Project Info COMPLETE Project Title

Office of the Future Executive Suite Demonstration

Project Number ET09SCE1200 Organization SCE End-use Lighting Sector Commercial Project Year(s) 2009 - 2011
Description
This project is being conducted to field test advanced lighting and lighting controls system design that will be appropriate and acceptable for typical executive suites. This project will examine the performance characteristics of highly controlled lighting systems in a real office environment compared to existing lighting and applicable codes, monitor plug load energy use, and provide measured and technical data.
Project Results
The Office of the Future (OTF) program is a new energy efficiency approach supported by a consortium of some of the nation’s largest and most progressive energy utilities. OTF targets existing multi‐tenant commercial office buildings with packages of advanced energy efficiency strategies that can be applied at the tenant level for building owners. This sector has been problematic for utility incentive programs to capture. The approach varies by building type and class, but executive offices and spaces of similar quality used by law firms, brokerage houses and other high-end Class A occupancies are a critical market. This report represents the findings from an initial OTF pilot of this Class A existing office type. The Executive Suites are located in GO4, a commercial office building owned and managed by Southern California Edison (SCE) in Rosemead, California. The SCE executive offices on the fourth floor provided an opportunity to measure energy use and to undertake a relighting project that meets the architectural, aesthetic and functional demands of the space while employing current energy efficient products and design techniques. This pilot project has three primary goals: 1) examine the performance characteristics of highly controlled lighting systems in a real office environment compared to existing lighting and applicable codes, 2) monitor plug load energy use, and 3) provide measured and technical data back to OTF consortium members to inform the OTF process.
