The primary goal of this investigation was to provide long term laboratory test data to assess the longevity of an evaporatively-cooled condensing unit (ECCU) and to provide recommendations for operation and maintenance of the system to maintain performance and energy efficiency. A secondary...

This study will be to determine the effectiveness of a new lensed tubular daylighting device to provide glare-free daylight into interior office spaces. Additionally, this study will measure actual savings achieved with this innovative daylighting system when operated with advanced lighting...

Conduct a market study, an adjunct to a main study, within SCE service territory to understand significant developments and trends in the Connected Home market by investigating consumer and manufacturers attitudes towards residential energy management in a connected home. A connected home can...

This field study evaluated the demand response (DR) capability of advanced lighting control systems (ALCS) acting on backlit menu boards. Four types of ALCS were installed in five fast food restaurants. The ALCSs were from Daintree Networks, Enlighted, Acuity nLight, and WattStopper. Two sites used...

This study conducted field measurements to evaluate the Demand Response (DR) capabilities of four different advanced lighting controls systems (ALCS). This evaluation specifically relates to Light Emitting Diode (LED) interior lighting in fast food restaurants. The main objectives of the project...

This project was created to develop the National Advanced Lighting Controls and Certification (NALCAC) program. The NALCAC program is being designed to provide significant increases in energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR) capabilities in the lighting and advanced controls systems that...
