To conduct a laboratory test in order to determine the potential energy savings of occupancy counting switch in lieu of conventional devices such as timer switch, or Pyroelectric InfraRed (PIR) and ultrasonic type occupancy sensors. The conventional technology uses occupancy sensors with switching...

Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology offers energy savings potentials and performance over incandescent and Compact Fluorescent (CFL) technologies. There are regulatory pressures to promote the use of LEDs, however LED lighting technologies rely on the use of electronic power supplies or...

This project is intended to begin the process of creating a certification training course for lighting planners and designers. Designed a core rationale, process and expectations on the development of the curriculum and initiate lessons'...

Bi-level stairwell lighting is an underutilized technology that uses occupancy sensors to switch between higher light output (when the space is occupied) and lower light output (when the space is unoccupied) to save energy. The purpose of this testing is to validate the performance of a new...

LED street lighting technology has made significant advancements as it continues to emerge. Currently the technology has reach a level of advancement which has made it competitive with incumbent technologies. This project is demonstrating LED street light technology through field placing fixtures...

Commercial customers that want to minimize their monthly peak demand and maximize the benefit they receive from participating in Demand Response (DR) programs need accurate predictions of their future (e.g. day ahead or longer) demand profiles and guidance on how to maximize their demand shed and...

This project analyzed the charging patterns of commercially-sited PEV charging in order to determine if commercial PEV charging has the potential of being used as a reliable DR...

This project is part of a larger Southern California Edison (SCE) effort to evaluate Demand Response (DR) capabilities of various residential appliances in a laboratory environment. Several manufacturers have recently developed DR-capable appliances, but little is known about how DR capabilities...

Billboards are outdoor signs typically large in size (14 feet by 48 feet to as large as 20 feet by 60 feet) and located along highways and busy surface streets. Traditional or “static” signs are comprised of paper panels lit at night with HID, fluorescent, or LED flood lamps. Digital...

This report summarizes EM&T efforts at Southern California Edison from July 2014 through December 2014. It lists reports that were:- Completed- Initiated- Works still in progressAnd includes a detailed status for each DR...
