DR Tests in a Typical Office Space in a Federal Building
Project Number DR 09.09 Organization SCE End-use Whole Building Sector Commercial Project Year(s) 2009 - 2011This report evaluates the lighting Demand Response (DR) technology installed at the Federal Building in Los Angeles, CA. The DR study is managed by Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Design and Engineering Group and is part of the Office of the Future (OTF) initiative. The OTF is a new energy efficiency approach supported by a consortium of some of the nation’s largest and most progressive energy utilities. The primary goals of this project are the following:
1. Determine whether the advanced lighting controls system allows for reliable control of facility lighting loads from SCE, or business management as part of a Demand Response Program,
2. Examine demand reductions that are achievable with a well-designed lighting system, and
3. Provide measured and technical data in support of the OTF initiative.
