Project SummaryThis project seeks to establish demand response (DR) potential for open and closed refrigerated display cases (display cases). This project is part of a multi-phase, multi-year effort to evaluate the possible incorporation of DR regulations into the California Appliance Efficiency...

Project SummaryComputer workstations represent almost 6% of the electricity consumed in the commercial building sector. This project evaluates the use of a client-server software application to manage the power option settings of networked Windows-based...

Project SummaryThis report summarizes a street lighting assessment project conducted to determine the potential of broad spectrum lighting utilized with LED and induction light sources in a street lighting application. In this project, LED and induction luminaires from different manufacturers...

This study investigates the energy savings potential of heat pump water heaters (HPWH) for single family home applications within the service territory of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E).  Heschong Mahone Group (HMG) conducted the...

This report summarizes the fourth phase of an LED street lighting assessment project conducted to study the applicability of LED luminaries in a in a street lighting application.  In Phase II, conducted in Fall 2007, fifteen 78-watt LED luminaries replaced a like number of 121-watt...

Project SummaryThis project optimizes the Demand Response Quick Assessment Tool (DRQAT), a building energy simulation software tool used to model demand response (DR) events within large commercial buildings. The accuracy of the models, within the software tool, was improved by comparing simulation...

Project SummaryThis project enhances a demand response (DR) evaluation tool for use by SCE in promoting DR programs and calculating future utility rates, such as critical peak pricing (CPP) and time of use (TOU), to small commercial building...

Project SummaryThe objective of this multi-phase project is to identify and demonstrate battery energy storage (BES) and communications technologies that enable small to mid-sized industrial and commercial customers to implement demand response (DR) strategies and thus increase their participation...

Project SummaryThis project evaluates innovative controls and strategies that allow commercial customers to participate in demand response (DR) programs by shedding load from ice machines. Field tests were conducted at several customers’ sites to understand deployment challenges and customer...

Project SummaryThis 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 control systems allow for reliable remote control of the...
