The Pacific Gas and Electric Central Valley Research Homes (CVRH) project is the product of multiple years of effort by leading energy efficiency researchers and represents a significant investment of funding from the California Energy Commission, California Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs), and...

Evaporative coolers provide cooling without refrigerants and operate most efficiently in low-humidity conditions. To evaluate the feasibility of installing an indirect/direct evaporative cooler in lieu of a traditional split-system, refrigerant-based, central air conditioning system, the SDG&E...

SDG&E expects significant load growth in the indoor agriculture sector, primarily driven by the legalization of recreational cannabis use as well as increased interest and growth in indoor agriculture development opportunities at large. In line with efforts to encourage producers and trade...

This study evaluated the performance of unitary heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) operating in a shared configuration (each unit served four apartments) in an affordable all-electric multi-family project located in Davis, CA. The shared configuration allowed the HPWHs to be placed in close proximity...

The craft brewing industry has experienced tremendous growth over the last 10 years and California—particularly San Diego—has been at the forefront of this wave. Unlike large breweries, small and mid-size craft breweries do not have the resources to dedicate to optimizing energy...

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...

Objectives:  1. EPRI identified “a need to conduct lab evaluation and field demonstrations, in order to identify gaps between program requirements and device response. Results 2 from such evaluations can be transferred to manufacturers and Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) for standards...

EPRI is utilizing internal resources in this supplemental program agreement to address specific EM&T focus areas for renewable integration, CS/T&D coordination, innovative residential DR technologies, ZNE market assessment for grid impacts, CEC EPIC DR-related activities at EPRI, and tech transfer...

This Project proposes to demonstrate the benefits of the installation of a wastewater treatment system designed to reduce the amount of energy and water consumed at a dairy. The demonstration results will identify pumping energy reduction, water savings, reduced water intake from wells through the...

Create a specification for a standardized building-level VEN (VENB) and output application interface, which will eliminate the burden of ADR connectivity from the individual end-use loads. Loads need only connect to the VENB via its defined communication interface and then receive a standardized...
