Evaporatively cools incoming condenser air of air-cooled HVAC equipment. The purpose of this project is to test the feasibility of installing a technology on existing rooftop AC units that lowers the incoming condenser air temperature. The technology uses water evaporation to accomplish this air...

This project will assess phase change materials (PCMs) in single-wide mobile homes. The test will consist of three test homes: a control (no PCM), PCM in walls, and PCM in the ceiling. Results will inform energy performance potential of...

Cook and Hold ovens are commercial kitchen equipment used to cook food product at low temperatures, followed by a holding period at a specified temperature. Currently, no ASTM standard test procedure exists for cook and hold ovens. A standard has been drafted but needs to be vetted in a laboratory...

This project is to assess the performance of a LED and photo luminescent hybrid exit sign that uses a 0.5W LED to power a Photoluminescent sign face. The project will evaluate power usage to calculate potential savings as compared to standard LED exit...

This project is intended to finalize development of the CALCTP training and implement courses to introduce the level of understanding needed to install advanced lighting technologies into the market. Provide an administrator of the CALCTP to perform the day-to-day operations of the training program...

This project, a part of EPRI Subproject G, is selecting and testing a sample of these technologies, both in the lab and in the field, to determine the ability of these technologies to meet SCE’s demand-reduction...

Project SummaryA heat pump water heater (HPWH) offers a considerable opportunity for energy and demand savings over a conventional electric water heater. This report examines HPWHs for commercial applications by evaluating the performance of a HPWH installed in a condominium...

Project Summary SoCalGas ETP has conducted a series of home tests for residential hot water recirculator “comfort systems.” The results show water savings for all products, but gas savings will depend on user’s behavior.  Results should be applicable to electric water heaters, too. DIY...

The main purpose of this study is to analyze and identify existing end-use loads that are sizeable enough and flexible enough to help address operational and planning needs and to determine if these loads can be managed through existing programs or, if not, through modified and new...

This assessment implemented and evaluates the costs and conversion challenges associated with transitioning from OpenADR 1.0 to 2.0 in various sites that already use OpenADR 1.0 to participate in PG&E automated demand response (AutoDR)...
