Laboratory test a combination pre-cooler and fan/compressor speed controller provided by a major manufacturer installed with WCEC control algorithms. Use laboratory-test data to refine algorithms and optimize controls as needed. Field test the Roof Top Unit optimization package using one RTU at a...

The HVAC retrofit controller uses dual temperature sensors (supply air and return air) and a proprietary control algorithm with predictive analytics to improve operation of an HVAC system. This laboratory test project will explore energy efficiency potential of the HVAC retrofit controller, on a...

The goals of this project are to develop market understanding of the medium commercial segment – to include the key organizational, operational and decision-making characteristics and drivers. Additionally, whole building performance, equipment and system characteristics of this segment will be...

The goal of this project is to understand the role of middlemen in advanced economizer controls for commercial HVAC systems. More specifically, the project looks at the role human factors play in the adoption and successful utilization of advanced economizer controls. Ultimately, the objective is...

2023 - EPRI SPA20016951 Accelerating Smart DER Deployment in Commercial Real Estate  EPRI Project ID: 1-118031 The state of California has identified vehicles as the largest source of Green House Gas(GHG) emissions. Traffic and congestion are a part of living and working in Southern California,...

Verify the performance of two advanced indirect evaporative technologies as replacements for air-cooled DX cooling. Two field demonstrations will be undertaken to evaluate and validate the technologies. The units will be installed and monitored for a...

This project will draft a Building Energy Simulation (BES) Roadmap, given SCE’s reliance on Building Energy Simulation (BES) tools and pivotal role within the BES arena. This roadmap will help SCE: promote transparency and cross-collaboration amongst SCE’s IDSM programs, optimize future...

The project's primary goal will be to demonstrate technical and economic feasibility of ZNE homes by scaling the neighborhood level experiment in Fontana. It will also look at integrating ZNE homes into the electric grid. This project will demonstrate ZNE solutions within the multifamily category....

The objective of this project is to evaluate the performance in the laboratory of a new-to-market 120-gallon commercial Heat Pump Water Heater and its ability to provide hot water in a more efficient manner and with lower total emissions. This water heater has a COP of...
