This report summarizes the fourth phase of an LED street lighting assessment project conducted to study the applicability of LED luminaries in a in a street lighting application.  In Phase II, conducted in Fall 2007, fifteen 78-watt LED luminaries replaced a like number of 121-watt...

Project SummaryThis project optimizes the Demand Response Quick Assessment Tool (DRQAT), a building energy simulation software tool used to model demand response (DR) events within large commercial buildings. The accuracy of the models, within the software tool, was improved by comparing simulation...

Project SummaryThis project enhances a demand response (DR) evaluation tool for use by SCE in promoting DR programs and calculating future utility rates, such as critical peak pricing (CPP) and time of use (TOU), to small commercial building...

Project SummaryThe objective of this multi-phase project is to identify and demonstrate battery energy storage (BES) and communications technologies that enable small to mid-sized industrial and commercial customers to implement demand response (DR) strategies and thus increase their participation...

Project SummaryThis project evaluates innovative controls and strategies that allow commercial customers to participate in demand response (DR) programs by shedding load from ice machines. Field tests were conducted at several customers’ sites to understand deployment challenges and customer...

Project SummaryThis study evaluates both the energy efficiency and demand response capability of three, off-the-shelf, advanced lighting control systems (ALCS). The project has these objectives: 1) Determine if these advanced lighting control systems allow for reliable remote control of the...

This report summarizes an assessment project conducted to study the performance of light emitting diode (LED) luminaires with network controls in a street lighting application. The project included installation of LED street lights with network controls on public roadways in San Jose,...

Project SummeryThis report summarizes the installation and assessment of an integrated lighting control system consisting of occupancy sensors, photo sensors, dimming ballast, reduction of ambient overhead lighting and the installation of LED task lighting at a stand alone two story office building...

Project SummaryThis report summarizes the installation and assessment of an integrated "task ambient" lighting system combined with a reduction of ambient overhead lighting and increase in task lighting, at a multi-story commercial office building in Northern California. Relying primarily on field...
