A commentary on the instrumentation for building energy monitoring and control systems (EMCS). Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5368754
;
This paper reviews sensors generally used for building energy monitoring and control systems (EMCS). The sensor operating principles, performances, calibration, maintenance, installation precautions, failure modes and their suitability for building EMCS use are discussed. Sensors covered in the paper include orifices, flow nozzles, Venturis, vortex shedding meters, and turbine meters for flow measurements, liquid-in-glass thermometers, resistance thermometers, and thermocouples for temperature measurements, and salt-phase transition hygrometers, impedance hygrometers, and dimensional change hygrometers for humidity measurements.
