The high concentration of lights in Hospital ORs leads to a significant amount of heat generated in a small space.  The cooling load of the OR can often drive the cooling provided to the entire hospital, with a significant amount of reheat needed in other areas of the hospital.  Removing...

Project Summary Effectiveness of Liquid Pool Covers were evaluated at two customer sites. The product forms a thin layer over the pool water surface which reduces surface water evaporation and a result reduces energy used for heating the...

This project evaluates the energy savings potential of an Internet-Based Refrigeration Monitoring and Control System (IBRMCS) in a typical refrigerated warehouse application within Southern California Edison service territory. The potential energy savings are derived from the benefit of visibility...

Project SummaryA limited evaluation of two new heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) was conducted in the water heater laboratory at the PG&E San Ramon Technology Center. The objective of the testing was to investigate the operating characteristics of HPWHs in comparison with other types, and their...

Project SummarySouthern California Edison’s (SCE) Emerging Technology Program assesses products that have the potential to reduce electric energy use. Area lights that use light emitting diodes (LEDs) are a new application of evolving LED technology where potential energy savings has not been...

Project SummaryThis project seeks to validate and establish demand response (DR) potential for commercial refrigeration, commercial lighting, residential building control, and commercial building control systems. This project addresses Phase 1 of potentially a multi-phase, multi-year effort to...

Project SummaryThis project seeks to validate and establish demand response (DR) potential of thirteen residential and commercial appliance categories. This project addresses Phase 1 of potentially a multi-phase, multi-year effort to evaluate the possible incorporation of DR into the California...

Project SummaryThe objective of this multi-phase project is to identify and demonstrate battery energy storage (BES) and communications technologies that enable small to mid-sized industrial and commercial customers to implement demand response (DR) strategies and thus increase their participation...

Project SummaryThis project seeks to establish demand response (DR) potential commercial building control systems (building controls). This project is part of a multi-phase, multi-year effort to evaluate the possible incorporation of DR regulations into the California Building Energy Efficiency...

Project SummaryThis project seeks to establish demand response (DR) potential for commercial lighting systems (lighting systems). This project is part of a multi-phase, multi-year effort to evaluate the possible incorporation of DR regulations into the California Building Energy...
