This project partnered with ACE Hardware’s Distribution Center located in Rocklin, CA and tested the integration of High Bay Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting fixtures with integrated sensors and an aggressive Advanced Lighting Control System (ALCS) to realize the deepest energy savings possible...

The primary goal of this project was to develop a complete, standardized auditing procedure that PG&E field representatives, consultants, or water agencies themselves could perform on municipal water systems. The procedure was to be a simple audit, requiring limited time, measurements, and...

The Gas Technology Institute proposed and executed this 36‐month research program of closely linked projects to help facilitate the overall goal of reducing natural gas consumption for residential water heating in California. Using guidance from the Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy...

The goal of this project was to evaluate the economic and technical viability of a comprehensive LED retrofit for all major fixture applications within a Fry’s Electronics store in Northern California. This includes general service fluorescent lighting, general service incandescent lighting,...

This study evaluated the performance of an installation of Light Emitting Plasma fixtures on 80’ lighting poles, with twelve fixtures per pole, at a study site in Northern California. Results of the LEP performance are compared to the performance of an existing installation of HPS lighting...

A number of Energy Management and Information System (EMIS) software products designed for commercial buildings offer advanced functionality whereby energy savings is estimated by comparing pre-and post-installation energy use baselines determined through empirical modeling using interval meter and...

The goal of this study is to develop and apply a method for providing a high-resolution characterization of the spatial and temporal variability of energy intensity in the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) water system. The water sector is an emerging target for energy efficiency (EE)...

This report presents a number of new supporting controls technologies that have the potential to enable new energy-saving functionalities in buildings. However, not finding any appropriate existing tools to estimate energy savings, the Consultant developed streamlined methods that can be used to...

The goal of this project was to compare the capital costs of a Geothermal Central Utility Plant (CUP) to a Conventional CUP, estimate the energy cost savings, and determine the simple payback at a correctional facility development project in San Mateo County, California. This study was conducted to...

A grocery store customer within PG&E territory installed Anti-fog film on the inside glass of a five-door frozen food display case and the door anti-sweat heat was disabled on the doors of the display case. PECI analyzed actual energy consumption for three weeks before and three weeks after the...
