Retrofit of three existing recreational facilities on a University campus to ZNE or near ZNE. Through the Demonstration Showcase project process the aim is to assist in addressing cost, installation, and performance issues as well as aid in the discovery of other potential barriers that could...

This project will demonstrate the concept of displaying smart meter information through a compliant set top box (STB). Real time information such as kWh usage will be relayed from an end point smart meter to a multiaccess gateway and will be recorded for reporting purposes. The gateway or a...

The Project is to evaluate the market readiness of manufacturers and installers in supporting the energy savings and ventilation system benefits. The DCV project will perform product testing of multiple suppliers at various market segments to identify any additional technology updates for incentive...

This project involves research into current commercially available and upcoming home and building energy management systems products with network connectivity, Energy Efficiency, Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) and Demand Response (DR) support functionality. Information about currently...

Retrofit to packaged RTU that cycles supply fan on/off when there's no call for cooling/heating. Technology adjusts outside air damper to maintain average CFM above code minimum. Field test on two RTUs retrofitted with the technology will be undertaken to validate the...

Identify opportunities for energy efficiency in dairy farms. The focus is on alternative methods to fans and soakers to cool dairy cows. Cooling technologies investigated will include hydronic heat exchangers embedded beneath free stall beds and water source heat pumps. Other areas to be...

SCE will document the process of achieving the statewide goal of ZNE through a hands-on, engaged and collaborative approach. Primary goals of the project include increasing market exposure of already-proven EE/DR/DG/ES technologies and addressing market barriers to ZNE in support of CA's Strategic...

The Solar Decathlon is a DOE-sponsored international competition which challenges collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar powered houses that are cost-effective and energy-efficient. These competition homes are highly visible and typically see more than a quarter of a million visitors....

This project is intended to begin the process of creating a certification training course for architects, designers and specifiers of lighting control systems.
