This study provides an energy savings comparison of five different types of hand dryers: standard manual, energy efficient manual, standard automatic, energy efficient automatic and high velocity automatic. A...

Typical demand response programs require curtailments of 15 percent of demand or 50 kilowatts (kW), whichever is greater, with some programs imposing heavy penalties for non-performance or underperformance. The rationale for...

Occasionally, the utility electric grid systems undergo voltage fluctuations caused by faults. These faults are caused by storms, accidents, debris on lines, and equipment failures. Normally, protective relaying is used...

Programmable communicating thermostats let home owners adjust their thermostat to reduce cooling/heating loads and save money. The technology also gives Southern California Edison (SCE) the opportunity to better understand usage patterns...

In this project, a demand control lighting (DCL) system was installed in a portion of a retail hardware store to evaluate the demand response effectiveness of this technology. Most lighting...

This project demonstrated the functionality of a refrigerant based energy storage (RBES) for air conditioning (A/C) system under different cooling load conditions. The RBES A/C system is designed to shift...

The California IOUs and SMUD (California Utilities) are pleased to announce their release of the “Super Lamp” Specification.  This is a joint effort with California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) and...

This Commercial air conditioning rooftop units (RTUs) are typically implemented as single zone, constant volume systems that cycle in response to a thermostat signal. Much of the energy used by...
