Southern California Edison (SCE) in collaboration with Brookfield Properties Corporation conducted this project, as part of the Office of the Future effort at the Landmark Square building. The project demonstrates the demand response opportunities of introducing advanced lighting design and highly...

Phase change material (PCM) is a thermal energy storage device that utilizes its high storage density and latent heat properties to decrease the cooling load on the air conditioning unit. PCM appears in a variety of compositions of organic and inorganic materials. PCM products are being designed...

The focus of this case study of non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) algorithms by four vendors at 11 non-randomly selected homes in the SDG&E region was to evaluate the rough accuracy of each algorithm in an effort to better understand the state of that industry. Whole building electrical...

This report evaluates the lighting Demand Response (DR) technology installed at the Federal Building in Los Angeles, CA. The DR study is managed by Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Design and Engineering Group and is part of the Office of the Future (OTF) initiative. The OTF is a new energy...

This project assesses the energy efficiency level of the Blodgett BCP 61E electric combination oven and seeks to determine an appliance baseline and a minimum energy efficiency level necessary to qualify for the food service qualifying product...

Convection ovens are general-purpose (standard) ovens used to cook food products by forcing hot dry air over the surface of the food product. Purpose of this project is to conduct lab tests using ASTM standard test methods to obtain performance metrics on convection ovens to develop a database of...

The sponsors engaged with Ecos to work with sponsor program managers to develop a plan for a California statewide program best suited to promote the development and market adoption of CFLs meeting the Super CFL...

A test was conducted by SCE in cooperation with Searles Valley Minerals, a raw materials mining and production company, at their Trona, California, plant. Facility operations involve use of a number of large 480 V and 4160 V motor and pump systems. For test purposes, Searles provided SCE access...

The objective of this project is to investigate the demand reduction and energy savings potential of LED technology for OPEN signs over standard neon OPEN signs. The project verifies claimed energy savings and demand reductions by measuring the technology in a laboratory environment at the...

This project seeks to determine the energy savings from the bulk refrigeration and flash refrigeration processes and analyzes the energy saving potential of using a new wine stabilization process known as...
