An occupancy-based guestroom energy management system senses when a hotel room is occupied and adjusts the energy systems—such as HVAC, lighting, and outlets—accordingly to save...

The cement plants produce significant amount of high grade (> 1,000 deg. F) waste heat as part of cement making process. This waste heat can be captured to produce electric or mechanical power to permanently offset plant electric energy/demand with the application of certain technologies/systems....

Small walk-in coolers and freezers are used by many commercial retailers including supermarkets, mass merchants, c-stores, drug stores and dollar stores. The use of HFOs has a potential for energy and demand savings, and allows the use of existing of...

This devices refrigeration technology utilizes water in an ionic, time delayed, freeze-point suppression cycle to provide -35C cooling to freezer environments while consuming 45% less electricity than conventional vapor compression systems. Incorporating embedded energy storage tailored...

This task will encompass applying an industry-accepted standard test method to up to five different models of refrigerated preparation tables to support the development of a refrigerated preparation table database. Once populated, the database will be used to support a new program offering to...

This project will encompass applying an ASTM standard lab test method to up to five different models of soft serve ice cream freezers to support the development of an equipment database. Once populated, the database will be used to support workpaper...

PG&E is interested in designing new incentive structures for standards based Automated Demand Response (ADR) control technologies. Specifically:PG&E is interested in working with ADR vendors to explore different approaches to developing new channels through which third parties can provide...

Perform a feasibility study and explore design options for an adsorbent heat and mass exchanger. The scope includes: evaluate the amount of moisture available in a year-long period using TMY data, develop a one-dimensional heat and mass exchange model using data on the performance of its adsorbent...

Run various simulations using a residential building model to determine water flow rates (from a fluid cooler) and air flow rates (from a residential air hander) required to meet cooling demand for single family residential home in climate zones in SCE territory. Design a condenser replacement...

This project involves a remote evaporative condenser retrofit for connection to packaged AC units. This technology replaces the packaged AC unit's air-cooled condenser with a separate, evaporatively-cooled condenser. One condenser can serve up to two AC units. This is a continuation of project...
