This project evaluates performance of a Demand Response (DR) capable clothes washer under various DR event and operational scenarios. Where possible, it quantifies the DR potential for each test...

The overarching Demand Response (DR) Appliance project is aimed at three types of residential appliances: refrigerators, dishwashers, and clothes washers. This report focuses on refrigerators manufactured by LG Electronics. Concurrent with this project, the U.S. Environmental Protection...

This project seeks to assess the functionality of two demand response (DR) assessment tools by gathering comments and feedback from Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Field Engineering group and other stakeholders regarding their field trial and evaluation of the tools. The project aims to...

This report presents the findings of a study conducted to understand residential and commercial customers’ interest in various Demand Response (DR) programs, and estimated adoption for each of these programs. The results of this study are meant to inform Southern California Edison’s...

This report evaluates the lighting Demand Response (DR) technology installed at the Executive Suites located in the General Office Building 4 (GO4). This is a Class A commercial office building owned and managed by Southern California Edison (SCE) in Rosemead, California. The DR study is managed by...

This project was developed to better understand how multiple integrated demand side management (IDSM) measures will impact a building demand profile, and ultimately the electrical grid. This report details the findings on how energy efficiency (EE), demand response (DR), distributed energy...

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...
