Scaled field placement evaluates the electrical and thermal savings for DCKV when combined with building EMS systems in order to provide work-paper updates and inform new measures. Further evaluates opportunities for chains and SMBs using a tiered pricing...

The primary objective of this project was to provide unbiased, technically sound information about the performance of ‘advanced blinds and shades’ products in a field assessment. Three types of advanced blinds/shades technologies were tested in this study: automated top-down shades, manual...

This report is the second phase of a technical analysis that evaluates the savings potential of ‘advanced window film’ products that may offer improved energy performance relative to traditional tint films. This phase consisted of field installation of advanced films and on-site monitoring or...

Scaled placement of Advanced Lighting Controls platform and 2x4 LED panels. PG&E had a unique opportunity to verify the energy efficiency potential for two similar floors of a large office building where one floor kept the T-8 3-lamp fluorescent fixtures and the second floor replaced them with 2x4...

Sacred Heart Schools completed construction of its Stevens Library for lower and middle school students in August 2012. The library is a 6,300 ft2 all-electric building. It was designed and constructed to achieve Zero Net Energy (ZNE) performance--based on total site energy), to meet the Living...

The objective of this project was to develop a functionality testing procedure for residential smart thermostat devices, in support of an energy efficiency and demand response residential smart thermostat rebate program, in the planning stages at the time of this writing. This testing procedure...

Sweetwater Spectrum, a planned community of four single-story residences and a community center located in Sonoma, CA, is designed to serve adults with autism spectrum disorders. The project was initiated as one of several zero net energy demonstrations and provided the opportunity to evaluate...

This report is the second phase of a technical assessment evaluating retrofit technologies for existing SMB Packaged HVAC applications. Phase I of this project, completed in 2012, consisted of a market assessment and selection of technologies for field study. Phase II of this project consisted of...

The project determines energy and cost savings, particularly during idle periods, as a result of replacing existing, un-lidded char-broilers with lidded char-broilers with thermostatic controls. The project monitors energy consumption, operating conditions, and hours of operation at three sites,...

Collects energy savings, incremental costs, feasibility, conflict with other building practices for one of the measures under consideration for the 2016 T-24 standards: R-25 walls. Key problems solved: example moderate cost methods of achieving objectives, identifying and avoiding unintended...
