SCE research has been to pursue various research and technology assessments to garner insight on EE opportunities and the reduction of potential GRID impacts related to the growing markets of Indoor Horticulture/Agriculture.  The project will access that all technologies within an indoor cannabis...

The Advanced Heat Pump Coalition is a group of utility and energy efficiency interested parties that has agreed to share knowledge and align efforts to have biggest impact on HVAC industry efforts that help utilities accelerate market adoption of residential heat pumps. The Advanced Heat Pump...

Develop, test and demonstrate an advanced zero GWP space conditioning system for multi-family or small commercial applications that is based on a reversible ammonia (NH3) heat pump with carbon dioxide (CO2) distribution, for space heating and cooling applications. A prototype of this technology,...

A large majority of industrial facilities in California generate heat as part of their manufacturing processes. Much of this heat is rejected into the environment at varying temperatures above the ambient levels.   This project will demonstrate and evaluate the integration of waste heat...

In response to COVID-19, commercial customers are seeking methods to safely return occupants to their buildings. This lab study will provide efficacy of several in-room light-based disinfection...

The project's primary goal will be to demonstrate technical and economic feasibility of all electric ZNE homes. It will also look at integrating ZNE homes into the electric grid. This project will demonstrate ZNE solutions within the multifamily category. The outcomes from this project will provide...

KEY RESEARCH QUESTION How might dynamic pricing effectively reduce grid congestion via automated demand response? What enhancements and innovation ideation to current customer technologies are needed to bring widespread implementation of dynamic pricing, particularly in Southern California...

The behind-the-meter (BTM) battery systems will be administered by Sunrun® and used to provide planned and real-time demand response grid services. The VPP project will enroll 200-500 customers in the project from a population of approximately 1,000 customers with existing or new Sunrun PV-paired...

HPWH Flexible DR Communication Demonstration Lab for Water Heating...

The objective of this project is to evaluate the performance in the laboratory of two small wall-mounted Heat Pump Water Heaters from Europe and their ability to provide hot water in a more efficient manner and with lower total emissions. The HPWHs are commercially available in Europe,...
