The LED Refrigerated/Freezer Case Lighting Demonstration project studied the applicability of light-emitting-diode (LED) lamps used to provide display case lighting in the supermarket sector. T8 fluorescent lamp systems were replaced with new LED linear light bar systems at the retail supermarket...

The LED High Bay Lighting Demonstration project studied the applicability of light-emitting-diode (LED) lamps replacing metal halide (MH) high intensity discharge (HID) to provide adequate lighting for warehouse and storage facilities. MH HID fixtures were replaced with new LED high bay fixtures at...

The linear LED Jewelry Case Lighting Demonstration project studied the applicability of LED fixtures in a jewelry display case installation. Pin based halogen lighting systems were replaced with new linear LED light bar fixtures in 14 jewelry cases located at Charles Koll Jewelers in San Diego....

Project SummaryHotel guest room energy management control systems are widely used throughout the world, but currently have limited acceptance in the United States.  An increased market penetration of such systems could significantly reduce hotel energy use.The objective of this study is to...

Traditionally hood exhaust in commercial kitchens are tied to a make-up air unit which balances building pressure during the kitchen operation. Generally, this hood is on at full speed for entire daily operation of the foodservice facility, which range from 18 to 24 hours per day. The concept of...

Project Summary In recent years, water utilities have benefited greatly from the adoption of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems to improve process quality and reliability. Though SCADA systems also can improve energy efficiency, most water utilities currently do not use...

Project SummaryThis project evaluates the feasibility of sewage treatment plants (STPs) with flows greater than 1 million gallons per day to participate in demand response (DR) programs. DR strategies applicable to the municipal wastewater treatment industry were identified and 10 STP site audits...

Project SummaryThis project evaluates the efficacy of new Automated Demand Response (AutoDR) technology to enhance two-way data exchange before, during, and after a demand response (DR) event. These AutoDR technologies focus on large commercial and industrial customers.  The two-way data...

This project identifies demand response (DR) enabling technologies and communication infrastructures to deliver low-cost, AutoDR capabilities to small commercial customers based on demand reduction as a percentage of the total building’s predicted peak demand.Download project...

Project SummaryThis project assesses the demand response (DR) capability of addressable power strip devices that monitor and control plug loads. This assessment focuses on the ability of residential and small commercial customers to participate in DR...
