An indoor (unconditioned warehouse space) performance, energy savings, and reliability study of electronic dimmable metal halide (EDB)(CMH and psmh) ballasts. Laboratory testing of a matrix of lamp manufacturers/sizes and ballasts. Data on photo metrics, energy savings and detected failures for...

SCE conducted a two-pronged research study including a web survey among residential customers and twelve in-depth telephone interviews among industry decision-makers and thought-leaders. SCE’s study leveraged the broader, national effort performed by the Continental Automated Building...

This report evaluates the lighting Demand Response (DR) technology installed at the Natural Sciences Building on the University of California, Irvine (UCI) campus. The DR study was conducted by Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Design and Engineering Services...

This report evaluates the lighting Demand Response (DR) technology installed at the Landmark Square office building in Long Beach, CA. The DR study is managed by Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Design and Engineering Services group and is part of the Smart Corridor and Stairwell study....

The study investigates the current state of the residential sector through a literature search and review.The study’s Phase 1 evaluates available literature to determine if residential lighting and plug loads coincide with projected peak demand, and to determine the potential for customer...

This project sets out to develop building standards for SCE’s facilities that would ensure the inclusion of cost effective EE and DR measures and strategies. The goal is to identify and engage stakeholders, develop methodology, and ultimately develop recommended packages. However, due to...

A small-scale market study was conducted to evaluate DR pilot credit implementation. The goal of this study is to understand if, and how, building owners, engineers, and consultants would take advantage of such a credit, and then provide feedback to utilities and the USGBC. As part of the USGBC...

Incorporating Demand Response (DR) capability at the building design stage not only optimizes the equipment and control system and increases the building operation effectiveness; it also avoids costs associated with retrofitting and implementing DR. This guide is aimed at providing information...

This project seeks to assess the functionality of two demand response (DR) assessment tools by gathering comments and feedback from Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Field Engineering group and other stakeholders regarding their field trial and evaluation of the tools. The project aims to...

This report presents the findings of a study conducted to understand residential and commercial customers’ interest in various Demand Response (DR) programs, and estimated adoption for each of these programs. The results of this study are meant to inform Southern California Edison’s...
