The Topic

The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is a model code that regulates minimum energy conservation requirements for new buildings.  The IECC addresses energy conservation requirements for all aspects of energy uses in both commercial and residential construction, including heating and ventilating, lighting, water heating, and power usage for appliances and building systems.
The IECC is a design document.  For example, before one constructs a building, the designer must determine the minimum insulation R-values and fenestration U-factors for the building exterior envelope.  Depending on whether the building is for residential use or for commercial use, the IECC sets forth minimum requirements for exterior envelope insulation, window, and door U-factors and SHGC ratings, duct insulation, lighting and power efficiency and water distribution insulation.

Join us as UT Tyler students from the ME department give presentation updates on two exciting projects which are supported by the East TX Chapter of ASHRAE and Trane!

Ground Source Heat Pump (Phase II)
Phase II involves the use of a water-to-air heat exchanger in a parallel arrangement with the ground heat exchanger. A control system will define the path of the water through one of the two heat exchangers in order that the equipment works at a high efficiency while avoiding overload to the ground that would cause unfavorable changes to the ground temperature.
Residential Zoning System
Development of a self-balanced control system.  Self-balanced refers to the ability of the system to automatically modulate the amount of primary air to be supplied to each zone, while maintaining the design operation efficiency of the system and allowing each zone to reach the desired temperature at the same time.
