This study was a continuation of the Central Valley Research Homes (CVRH) project which began in 2012. The CVRH project converted four existing single family buildings in Stockton, California into unoccupied laboratory houses for the purpose of evaluating energy savings associated with improvements...

San Diego Gas & Electric's Emerging Technologies (ET) program performed a measurement & verification (M&V) study of Phase Change Material (PCM) for commercial customers. PCM was studied in a high school classroom setting. This high school is located in climate zone 10 with the...

PG&E’s code readiness subprogram strives to collect data on measures and technologies that will support more robust advocacy in future code cycles rulemakings as well as inform voluntary energy efficiency programs. Additionally, by encouraging residential builders and commercial building...

A retrofit device for HVAC rooftop units that can respond to DR signals. The controller can either shut off the unit or it can limit or vary the speed of the indoor fan and...

PG&E’s Code Readiness subprogram (within PG&E's Codes and Standards Program) strives to collect data on measures and technologies that will support more robust advocacy in future code cycles rulemakings as well as inform voluntary energy efficiency programs. Additionally, by...

Heat pump water heaters have the capability to heat water during off-peak times of the day and store hot water for use during times when the demand for electricity is higher. Utilizing this strategy may provide potential cost savings for occupants by reducing energy use during the highest cost...

This project will provide a better understanding of emerging technologies and their energy related performances, helping us to achieve greater efficiency. loT technology and other advanced energy management systems potentially offer both advantages and challenges. A more thorough review of plug...

This study, sponsored by the Codes and Standards Program at PG&E, utilized a variety of public data sources, building simulations, and expert insights to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and near-term market viability of high efficiency windows for the residential and multifamily...

Conduct an Energy Efficiency (EE) and Power Quality (PQ) audit at an industrial site at SCE's service territory. The main objective of the audit was to identify ways to improve the efficiency of thermal and electric-powered industrial technologies, as well as of classic energy use systems, such as...

This project aims to improve the current Energy Channel (an application that displays Smart Meter energy usage data in a user-friendly graphic interface on the customer's TV) by integrating the Green Button initiative and adding social features. It is also intended to extend the current delivery...
