Project SummaryThe first phase of an evaporative cooler technology evaluation project conducted 2003 tested the performance of advanced evaporative coolers (AECs) that used 8 inch thick rigid media. The results showed that advanced coolers are 68-70% more efficient than conventional coolers....

Project SummaryThis scoping study builds on the multi-agency Integrated Design Charrette for energy efficient data centers that took place February 2-3, 2003 at the Pacific Energy Center. Scoping work will focus on the areas of uninterrupted power supply (UPS), high efficiency cooling strategies,...

Project SummaryThe purpose of this project is to evaluate and compare the performance of two types of advanced evaporative coolers to the traditional evaporative cooler. The results will allow validation of energy savings and other manufacturer performance information. For more information, please...

Project Summary:Demonstrate and assess energy and demand savings impacts of the following technologies and design strategies at three sites in northern and central California: -Variable air volume (VAV) for exhaust hoods, including applicable controls, -Makeup introduced through backwall supply...

Project Summary:The current project uses 100% uplight luminaires installed with dimming ballasts and 5000K lamps. Users have the ability to adjust the lighting levels to match their own preference. Dimmed levels and energy usage are metered for individual users and compared to individual users...

There is a behavioral water and energy efficiency solution that will help reduce household carbon emissions and water use at scale. The device is an easy at home DIY retrofit to promote water conservation and improve shower habits. The technology automatically detects when a shower starts, and...

Wireless steam trap monitoring technology specifically focuses on steam trap systems within the commercial and industrial sectors. This field study aims to monitor steam traps at a site, demonstrating their significant impact on energy savings and efficiency improvements. The primary objectives of...

This project is a field study of a Gas Absorption Heat Pump (GAHP) water heater. The GAHP is a gas-fired technology with a technology readiness level (TRL) of 9. This project falls into phase 2F (field study phase) of a multi-phase field study pilot project for GAHP water heaters & combination...

The scope of this project is to interview five (5) subject matter experts (SMEs) to gain early feedback on CFS measures without incentives or measure packages and barriers to their implementation. Barriers could include: not enough difference between efficient an non-efficient equipment, high...

The main objective of this project is to install a CarbinX unit at a pool heater boiler at a hotel in Los Angeles and test and quantify the carbon dioxide emissions reduction, fuel savings, waste heat recovered, and energy savings. The CarbinX unit will also operate as a Direct Air Capture (DAC)...
