To demonstrate and assess improved energy efficiency with continuous performance monitoring, flexible demand response and certified ADR capabilities for both low and high temp refrigeration. Project will utilize an ultra-low charge, zero GWP, flexible tonnage packaged system, continuous monitoring...

This project will measure the performance of an emerging technology nominal three-horsepower (3HP) high rotor pole Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) with software-controlled inverter, compared to a baseline nominal 3HP baseline induction motor controlled by a Variable-Frequency Drive (VFD) in...

"Indoor Horticulture utilizes electric (also known as artificial) lighting systems that have the ability to generate specific and tunable wavelengths to generate plant growth and development. The baseline and measure horticultural lighting systems shall provide a comparable level of service and the...

This project evaluated tunable white LED fixtures (troffers and pendants) with integrated controls, including daylight dimming, to determine visual and circadian performance and energy usage in commercial office space. The analysis culminated in information/recommendations for connected, tunable...

Compare this hybrid exhaust fan airflow and power consumption to other products in the exhaust fan category. A test apparatus will be built to test powered exhaust fans delivering required airflow and static. The fan will also be installed in the field to determine a "real world" performance and...

The problem of accurately baselining loads is an increasingly complex problem. This report describes and evaluates the several baselining methods for demand response events. Seven different methods are explored during this study, including Ten-in-Ten and Three-in-Ten with and without adjustments as...

This solar control system is a load shifting technology that shifts power loads for A/C motors back and forth between solar PV panels during the day-time hours and the power-grid during the night-time. Evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of a new proprietary solar control technology to...

Optimizing HVAC demands for residential cooling systems is becoming increasingly important in California as the electric grid becomes increasingly powered by renewable energy generation. Hydronic systems in general are particularly amenable to load shifting because they can be coupled to thermal...

Frontier Energy conducted an Emerging Technology project to characterize the energy savings potential associated with gas-fired steam tables. The study included field monitoring of baseline and replacement steam tables in three representative restaurant test sites in the SoCalGas territory,...
