This project aims to identify available technologies suitable for automating demand response for small-medium commercial buildings; to validate the extent to which that technology does what it claims to be able to do; and determine the extent to which customers find the technology useful for DR...

This project was designed to evaluate strategies and tactics for implementation of ACCA Standards 180 and 4. In order to explore further development and marketing of the HVAC Quality Maintenance (QM) program, PG&E conducted customer research with the objectives to: (1) understand...

Project SummaryConvection ovens are general-purpose (standard) ovens used to cook food products by forcing hot dry air over the surface of the food product. They originated from standard ovens and were developed to increase food preparation time as well as solve the problem of uneven heat...

Project SummaryThis Office of the Future pilot project collects measured energy use from on-the-ground installations. A stepped baseline, starting with existing conditions, allows Measurement and Verification (M&V) investigations into the contribution of savings from lighting and lighting...

Project Summary Warm mix asphalt is classified when the asphalt is produced at temperature between 240°F - 275°F. There are three forms of technology utilized today when producing warm mix asphalt; organic addictive or wax, chemical addictive, and water injection foaming. The expansion of...

Project Summary The purpose of the Suncache demonstration project was to evaluate in-situ performance of SunCache solar water heating systems in residential applications. A SunCache solar collector (or an array of collectors) was installed at two multi-family residential sites and six...

The electrode-less HID light source is a new class of solid-state plasma light source that combines the best features of solid-state electronics and full spectrum plasma emitters. Results are long life, energy efficiency and a complete color spectrum for general and specialty lighting applications....

This is a joint effort between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Sempra Utilities, and Southern California Edison to incorporate energy efficiency measures for data centers to be used in computer building...

This project is aimed at evaluating Bi-level Hybrid Fluorescent LED Lighting for Stairwells and Covered Parking as an energy efficiency measure. The project will field test fixtures to determine the potential for energy...

Conventional die casting machines do not have variable speed drives on motors for changing pressures for hydraulic pumps. The VSD can control the speed of motors to open, close, and clamp the molds during casting. When the mold is clamped, a mechanical system (such as latch) provides the holding...
