The project will identify current design standards and move the industry towards producing more energy efficient signs. Host a series of industry meetings as well as conducting a number of market studies specifically designed to provide information on the lighting technologies used and the quantity...

This project performed a field test for a screw-in medium base socket to replace a 60W incandescent. In conjunction with rigorous laboratory testing by the DOE and field-testing in various markets by utility and energy efficiency partners, the lamps were tested, installed, and...

Measure energy saved when a VSD is added to a car vacuum cleaning system at a full service car wash. VSD control allows the vacuum motor to change speed to match needed vacuum pressure and air...

This study characterizes the lighting performance of bi-level ceramic metal halide (CMH) area lighting fixtures for substation uplight duty, and quantifies the energy savings potential when compared to conventional pulse start metal halide (PSMH) area fixtures. This market subset of the general...

Determine which industries are most likely to have companies that use compressed air in situations where air blowers could be sufficient; Determine the potential interest in converting to air blowers for those particular situations within each industry; Determine potential market barriers (price,...

This laboratory evaluation is aimed at understanding the performance of LED A-19 replacement lamps. The lamps will be tested for light output, color consistency, energy use and overall...

Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Emerging Technologies Program (ETP) is seeking to collaborate with Homebuilders to implement Integrated Demand Side Management (IDSM) solutions in Zero Net Energy (ZNE) or near-ZNE model homes. The goal of this Demonstration Showcase initiative was to identify...

This project was developed to better understand how multiple integrated demand side management (IDSM) measures will impact a building demand profile, and ultimately the electrical grid. This report details the findings on how energy efficiency (EE), demand response (DR), distributed energy...

This project had two primary goals: - To examine the performance characteristics of highly controlled lighting systems in a real office environment in terms of comparison to applicable codes, and -To evaluate the ability of the OTF Consortium framework to deliver a highly controlled solution...

Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning is a popular method of heating and cooling in many countries. Though the product has been on the market for over 20 years, only recently was it introduced to the United States market. Because of its perceived energy efficiency (EE), there is growing...
