Bi-level and demand response (DR) capabilities will be demonstrated in corridor lighting for commercial and institutional market sectors through the use of step-dimming and/or full-dimming ballasts combined with occupancy sensors and DR controls in retrofit applications. The objective of the Smart...

This project will assess a new closed loop induction holding well system against a baseline water-based, open loop system. The purpose of this project is to validate energy savings of the new measure to develop a customized solution...

Compressed air systems are common in most industrial facilities in California. They use considerably more energy and are very inefficient when they are applied to some industrial processes that blowers can perform. The scope of this project is to replace/modify existing compressed-air to blowers...

This field evaluation tests the feasibility of integral PIR occupancy sensors coupled to LED exterior (structure and pole mtd) luminaires for dusk-dawn...

The blower power depends upon three variables: flow rate; pressure, and efficiency. The design of an energy efficient blower depends upon two main factors: shape of impeller and shape of blower housing that minimize pressure losses. The conventional blower’s (i.e., incumbent technology) efficiency...

Occupancy-controlled luminaires have proven to have significant energy-saving potential in exterior applications such as residences, parking garages, parking lots, and pedestrian walkways. As a result, California utilities are deploying this approach throughout their service territories. To be able...

Laboratory evaluation of hot food holding cabinets using ASTM test standards to develop data set for work paper...

Field test of microwave steamers replacing steamer kettles at large chain quick service...

The purpose of the project is to verify the performance and efficiency of a 5-ton indirect evaporative hybrid roof top air-conditioning unit developed primarily for the small commercial market...

Steamers, or steam cookers, are cooking appliances wherein heat is imparted to food in a closed compartment by direct contact with steam. The compartment can be at or above atmospheric pressure. The steam can be static or circulated. The purpose of this test is to use ASTM standard test methods to...
