Heat recovery ventilator (HRV) technology was evaluated as part of an EPRI research project funded by the California Energy Commission, titled the “Development and Testing of the Next[1]Generation Residential Space Conditioning system for California” [CEC EPC-14-021 project]. As part of the...

Automated Demand Response-Enabled Solution Development and Deployment for HVAC...

The purpose of this project was to evaluate the impact of low refrigerant levels on the cooling and heating seasonal energy performance of variable capacity heat pump (VCHP) systems operating in California homes.Prior studies have found that incorrect refrigerant levels are common in field...

The goal of this project is to assess the energy and demand savings resulting from a solar assisted direct expansion (DX) system.  A field test was conducted in a 1,600 sq. ft. single-story residential home located within SDG&E territory. In this test, an emerging technology that consists...

SUMMARYThe goal of this Emerging Technologies study was to determine the load shifting potential of salt-water ice thermal energy storage systems installed as a retrofit on an existing grocery store refrigeration system.This report presents findings from the field test of a new refrigeration ice...

This study builds on SCE’s recent research and analyses on the subject that looks beyond the largest agencies and common strategies to assess technical DR opportunities, strategies, and program offerings that can be useful to a broader set of agency sizes and treatment plant configurations....

The goal of this project is to conduct a field test to evaluate viable measures that could provide energy efficiency and demand response capabilities in the individual residential units and possibly in the entire residential complex as a...

This Project proposes to demonstrate the benefits of the installation of a wastewater treatment system designed to reduce the amount of energy and water consumed at a dairy. The demonstration results will identify pumping energy reduction, water savings, reduced water intake from wells through the...

This project is a market study aimed at providing insight into the opportunities for reducing GHG emissions for Commercial Buildings by identifying new technologies to support the electrification of buildings. These technologies have an impact on the energy use and efficiency of a building in which...

Manually controlling Demand of HVAC and other associated loads is labor and time intensive, involving the manual adjustment of several controls spread out of these facilities. Furthermore, participation in, “day ahead”, demand response programs provides challenges in this type of facility and...
