Heat pump space conditioning and water heating can greatly reduce energy consumption compared to existing electric resistance or natural gas combustion options. Requirements for electrical service upgrades add cost and installation delays for customers considering heat pumps for space conditioning...

This California Low-Income Residential Housing Characteristics Study project proposes to address the lack of complete data on housing structures in disadvantaged communities (DAC) and Hard-to-Reach (HTR) single family residential housing. While high level data such as number of homes in DACs and...

Demonstration platform to educate and demonstrate multiple emerging technologies for Indoor AG...

A large majority of industrial facilities in California generate heat as part of their manufacturing processes. Much of this heat is rejected into the environment at varying temperatures above the ambient levels.   This project will demonstrate and evaluate the integration of waste heat...

SCE research has been to pursue various research and technology assessments to garner insight on EE opportunities and the reduction of potential GRID impacts related to the growing markets of Indoor Horticulture/Agriculture.  The project will access that all technologies within an indoor cannabis...

The Advanced Heat Pump Coalition is a group of utility and energy efficiency interested parties that has agreed to share knowledge and align efforts to have biggest impact on HVAC industry efforts that help utilities accelerate market adoption of residential heat pumps. The Advanced Heat Pump...

Develop, test and demonstrate an advanced zero GWP space conditioning system for multi-family or small commercial applications that is based on a reversible ammonia (NH3) heat pump with carbon dioxide (CO2) distribution, for space heating and cooling applications. A prototype of this technology,...
