Product would be considered retrofit add on (REA). It is an evaporative pre-cooler for air cooled condensers of commercial/industrial refrigeration systems. By using this pre-cooler, the dry bulb temperature of the air entering the condenser is cooler by some amount related to the evaporative...

Electrify and retrofit existing homes in the process of being sold by partnering with brokers, contractors, appraisers, and water...

Evaluate a new piece of cooking equipment. At least one manufacturer has built a prototype to replace the existing unit, testing is needed to compare performance based on efficiency and dissipation of heat to the surrounding space. In addition, this study will be determining the proper sizing of...

Create comprehensive matrix of available space and water heating product offerings. The matrix will be utilized for energy efficiency program design and SCE's building electrification efforts. This effort will support SCE's Pathway 2045 goals to electrify...

Occupancy-controlled luminaires have proven to have significant energy-saving potential in exterior applications such as residences, parking garages, parking lots, and pedestrian walkways. As a result, California utilities are deploying this approach throughout their service territories. To be able...

Conduct field evaluation of the performance of a novel approach to cooling dairy cows by installing hydronic heat exchanger panels beneath the manure free stall beds. The project will measure energy consumption of the new system relative to the baseline high-speed low-volume fans and feed lane...

As identified in the California Long Term Energy Efficiency Plan (CLTEESP), one of the Big Bold Strategies includes that All Residential Construction will be zero net energy (ZNE) by 2020. The purpose of this All-Electric Residential ZNE Home Field Monitoring Assessment measurement and verification...

Roof mounted, radiative sky cooling panel has a specialized film that cools when outside. These panels cool with minimal electricity, all day long throughout the year without evaporating water. The panels can be integrated into any new or existing refrigeration/HVAC system as an efficiency add-on...
