This project evaluates how SCE can employ its existing satellite (SatComm) and radio-based (NetComm) communications infrastructure to enable current and future demand response (DR) programs for large commercial and industrial...

This project obtained information on cold storage customers’ awareness and perception of demand response (DR) programs. This information includes an assessment of the customers’ ability and willingness to participate in...

This project evaluates the potential demand response of small commercial HVAC systems and residential central air-conditioners using programmable communicating thermostats (PCTs) assuming PCTs were incorporated into the 2008 California Building...

The rationale behind automated shallow demand response (ASDR) is that enabling “shallow” demand response (DR) events, which require only a 5% to 15% demand reduction attracts greater participation among customers...

This market assessment determines the state of the current market in California for dimmable electronic ballasts and the implementation of “smart ballasts”. The goal of the study is to characterize...

This study investigates opportunities for increased demand response through peak load shifting with setpoint adjustment, using pre-cooling strategies in well-insulated large commercial buildings located in hot and dry climates.  The...

This study evaluates both the energy efficiency and demand response capability of three, off-the-shelf, advanced lighting control systems (ALCS). The project has these objectives: 1) Determine if these advanced lighting...

This project evaluates the demand response effectiveness of a demand control lighting (DCL) system during peak use periods. The DCL system was installed at a retail hardware store to verify the...

This report summarizes an assessment project conducted to study the performance of light emitting diode (LED) luminaires with network controls in a street lighting application. The project included installation of...

This report summarizes an assessment project conducted to evaluate light-emitting diode (LED) luminaires with bi-level operation in an outdoor parking lot application. The project replaced metal halide (MH) fixtures of...
