This report describes the key economic costs and benefits, as well as emissions avoided, of a Title 24 code change requiring zero emissions cooking equipment in new residential single- and multi-family homes. This research forecasts the costs and benefits of a 2022 intervening code change, which...

This study evaluated the performance of unitary heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) operating in a shared configuration (each unit served four apartments) in an affordable all-electric multi-family project located in Davis, CA. The shared configuration allowed the HPWHs to be placed in close proximity...

The SCE’s Technology Test Centers (TTC) evaluate a variety of technologies in controlled environments that mirror real-world conditions and customer experiences. This generates comprehensive performance data and innovative test methods which are used by SCE customers, policymakers, and utility...

The aim of this sub-project is to collect data on electricity consumed by equipment in newly-constructed homes that are either required by health and safety codes or are considered necessary to make the house attractive to buyers. This aspect of residential energy use has not been studied but...

Emerging technology evaluation of refrigerated display case shelf edge guiding vanes. This technology is applicable to all users of open medium temperature refrigerated display cases. Sectors include supermarkets, and convenience stores. Any cold merchandising that utilize an open display case...

This project’s goals are to test optimization of connected thermostats and other loads via voice commands based on TOU rate peak times and customer preferences. Voice interactions related to energy (usage, estimated bills, best times to use appliances, etc.) will undergo evaluation to determine...

"Battery energy storage systems work by capturing electricity produced by both renewable and nonrenewable resources and storing it for discharge when required. The solution allows users to come off the grid and switch to stored electricity, at a time most beneficial, giving greater flexibility and...

Perform measurement and verification of NanO2 aeration technology to reduce wastewater treatment plant blower load while eliminating sewer system odor and...

Evaluation of solar thermal system integrated with campus central plant hot water loop.  Target temperature for the supplemental solar thermal array is 160'F and will eliminate most of the existing heat provided by the boilers and the central plant. CSUDH is part of the CEOP pilot to minimize GHG...
