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...

The project’s objective is to identify scalable, deployment-ready technologies that can hasten the transition to zero net energy homes in PG&E territory. Four of a total of fourteen existing residential structures, the Domes, at UC Davis were retrofitted with energy efficiency improvements...

Market and technical study of LED replacement lamps with embedded controls/smartphone apps for user...

Scaled field placement evaluates the electrical and thermal savings for DCKV when combined with building EMS systems in order to provide work-paper updates and inform new measures. Further evaluates opportunities for chains and SMBs using a tiered pricing...

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...

The primary objective of this project was to provide unbiased, technically sound information about the performance of ‘advanced blinds and shades’ products in a field assessment. Three types of advanced blinds/shades technologies were tested in this study: automated top-down shades, manual...

This report is the second phase of a technical analysis that evaluates the savings potential of ‘advanced window film’ products that may offer improved energy performance relative to traditional tint films. This phase consisted of field installation of advanced films and on-site monitoring or...
