This project aims to evaluate the performance, energy efficiency, and load flexibility potential of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)-enabled stand-alone clothes washers and dryers in residential settings. While these smart appliances are already commercially available, their adoption has been limited...

Project OverviewTo meet California’s emissions reduction goals under Assembly Bill 1279, which mandates reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 85% below 1990 levels by 2045, widespread electrification of residential cooking is critical. Gas stoves are a major source of indoor combustion gases,...

This project focuses on performance validation, economic analysis, and market support for electric conveyor ovens, a common piece of equipment in fast food and quick-service restaurant kitchens. Currently, utility incentive programs such as the Food Service Instant Rebate Program, as well as the...

This project is focused on performance validation, economic analysis, and market support for electric conveyor charbroilers—an appliance category currently excluded from California utility programs and the electronic Technical Reference Manual (“eTRM”) database, which only recognize gas-powered...

This proposed project aims to address the increasing demand for data centers driven by the rise of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”), machine learning, and cloud computing. In California, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”) estimates an additional three and a half (3.5) gigawatts (“GW”) of...

This project will test and quantify the emissions improvements and potential efficiency gains for the next-generation ClearSign M1 Ultra-Low-NOx burner operating on natural gas in addition to up to 30% hydrogen fuel (by vol.) added to natural gas.The potential energy savings and CO2 emissions...

The previous GET Study ET25SWG0004 – CFS SME Interviews highlighted a subset of high-potential gas-fired CFS technologies currently lacking incentive coverage. This project will expand upon those findings through a second round of targeted SME interviews, this time engaging manufacturers,...

There are 500,000 mobile and manufactured housing (MMH) units in California [1]. Most of these units are old and inefficient, estimated to consume 40% more energy than single-family homes [2]. To meet California’s aggressive decarbonization and electrification goals, it is critical to investigate...

This project is a market study that will explore commercial and industrial (C&I) and agricultural market potential and assess how Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) heat exchangers and heat pumps can decrease energy consumption and demand, decrease operating costs and increase building energy...

Historically, energy efficiency (“EE”) programs have focused on addressing operational energy use and emissions. As California successfully reduces carbon from operational emissions through increased renewable energy sourcing, EE, and electrification, embodied carbon (“EC”) will become an...
