This project is phase 1 of a multi-phase pilot project for gas-fired heat pump water heaters & combination systems. This phase 1 project will do all the groundwork for the future phase 2 and 3 projects to install gas-fired water heating/combination equipment at various sites around California. ...

The project will research emerging Ultra-low NOx (ULN) Burner technologies to provide actionable recommendations of technologies and gaps for further study by the GET program. This project will research and evaluate cost-effective, efficient, and ultra-low emission burner technologies including...

The 120V heat pump water heater (HPWH) has the potential to vastly increase customer adoption of heat pump water heaters by reducing installation costs. The 120V units plug directly into existing shared or dedicated circuits at the WH location, eliminating additional electrical wiring and/or...

Water heating represents significant energy use in residential applications. Therefore, energy efficient water heating is an essential component to achieve California’s saving goals. Although gas-fired heat pump water heaters (gHPWH) have been around for over three decades, this technology has only...

This Emerging Technology (ET) study project is proposed to research emerging gas-fired water heating technologies in order to provide actionable recommendations of technologies and gaps for further study by the Statewide Gas Emerging Technologies (GET) program. This project will cover both...

This Emerging Technology (ET) study project is proposed to analyze & research natural gas water heating technology adoption trends in existing California Investor-owned utilities (IOUs) offered Energy Efficiency (EE) incentive programs, perform market research to understand technology adoption...

This project will test GoPowerEV, a new electric vehicle (EV) charging solution designed to provide access to charging in existing multifamily buildings with limited electrical capacity. GoPowerEV's combination of power-sharing capabilities, built-in load shifting, scalability, and affordable...

Supplemental lighting in greenhouses uses significant electricity, and lighting controls that regulate supplemental lighting based on the amount of natural light available should be encouraged in the market. This project would extend a study currently being done by PG&E on the potential for...

Residential heat pump space conditioning and water heating can greatly reduce energy consumption compared to typical natural gas combustion or electric resistance equipment. Multi-function heat pumps are a product type that uses one efficient outdoor compressor and heat exchanger unit to provide...

The persistence of Covid-19 and remote work is driving new patterns of variable and unpredictable occupancy in commercial offices, where work flexibility is the new norm and employees may go to the office irregularly or infrequently. In many instances, this may become the new norm. As a result,...
