Bi-level stairwell lighting is an underutilized technology that uses occupancy sensors to switch between higher light output (when the space is occupied) and lower light output (when the space is unoccupied) to save energy. The purpose of this testing is to validate the performance of a new...

LED street lighting technology has made significant advancements as it continues to emerge. Currently the technology has reach a level of advancement which has made it competitive with incumbent technologies. This project is demonstrating LED street light technology through field placing fixtures...

Commercial customers that want to minimize their monthly peak demand and maximize the benefit they receive from participating in Demand Response (DR) programs need accurate predictions of their future (e.g. day ahead or longer) demand profiles and guidance on how to maximize their demand shed and...

This project analyzed the charging patterns of commercially-sited PEV charging in order to determine if commercial PEV charging has the potential of being used as a reliable DR...

This project is part of a larger Southern California Edison (SCE) effort to evaluate Demand Response (DR) capabilities of various residential appliances in a laboratory environment. Several manufacturers have recently developed DR-capable appliances, but little is known about how DR capabilities...

Billboards are outdoor signs typically large in size (14 feet by 48 feet to as large as 20 feet by 60 feet) and located along highways and busy surface streets. Traditional or “static” signs are comprised of paper panels lit at night with HID, fluorescent, or LED flood lamps. Digital...

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...

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 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...
