This project will be performing “proof of concept” testing of a controls system, that claims the ability to provide tuning, scheduling, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and individual controls for the lighting system being...

Online Integrated Demand Side Management service that incents consumers to conserve energy by leveraging social networks and social gaming. The internet-based platform enables social gaming (and other internet-based) companies to gain new revenue streams by trading their in-game currency for...

Bi-level and demand response (DR) capabilities will be demonstrated in corridor lighting for commercial and institutional market sectors through the use of step-dimming and/or full-dimming ballasts combined with occupancy sensors and DR controls in retrofit applications. The objective of the Smart...

This project will assess a new closed loop induction holding well system against a baseline water-based, open loop system. The purpose of this project is to validate energy savings of the new measure to develop a customized solution...

Compressed air systems are common in most industrial facilities in California. They use considerably more energy and are very inefficient when they are applied to some industrial processes that blowers can perform. The scope of this project is to replace/modify existing compressed-air to blowers...

This field evaluation tests the feasibility of integral PIR occupancy sensors coupled to LED exterior (structure and pole mtd) luminaires for dusk-dawn...

The blower power depends upon three variables: flow rate; pressure, and efficiency. The design of an energy efficient blower depends upon two main factors: shape of impeller and shape of blower housing that minimize pressure losses. The conventional blower’s (i.e., incumbent technology) efficiency...

Occupancy-controlled luminaires have proven to have significant energy-saving potential in exterior applications such as residences, parking garages, parking lots, and pedestrian walkways. As a result, California utilities are deploying this approach throughout their service territories. To be able...
