Conduct a market study, an adjunct to a main study, within SCE service territory to understand significant developments and trends in the Connected Home market by investigating consumer and manufacturers attitudes towards residential energy management in a connected home. A connected home can...

This field study evaluated the demand response (DR) capability of advanced lighting control systems (ALCS) acting on backlit menu boards. Four types of ALCS were installed in five fast food restaurants. The ALCSs were from Daintree Networks, Enlighted, Acuity nLight, and WattStopper. Two sites used...

This study conducted field measurements to evaluate the Demand Response (DR) capabilities of four different advanced lighting controls systems (ALCS). This evaluation specifically relates to Light Emitting Diode (LED) interior lighting in fast food restaurants. The main objectives of the project...

This project was created to develop the National Advanced Lighting Controls and Certification (NALCAC) program. The NALCAC program is being designed to provide significant increases in energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR) capabilities in the lighting and advanced controls systems that...

The goal of this Feasibility Study is to review existing California utility-specific software offerings and EnergyPlus tools currently in place or planned, as well as to ascertain what will be required to adapt the EnergyPlus tools for utilization by utility incentive programs. Additional...

In response to major electrical grid failures over the past few decades, coupled with the emergence of widespread renewable generation and increased need for understanding energy consumption, there has been a growing push for an electric “Smart Grid”. The Smart Grid is envisioned to...

The Link between Energy Management and Demand Response (DR) study seeks to determine if the process of developing and maintaining an energy management system (EnMS) improves an industrial facility’s capabilities for DR. An EnMS is a set of procedures, documents, and records designed to help...

This Demand Response report looks at DR automation tools including; training, education, and load-analysis tools to coordinate power reduction...

This project aims to identify tools that can be used by commercial and industrial customers to better understand their facility’s demand profile and assist in decision making for DR program participation. This report summarizes the known characteristics and capabilities of existing DR tools....
