High performance conveyorized toaster used by fast food restaurants especially. Predicted performance is to reduced energy for toasting buns and english muffins is 2/3 of incumbent technology. Market study, baseline performance and field testing of the high performance...

The overall goal of this project is to promote low GWP water heating technologies for central system applications typically found in multifamily and commercial buildings, increasing load shifting capabilities using central water heating systems, and developing best practice guides that simplify the...

This lab evaluation project evaluates the energy and demand savings of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems and traffic-sensitive lighting controllers in low-temperature reach-in refrigerated display cases. Additionally, LEDs may have longer life and lower maintenance costs. The LED systems...

This project will be performing “proof of concept” testing of a controls system, that claims the ability to provide tuning, scheduling, daylight harvesting, occupancy sensing, and individual controls for the lighting system being...

Online Integrated Demand Side Management service that incents consumers to conserve energy by leveraging social networks and social gaming. The internet-based platform enables social gaming (and other internet-based) companies to gain new revenue streams by trading their in-game currency for...

The pool pump system being evaluated is a hybrid AC and solar powered DC system. A DC pool pump is directly fed by PV panels installed on the roof of a building. An automatic digital motor controller changes the torque and speed of the DC motor based on the input power coming from the PV panels....

Cloud-based software incorporates historical customer energy usage and demand data, in any interval available (i.e., bi-monthly, monthly, hourly or sub-hourly), and combines this with weather data, to create predictive models of weather-normalized energy usage for every premise. These models can...

The Energy Management Software automates tenant billing, energy reporting, and their analytics have been shown to reduce costs by up to 10%. Validate the use of this Energy Management Software to improve building energy use. A field study will be implemented along with a group of control sites....
