This project seeks to determine the energy savings from the bulk refrigeration and flash refrigeration processes and analyzes the energy saving potential of using a new wine stabilization process known as...

This report shows the incremental energy savings and demand reduction of currently available LED channel letter signs over traditional neon channel letter signs. The project assesses and verifies energy savings and demand reductions by measuring the performance of the technologies in a controlled...

This study was conducted to determine the typical energy savings potential of a single compressor...

The LED Refrigerated/Freezer Case Lighting Demonstration project studied the applicability of light-emitting-diode (LED) lamps used to provide display case lighting in the supermarket sector. T8 fluorescent lamp systems were replaced with new LED linear light bar systems at the retail supermarket...

The LED High Bay Lighting Demonstration project studied the applicability of light-emitting-diode (LED) lamps replacing metal halide (MH) high intensity discharge (HID) to provide adequate lighting for warehouse and storage facilities. MH HID fixtures were replaced with new LED high bay fixtures at...

The linear LED Jewelry Case Lighting Demonstration project studied the applicability of LED fixtures in a jewelry display case installation. Pin based halogen lighting systems were replaced with new linear LED light bar fixtures in 14 jewelry cases located at Charles Koll Jewelers in San Diego....

Project SummaryHotel guest room energy management control systems are widely used throughout the world, but currently have limited acceptance in the United States.  An increased market penetration of such systems could significantly reduce hotel energy use.The objective of this study is to...

Traditionally hood exhaust in commercial kitchens are tied to a make-up air unit which balances building pressure during the kitchen operation. Generally, this hood is on at full speed for entire daily operation of the foodservice facility, which range from 18 to 24 hours per day. The concept of...

Project Summary In recent years, water utilities have benefited greatly from the adoption of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to improve process quality and reliability. Though SCADA systems also can improve energy efficiency, most water utilities currently do not use...
