The goal of the project was to determine the energy savings potential provided by LED bollard lighting as compared to high intensity discharge (HID) base case for outdoor area lighting applications, especially pathways. This demonstration project validated that properly designed LED bollards can...

This project partnered with ACE Hardware’s Distribution Center located in Rocklin, CA and tested the integration of High Bay Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting fixtures with integrated sensors and an aggressive Advanced Lighting Control System (ALCS) to realize the deepest energy savings possible...

The primary goal of this project was to develop a complete, standardized auditing procedure that PG&E field representatives, consultants, or water agencies themselves could perform on municipal water systems. The procedure was to be a simple audit, requiring limited time, measurements, and...

The Gas Technology Institute proposed and executed this 36‐month research program of closely linked projects to help facilitate the overall goal of reducing natural gas consumption for residential water heating in California. Using guidance from the Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy...

The goal of this project was to evaluate the economic and technical viability of a comprehensive LED retrofit for all major fixture applications within a Fry’s Electronics store in Northern California. This includes general service fluorescent lighting, general service incandescent lighting,...

This study evaluated the performance of an installation of Light Emitting Plasma fixtures on 80’ lighting poles, with twelve fixtures per pole, at a study site in Northern California. Results of the LEP performance are compared to the performance of an existing installation of HPS lighting...

A number of Energy Management and Information System (EMIS) software products designed for commercial buildings offer advanced functionality whereby energy savings is estimated by comparing pre-and post-installation energy use baselines determined through empirical modeling using interval meter and...

Steamers, or steam cookers, are cooking appliances wherein heat is imparted to food in a closed compartment by direct contact with steam. The compartment can be at or above atmospheric pressure. The steam can be static or circulated. This project assesses the energy efficiency level of the...
