Gathering of Upstream Chiller performance data to enable performance curves to support the evaluation of Non-DEER Chiller measures. This work is expected to allow an increase in program participating by facilitating evaluation and deemification of high performance equipment currently not supported...

Retrofit to packaged RTU that cycles supply fan on/off when there's no call for cooling/heating. Technology adjusts outside air damper to maintain average CFM above code minimum. Field test on two RTUs retrofitted with the technology will be undertaken to validate the...

This project will help determine the effectiveness of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in cold storage applications at Low Temperature -10 - 0 F (-23 - 18 C). Controls will also be implemented into the study to determine how compatible it is with PCMs. A total of 4 tests will be done on warehouses to...

This a technical demonstration for“Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBS)” within the SCE’s territory supporting General Services Administration’s (GSA) and DOE High Impact Technology Innovation Catalyst (HIT Catalyst) programs. The project will initiate a software application gateway to...

The MR16 is a standard format for halogen light sources. The term MR16 stands for ‘multifaceted reflector’ and 16 eights of an inch diameter. The mirror reflector in the MR16 allows the light to be directed from the small halogen filament in a highly focused beam with little spill light. MR16 lamps...

This project performed a field test for a screw-in medium base socket to replace a 60W incandescent. In conjunction with rigorous laboratory testing by the DOE and field-testing in various markets by utility and energy efficiency partners, the lamps were tested, installed, and...

The blower power depends upon three variables: flow rate; pressure, and efficiency. The design of an energy efficient blower depends upon two main factors: shape of impeller and shape of blower housing that minimize pressure losses. The conventional blower’s (i.e., incumbent technology) efficiency...

Identify opportunities for energy efficiency in dairy farms. The focus is on alternative methods to fans and soakers to cool dairy cows. Cooling technologies investigated will include hydronic heat exchangers embedded beneath free stall beds and water source heat pumps. Other areas to be...

This task will encompass applying an industry-accepted standard test method to up to five different models of refrigerated preparation tables to support the development of a refrigerated preparation table database. Once populated, the database will be used to support a new program offering to...

The goal of this project is to establish a whole building M&V approach based on the short-time interval energy use data (collectively known as “M&V 2.0”) for the University and possibly Public Sector environment that is simple to apply but accurately captures real savings from existing conditions...
