The electrode-less HID light source is a new class of solid-state plasma light source that combines the best features of solid-state electronics and full spectrum plasma emitters. Results are long life, energy efficiency and a complete color spectrum for general and specialty lighting applications....

This is a joint effort between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Sempra Utilities, and Southern California Edison to incorporate energy efficiency measures for data centers to be used in computer building...

This project is aimed at evaluating Bi-level Hybrid Fluorescent LED Lighting for Stairwells and Covered Parking as an energy efficiency measure. The project will field test fixtures to determine the potential for energy...

Conventional die casting machines do not have variable speed drives on motors for changing pressures for hydraulic pumps. The VSD can control the speed of motors to open, close, and clamp the molds during casting. When the mold is clamped, a mechanical system (such as latch) provides the holding...

A lab performance assessment LED replacement for a 60W incandescent A lamp. Lighting performance, power quality, and dimming performance are studied. This lab evaluation sought to independently test and analyze the performance characteristics of the 60-Watt incandescent...

This project will evaluate performance of a water treatment system. This technology can be used in all ice rink facilities to replace conventional systems. This system can potentially offer significant energy savings and reduced maintenance costs by creating ice with fewer microscopic air bubbles....

The project will identify current design standards and move the industry towards producing more energy efficient signs. Host a series of industry meetings as well as conducting a number of market studies specifically designed to provide information on the lighting technologies used and the quantity...

This project performed a field test for a screw-in medium base socket to replace a 60W incandescent. In conjunction with rigorous laboratory testing by the DOE and field-testing in various markets by utility and energy efficiency partners, the lamps were tested, installed, and...

Measure energy saved when a VSD is added to a car vacuum cleaning system at a full service car wash. VSD control allows the vacuum motor to change speed to match needed vacuum pressure and air...

This study characterizes the lighting performance of bi-level ceramic metal halide (CMH) area lighting fixtures for substation uplight duty, and quantifies the energy savings potential when compared to conventional pulse start metal halide (PSMH) area fixtures. This market subset of the general...
