A Bems-assisted Commissioning Tool to Improve the Energy Performance of Hvac Systems

1 At the time this work was performed, Maria Corsi was a Research and Development Agent at CANMET-Energy Technology Centre, Natural Resources Canada. ABSTRACT The evolving capabilities of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) offer new opportunities to automate some parts of the commissioning process and can generate benefits over the entire life of a building. These benefits include a redu...

Thermal Modeling of the Cooling Ceiling Systems as Commissioning Tool

This paper presents the results of a study performed to develop a computational model of cooling ceiling systems. This one has to be used in situ, as diagnosis tool in commissioning process in order to determine the main operating conditions of the system in cooling mode. The model considers the cooling ceiling as a fin. Only the dry regime is considered. From ceiling and room dimensions, mater...

Conformity with Clinical Setting among Nursing Students as a Way to Achieve Belongingness: A Qualitative Study

Introduction: Belongingness is one of the most important needs among students in order to have proper performance in clinical setting. If basic needs of students to security and belonging are not met, higher level needs will be of less importance and there will not be an opportunity to consider them. The purpose of this study is to present a set of findings by studies exploring nursing students...
