Project SummaryThis is a market and technology study of emerging electronics technologies (such as home video and audio systems, office electronics, entertainment systems, and white goods) into mass market consumer sectors. The project is investigating the technologies emerging into the marketplace...

Project SummaryThis project will investigate technical opportunities for and barriers to tankless (a.k.a. instantaneous) natural gas water heater use in residential single family and multi-family buildings, initially for new construction applications and in the future, for retrofit applications....

Project SummaryPG&E has commissioned study which will identify, technically evaluate, and examine market readiness for all existing residential air conditioner charge and air flow verification services. Verification service companies train, certify, list and collect testing data for independent...

Project SummaryThe objective of this project is to quantify the savings from the use of solar tubes as day lighting sources in relocatable classrooms. Specifically, the classrooms would be retrofitted after baselining to determine the extent to which the use of solar tubes for primary lighting can...

Project SummaryThis scoping study builds on the multi-agency Integrated Design Charrette for energy efficient data centers that took place February 2-3, 2003 at the Pacific Energy Center. Scoping work will focus on the areas of uninterrupted power supply (UPS), high efficiency cooling strategies,...

Project SummaryThree tools for diagnosing Air Handler Unit (AHU) problems will be demonstrated and compared to evaluate their attributes in diagnosing problems with air distribution systems. For more information, please contact the sponsoring...

Project Summary:Demonstrate and assess energy and demand savings impacts of the following technologies and design strategies at three sites in northern and central California: -Variable air volume (VAV) for exhaust hoods, including applicable controls, -Makeup introduced through backwall supply...

Project SummaryThe Data Center Energy Efficiency Emerging Technology Demonstration Project focuses on the confinement of chilled air distribution in data center cold aisles. This methodology is based on the observation that current industry practices allow the chilled supply air to mix with...

Project Summary:The current project uses 100% uplight luminaires installed with dimming ballasts and 5000K lamps. Users have the ability to adjust the lighting levels to match their own preference. Dimmed levels and energy usage are metered for individual users and compared to individual users...

Some recent studies have performed preliminary investigations into the differences in efficiency and operation of furnaces, including the evaluation of high efficiency prototype blowers. Unfortunately there is no uniform, single method of testing and comparing airflow and efficiency of competing...
