Measure energy saved when a VSD is added to a car vacuum cleaning system at a full service car wash. VSD control allows the vacuum motor to change speed to match needed vacuum pressure and air...

This study characterizes the lighting performance of bi-level ceramic metal halide (CMH) area lighting fixtures for substation uplight duty, and quantifies the energy savings potential when compared to conventional pulse start metal halide (PSMH) area fixtures. This market subset of the general...

Field evaluation of vacuum sealing/packaging machines of 3 sites for use in supermarkets. Rather than leaving the heating element on continuously, the new unit activates the heating element used to seal packages only when the machine is in use. Same technology as was tesed in...

Evaluate LED retrofit modules/signs for energy savings and luminance. Test performance against baseline linear fluorescent and appropriate municipal codes for Street Name...

Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) LED for Wastewater Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) Much like light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have revolutionized the general (visible spectrum) lighting industry, UV-C LEDs are set to rapidly replace conventional UV mercury vapor lamps in water disinfection and water reuse...

The purpose of the project is to verify the performance and efficiency of a 5-ton indirect evaporative hybrid roof top air-conditioning unit developed primarily for the small commercial market...

Steamers, or steam cookers, are cooking appliances wherein heat is imparted to food in a closed compartment by direct contact with steam. The compartment can be at or above atmospheric pressure. The steam can be static or circulated. The purpose of this test is to use ASTM standard test methods to...

This project is intended to begin the process of creating a certification training course for architects, designers and specifiers of lighting control systems. Initiate a collaborative committee of subject matter experts and well-known stakeholders to develop a needs analysis that lighting control...

The Solar Decathlon is a DOE-sponsored international competition which challenges collegiate teams to design, build, and operate solar powered houses that are cost-effective and energy-efficient. These competition homes are highly visible and typically see more than a quarter of a million visitors....

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...
