Determine which industries are most likely to have companies that use compressed air in situations where air blowers could be sufficient; Determine the potential interest in converting to air blowers for those particular situations within each industry; Determine potential market barriers (price,...

This laboratory evaluation is aimed at understanding the performance of LED A-19 replacement lamps. The lamps will be tested for light output, color consistency, energy use and overall...

Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Emerging Technologies Program (ETP) is seeking to collaborate with Homebuilders to implement Integrated Demand Side Management (IDSM) solutions in Zero Net Energy (ZNE) or near-ZNE model homes. The goal of this Demonstration Showcase initiative was to identify...

This project was developed to better understand how multiple integrated demand side management (IDSM) measures will impact a building demand profile, and ultimately the electrical grid. This report details the findings on how energy efficiency (EE), demand response (DR), distributed energy...

This project had two primary goals: - To examine the performance characteristics of highly controlled lighting systems in a real office environment in terms of comparison to applicable codes, and -To evaluate the ability of the OTF Consortium framework to deliver a highly controlled solution...

Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning is a popular method of heating and cooling in many countries. Though the product has been on the market for over 20 years, only recently was it introduced to the United States market. Because of its perceived energy efficiency (EE), there is growing...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the energy use associated with air conditioning hotel guest rooms under three different control strategies:Baseline: the digital thermostat was manually controlled by the guestOccupancy Controls: DDC thermostat with integrated occupancy sensor and energy...

Project SummaryThe IBM Mobile Measurement Technology report assesses a technology developed by IBM, the Mobile Measurement Technology (MMT) for data centers, aimed at producing energy savings on the cooling side. A roughly 30,000 square foot data center in Torrance, California, with under-floor air...

The two Southern California Edison projects (Phase 1 and 2) developed and implemented Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) algorithms into the eQUEST Building Energy Simulation Program. While VRF systems are applicable to both residential and small to medium-sized commercial facilities, these projects...

Project SummaryIn response to an overwhelming interest in innovations in LED lighting technology for the outdoor area lighting applications, San Diego Gas & Electric’s Emerging Technologies Program conducted this assessment with the following objectives:1) Identify potential LED solution for...
