: 34-41. Print.

      This article provides an overview of the different types of overhead hydronic radiant cooling systems and derives governing heat transfer equations that can be used to determine the cooling capacity of a given radiant cooling panel.

 

Beckman, Duffie.  “Solar Engineering of the Thermal Processes”. 2006. John Wiley and Sons, Inc.

      This textbook covers the newest developments in solar energy technology by providing a current overview of the governing principles, functioning, design and economics of solar thermal processes.
