The goal of this study is to develop and apply a method for providing a high-resolution characterization of the spatial and temporal variability of energy intensity in the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) water system. The water sector is an emerging target for energy efficiency (EE)...

This report presents a number of new supporting controls technologies that have the potential to enable new energy-saving functionalities in buildings. However, not finding any appropriate existing tools to estimate energy savings, the Consultant developed streamlined methods that can be used to...

The goal of this project was to compare the capital costs of a Geothermal Central Utility Plant (CUP) to a Conventional CUP, estimate the energy cost savings, and determine the simple payback at a correctional facility development project in San Mateo County, California. This study was conducted to...

A grocery store customer within PG&E territory installed Anti-fog film on the inside glass of a five-door frozen food display case and the door anti-sweat heat was disabled on the doors of the display case. PECI analyzed actual energy consumption for three weeks before and three weeks after the...

The goal of this study was a quantitative analysis researching the known penetration of energy management systems (EMS) for existing commercial buildings in PG&E territory and a snapshot of the Energy Management and Information Systems (EMIS) technologies currently available. HMG used the...

The project assessed the energy savings potential of a 200 Watt LED High Bay fixture manufactured by BritePointe in replacement of 400 Watt Metal Halide fixtures located within a municipal gymnasium setting owned by the City of San José.  An initial analysis of energy savings of 34% resulted...

Hybrid light emitting diode (LED) and 36-inch linear fluorescent lamp to a replace 48-inch linear fluorescent lamp in stairwell applications. The lamp has a built-in occupancy sensor that switches power from the fluorescent lamp to the LED lamp when the stairwell is...

Southern California Edison (SCE) has worked with the March Inland Port Airport Authority (MIPAA) to provide assistance evaluating the replacement of incandescent taxiway lighting with light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. A sample area of taxiway was selected to perform a pilot...

This project had two primary goals: - To examine the performance characteristics of highly controlled lighting systems in a real office environment in terms of comparison to applicable codes, and -To evaluate the ability of the OTF Consortium framework to deliver a highly controlled solution...

Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) air conditioning is a popular method of heating and cooling in many countries. Though the product has been on the market for over 20 years, only recently was it introduced to the United States market. Because of its perceived energy efficiency (EE), there is growing...
