This study was a continuation of the Central Valley Research Homes (CVRH) project which began in 2012. The CVRH project converted four existing single family buildings in Stockton, California into unoccupied laboratory houses for the purpose of evaluating energy savings associated with improvements...

San Diego Gas & Electric's Emerging Technologies (ET) program performed a measurement & verification (M&V) study of Phase Change Material (PCM) for commercial customers. PCM was studied in a high school classroom setting. This high school is located in climate zone 10 with the...

The goal of this project is to design and develop the CalPlug SIM Home, an expansion of the current CalPlug's SIM Labs, to address the modern networked home. The CalPlug SIM Labs methodology, which focuses on entertainment appliances, will serve as a launch pad and standard baseline to create the...

Horizontal drain water heat recovery (H-DWHR) devices are products designed to recover heat from heated drain water and transfer it to potable cold water entering a building. They are counter-flow heat exchangers, similar to previously studied vertical drain water heat recovery (V-DWHR) devices,...

This field study is evaluating the potential and current DR capabilities of climate-appropriate air-conditioning (AC) systems, such as evaporative cooling and variable capacity heat pump systems. Targeted DR and EE programs can help reduce high peak demand caused by increased AC use and address...

This field study is evaluating the potential of variable capacity heat pump (VCHP) systems that have the ability to use smart integrated controls, variable-speed drives, refrigerant piping, and heat recovery. This provides products that can be controlled by a smart thermostat with such attributes...

Evaluate energy management tool for campus, impacts of commissioning, interaction with grid and available distributed energy sources, and micro-grid...

Areas of Focus developed through EM&T DR Planning & Tactic study, and will help develop EM&T's Energy Storage Technology Road...

The objective of this pilot is to evaluate various over-generation mitigation strategies for water district applications. The pilot will help to determine what technologies and strategies will provide the most cost effective method of increasing useful load during Over-Generation events. This...
