This is the final project report for a study on industrial heat pump (IHP) applications conducted from 2024 to 2025 for the Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) Code Readiness Program. This research project supports the development and implementation of California’s Building Energy...

AESC, Inc. proposes to conduct a market study which will include a comprehensive review of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capable electric vehicles (EVs) and electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE). The V2X application implies bi-directional (two-way) charging of an EV so that the EV may be used as...

Historically, energy efficiency (“EE”) programs have focused on addressing operational energy use and emissions. As California successfully reduces carbon from operational emissions through increased renewable energy sourcing, EE, and electrification, embodied carbon (“EC”) will become an...

Air source heat pumps for space conditioning and water heating are keystone technologies in efforts to decarbonize buildings.[1] Heat pumps have the potential to save approximately 60% of total residential heating energy consumption and reduce GHG emissions by 13.1 MMTCO2e if installed in homes...

This project assesses the application, market opportunity, and performance of phase change material (PCM) thermal energy storage systems (TESS) to replace inefficient gas and electric water heaters located in space-constrained California multifamily buildings, or as a technology solution to reduce...

This is the final project report for a study on steam trap fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) conducted from 2023 to 2025 for the Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) Code Readiness Program. The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact and feasibility of extending the 2022...

This memo summarizes the endangered savings analyses conducted by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), and Southern California Edison (SCE), collectively referred to herein as the California Investor-Owned Utilities (CA IOUs), in response to the...

This research project supports the development and implementation of California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards Title 24, Part 6 (Title 24) by providing insights into envelope and thermal energy storage (TES) design strategies along with their potential energy savings. A significant...
