Residential

Keeping Californians in cool air and warm water takes a hefty dose of gas and electricity. Energy efficiency improvements in air conditioning and water heating have helped families throughout the state save money and energy. Emerging Technologies is testing a variety of air cooling and water heating technologies, and making the best available to customers. Since California's population is expected to grow from 37 million to 50 million by 2040, the need for identifying, testing, and bringing new energy efficiency technologies to the residential market becomes all the more pressing.

demonstrate increased efficiencies by using small, leakage free ducts to reduce distribution losses. PM: Chris Scruton
 
 
This project was designed to evaluate strategies and tactics for implementation of ACCA Standards 180 and 4. In order to explore further development and marketing of the HVAC Quality Maintenance (QM) program, PG&E...
 
 
In-home display (IHD) devices provide homeowners with “real-time” data on total home energy consumption, giving them greater control over energy use and taking the surprise, delay, and mystery out of...
 
 
This study assesses the status of the light-emitting diode (LED) recessed can lighting and measures any incremental energy and demand savings over their pin-based compact fluorescent and halogen counterparts.Download report
 
 
This project analyzes and tests the integration of night ventilation cooling technology into a standard heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Night ventilation systems automatically ventilate houses using the...
 
 
This project evaluates if residential customers will welcome controlling their programmable communicating thermostats (PCTs) via the internet, if they think on-line control is better than other control methods, and if...
 
 
Develop air duct knowledge and prototype technologies. PM: Dale Trenschel
 
 
Evaluate whether the benefits of programmable thermostats can be achieved with easier-to-use methods of controlling space-conditioning systems, in order to understand how these measures may affect low-income housing energy use....
 
 
This project was designed to evaluate consumer preferences and attitudes towards home energy management and “Smart Homes” through qualitative focus groups.Download Report
 
 
Develop smart load controls for residential and commercial appliances (e.g., refrigerators, electric hot water heaters, and other appliances) that reduce peak electric loads, enhance the dynamic stability of the power...
