Recognizing the benefits of benchmarking, the Executive Order (EO) S-20-04 requires all state-owned buildings to be benchmarked with support of the utilities. Because of the requirements of the EO S-20-04, this project was initiated. The main goals for this project are to:Develop software that...

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...

SCE conducted a two-pronged research study including a web survey among residential customers and twelve in-depth telephone interviews among industry decision-makers and thought-leaders. SCE’s study leveraged the broader, national effort performed by the Continental Automated Building...

This report evaluates the lighting Demand Response (DR) technology installed at the Natural Sciences Building on the University of California, Irvine (UCI) campus. The DR study was conducted by Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Design and Engineering Services...

The goal of this Feasibility Study is to review existing California utility-specific software offerings and EnergyPlus tools currently in place or planned, as well as to ascertain what will be required to adapt the EnergyPlus tools for utilization by utility incentive programs. Additional...

This report evaluates the lighting Demand Response (DR) technology installed at the Landmark Square office building in Long Beach, CA. The DR study is managed by Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Design and Engineering Services group and is part of the Smart Corridor and Stairwell study....

The study investigates the current state of the residential sector through a literature search and review.The study’s Phase 1 evaluates available literature to determine if residential lighting and plug loads coincide with projected peak demand, and to determine the potential for customer...
