As part of EPIC GFO 16-304/EPC-17-008 Center for Sustainable Energy along with their project partners will design and demonstrate the impact of an integrated suite of energy efficiency technologies in an existing Big Box retail store. The technologies include lighting upgrades, HVAC/refrigeration...

120V HPWH products are completing lab (UL) testing at this time and are expected to be available for field testing in Q1 2021. A field study of 8 units in SCE service area using 120V products will enhance the understanding of how the products perform and how they can be deployed. This field study...

The project will consist of an assessment of energy and non-energy impacts of moderate-low GWP refrigeration design on three newly constructed supermarkets. Each of the supermarkets will be newly opened and operating as of August 2020 with low-GWP (less than 150) and moderate-GWP systems (less than...

The project will consist of an assessment of energy and non-energy impacts of low-GWP retrofits on three supermarkets. Each of the three supermarkets are scheduled to upgrade their existing systems, replacing traditional HFC refrigerants with low-GWP (less than 150)  and reduced charge moderate-GWP...

The proposed project is an extension of an existing SCE EP project being implemented that is designed to enhance grid reliability, replace high GWP refrigerants with ammonia and/or carbon dioxide, improve efficiency, process optimization, and achieve decarbonization goals at a large bakery site....

This project evaluates the performance of a production prototype residential three-function heat pump (TFHP) system. TFHPs are called “three function” systems as they utilize a single compressor to serve indoor heating, indoor cooling, and domestic hot water loads. The system evaluated in this...

The California Air Resources Board and Southern California Edison recognized the need for robust primary research among key decision-makers to help California achieve the state’s ambitious climate goals – specifically through the adoption of zero-emission appliances such as heat pump water heaters,...

This Demand Response Emerging Technology (DRET) Voice Automation demonstration project (pilot) leveraged residential voice-assistant technology (i.e., Amazon’s Alexa smart speaker) as well as cellular telephone app functionality to engage with and educate residential customers on energy usage, bill...
