This project evaluates technologies with a systems approach that have the potential to reduce electric energy use and then apply same in the field with enough examples to gather useful public feelings and acceptance. The primary goal is a proof-of-concept (POC) assessment of energy savings...

This is a paper assessment of a site with diverse and plentiful opportunities for energy savings through the application of advanced technologies among its lighting and mechanical systems. The project is aimed at identifying the potential energy efficient opportunities with special focus in...

During the summer of 2012, the Emerging Technologies program at PG&E collaborated with PG&E’s training center in San Francisco, the Pacific Energy Center (PEC), to update existing lighting installations– replacing what are now generally considered to be standard fixtures in terms of technology and...

The goal of this project was to evaluate the economic and technical viability of a comprehensive LED retrofit for all major fixture applications within a Fry’s Electronics store in Northern California. This includes general service fluorescent lighting, general service incandescent lighting,...

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has commissioned this emerging technologies (ET) report to assess both the market for light emitting diode (LED) replacement lamp products and the delivery channels available for utility promotion of these products. As part of this effort, PG&E...

LED pool lighting is an energy efficient technology that lights up the swimming pool while using less energy than incandescent lamps. Previous Emerging Technology study (ET10SCE1130) logged commercial pool operating hours that was pretty typical of most commercial pools; dusk to dawn or dusk to...

The goal of the project was to determine the energy savings potential provided by LED lighting as compared to the designed metal halide (MH) high intensity discharge (HID) base case for outdoor area lighting applications, especially underground parking structures. This demonstration project...

The primary objective of this project was to provide unbiased, technically sound information about the performance of ‘advanced blinds and shades’ products in a field assessment. Three types of advanced blinds/shades technologies were tested in this study: automated top-down shades, manual...

SCE has identified lighting retrofit opportunities for fast food restaurants' backlit menu boards. This study will conduct field measurements in order to assess the energy savings of these retrofits. This Field study will test five different energy efficiency solutions using either T5 fluorescent...

The project assessed the energy savings potential of LED lighting with an advanced lighting control system (ALCS) in a commercial office building. The control strategies were implemented and monitored in the following phases: 1. Existing fluorescent lighting 2. New LED luminaires at full...
