This project is evaluating and testing small (4-kilowatt [kW]) automotive-grade advanced lithium-ion battery modules for use as a residential energy storage unit (RESU). The goal is to evaluate the potential of using in-home batteries during DR events or localized distribution constraints to...

Participate in industry discussions regarding incorporation of "connected" requirements into Energy Star product specification. Some preliminary testing may be conducted to determine clothes washer response during DR...

Dispatchable pre-coolers have the potential to be used for utility load management if pre-coolers can be demonstrated to be a guaranteed demand reduction resource. Building on prior work testing evaporative pre-coolers, complete a laboratory study to determine the transient response and load...

Codes and Standards will work with ENERGY STAR on two aspects: 1) update the test methods for “connected water heaters” and ENERGY STAR...

Develop, test and demonstrate an advanced zero GWP space conditioning system for multi-family or small commercial applications that is based on a reversible ammonia (NH3) heat pump with carbon dioxide (CO2) distribution, for space heating and cooling applications. A prototype of this technology,...

GFO-20-303 Group 3  Address the problem of poor exterior lighting conditions in low-income and disadvantaged communities by developing, testing, and demonstrating a reliable, affordable, hybrid solar LED light that optimizes charging based on grid conditions while providing deep energy...

Perform measurement and verification of NanO2 aeration technology to reduce wastewater treatment plant blower load while eliminating sewer system odor and...

A large majority of industrial facilities in California generate heat as part of their manufacturing processes. Much of this heat is rejected into the environment at varying temperatures above the ambient levels.   This project will demonstrate and evaluate the integration of waste heat...

Evaluation of solar thermal system integrated with campus central plant hot water loop.  Target temperature for the supplemental solar thermal array is 160'F and will eliminate most of the existing heat provided by the boilers and the central plant. CSUDH is part of the CEOP pilot to minimize GHG...

Solar Chimney Design as part of the SBVC Automotive TEC Project. A solar chimney is a passive solar ventilation system. It is a way of improving natural ventilation within a building as well as providing heating or cooling by utilizing heat from the sun to enhance natural stack effect ventilation...
