Conduct a field survey of 150 randomly selected sites with commercial swimming pools to identify key market, performance specifications to assist in making VFD for commercial pool pumps a deemed...

This report summarizes EM&T efforts at Southern California Edison from July 2014 through December 2014. It lists reports that were:- Completed- Initiated- Works still in progressAnd includes a detailed status for each DR...

A field evaluation that collects energy savings, incremental costs, feasibility, conflict with other building practices for one of the measures under consideration for the 2016 T-24 standards: Ducts in Conditioned Space.  Key problems solved: example moderate cost methods of achieving...

Project Summary The primary goal is to accelerate market transformation by validating the heating energy savings and associated cooking oil cost savings for ENERGY STAR® rated fryers at 17 sites using various manufacturers and models. We found the operational savings in oil is valued...

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...

The primary goal of this project was to measure and quantify the relative performance gains that can be achieved by a typical rooftop air conditioner from various enhancement technologies. This involved baseline testing of the air conditioner under a range of operating conditions, and then...

This project examines the site net energy consumption of a sample of units in the UC Davis West Village community. The primary goals were to (1) study energy consumption and production in order to determine if this West Village sample is achieving its zero net energy goals and (2) determine the...

The goal of these retrofit projects was to understand the costs and energy savings attributable to retrofit ground-source heat pumps for heating and cooling applications and to assess performance under different climate conditions typically found in...

The project was designed to evaluate changes in water management (applied irrigation water) by growers who adopt Soil Moisture Sensors (SMS) to schedule their irrigation events. The goal was to determine if, on-average, there was a reduction in applied water (and associated energy) by growers who...

The goal of this project is to test the performance of an earthworm-based wastewater treatment system known as Dynamic Aerobic Biofilter (BIDA®) or BioFiltro for its ability to reduce organic contaminants in agricultural waste and to measure the energy use to achieve these...
