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...

The project evaluated wireless lighting controls technology at the Contra Costa County Office of Education building. The project area consisted of two private offices, two open offices, and a non-daylight area. The general lighting for the area is provided primarily by 2' x 4' linear fluorescent...

This project set out to evaluate the effectiveness of an energy management program that combines an EMIS with technical support, in the form of an Energy Coach, to drive energy savings for small and medium business customers in PG&E’s service territory. To do so, we deployed a test...

The primary objective of this Emerging Technologies project was to promote the California Energy Wise program through onsite monitoring at several different commercial foodservice establishments, comparing the energy use and cost differences when existing equipment in production kitchens are...

The purpose of this study was to conduct field measurements to evaluate the Demand Response (DR) capabilities of Programmable Communicating Thermostats (PCTs) leveraging Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR). This evaluation specifically relates to packaged rooftop Heating Ventilation and Air...
