The HVAC retrofit controller uses dual temperature sensors (supply air and return air) and a proprietary control algorithm with predictive analytics to improve operation of an HVAC system. This laboratory test project will explore energy efficiency potential of the HVAC retrofit controller, on a...

A primary goal of this project is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the advanced measures for all-electric ZNE dormitory style housing. A secondary objective is to study how the all-electric ZNE residential buildings performs using the all-electrical...

This project will conduct an analysis of a backcasting analysis tool targeted at the Residential Direct Install program which offers a focused package of measures for residential energy efficiency. The tool presents a unique opportunity to directly gauge the combined benefits that could be achieved...

To help California reach SB1383 short-lived climate pollutant goals, this project will demonstrate the energy efficiency and environmental benefits of low GWP refrigerant based systems for walk-in freezers and coolers. There are thousands of these units that keep food product at the right...

Energy-efficient air compressor for industrial applications, 5 - 15...

EPIC GFO 16-304 which seeks proposals for demonstration and market deployment of innovative energy efficiency technologies in existing buildings. The goal is to accelerate market adoption of EE technologies while also reducing energy use and cost. This funding will be for projects in the LA Basin...

Advanced Lighting Control System Bench Testing: The evaluation will assist the implementation of a metering-on-board utility program that will enable utilities to ‘pay for performance’. When validated systems are used as part of a utility-incentivized lighting retrofit or new construction project,...

Funding support for the development of a quick software tool that provides life cycle cost analysis of a suite of building electrification, PV, battery storage. Primary target is commercial building types, but residential will be...

This is a follow up of an assessment of a web-based, energy efficiency recommendation engine providing a customized “path to zero-net energy” for any existing home. This tool uses current technologies in building energy simulation and combines it in a novel way with other recent developments in 3D...

Electrify and retrofit existing homes in the process of being sold by partnering with brokers, contractors, appraisers, and water...
