This project is aimed at evaluating Bi-level Hybrid Fluorescent LED Lighting for Stairwells and Covered Parking as an energy efficiency measure. The project will field test fixtures to determine the potential for energy...

The study will provide data on technical and economic potentials of specific market segments. The project is a secondary research paper study and may not provide details on behavior or decision processes directly, it will highlight areas in which furthermore in-depth studies can explore such areas...

Conventional die casting machines do not have variable speed drives on motors for changing pressures for hydraulic pumps. The VSD can control the speed of motors to open, close, and clamp the molds during casting. When the mold is clamped, a mechanical system (such as latch) provides the holding...

LED pool lamp is an underwater lighting fixture used to illuminate swimming pools. A field study was conducted in 2010 under the Emerging Technology Assessment project (ET10SCE1130) which proved that LED pool lighting is an effective technology that can meet the performance of its incandescent...

This project is aimed at understanding the actual EUL values of LED based products by performing a combination of field measurements, lab evaluation, and data compilation. This effort consists of (1) field measurements of deployed LED based lighting to determine their current performance and rate...

DC pool pumps, 1/7 HP or 100 Watts, are installed in tandem to the existing AC pool pump (typically 2-3 HP). During the filtration cycle or while moving water through the pool filters, DC pump will be turned on to save energy. Since the pumps remains in this mode most of the time, average usage...

This Project proposes to demonstrate the benefits of the installation of a wastewater treatment system designed to reduce the amount of energy and water consumed at a dairy. The demonstration results will identify pumping energy reduction, water savings, reduced water intake from wells through the...

In past funding cycles, SCE funded the development of two studies to introduce OCSTs—formerly referred to as programmable communicating thermostats (PCTs)—into California’s Building Code, Title 24. In 2012, OCSTs were incorporated as alternatives in residential buildings and requirements for...

Areas of Focus developed through EM&T DR Planning & Tactic study, and will help develop EM&T's Energy Storage Technology Road...

This project’s goals are to test optimization of connected thermostats and other loads via voice commands based on TOU rate peak times and customer preferences. Voice interactions related to energy (usage, estimated bills, best times to use appliances, etc.) will undergo evaluation to determine...
