Optimizing HVAC demands for residential cooling systems is becoming increasingly important in California as the electric grid becomes increasingly powered by renewable energy generation. Hydronic systems in general are particularly amenable to load shifting because they can be coupled to thermal...

The use of physical water treatment technologies for water-cooled cooling towers is growing the U.S. and has been more widely used primarily in the EU where restrictions on chemical discharge and environmental policies encouraging lower chemical usage are wide spread. Physical Water Treatment...

The motor technology examined in this study is an evaporator fan that uses a permanent magnet, synchronous AC motor (PMSM) with a new control design. These motors are inherently more energy efficient than all of the previously discussed motor technologies due to a number of design improvements....

Frontier Energy conducted an Emerging Technology project to characterize the energy savings potential associated with gas-fired steam tables. The study included field monitoring of baseline and replacement steam tables in three representative restaurant test sites in the SoCalGas territory,...

Automated Demand Response-Enabled Solution Development and Deployment for HVAC...

This project will evaluate and demonstrate new potential for otherwise unrealized demand response capability from new-to-market variable capacity commercial HVAC systems in Southern California. Southern California Edison (SCE) and their customers will benefit from this effort by unlocking a new...

Commercial dishmachines are in widespread and regular use in food service establishments. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has enacted a rebate program for door-type and undercounter-type dishmachines to foster the use of energy efficient models. Rebate applications are easy to...

The Goal of this project is to develop an updated approach to ADR incentives for nonresidential customers and/or third parties through literature review and data analysis. A Research Team including Energy Solutions and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab was engaged to develop a...
