There are several studies describing indoor air quality (IAQ) and tested air-leakage rates in multifamily buildings and the dwelling unit compartmentalization rates, but much of the work is in states located in colder climates and not directly transferable to California. Therefore, there is a...

The installation of all-electric HVAC systems, particularly in commercial or nonresidential buildings, will play a key role in meeting California’s carbon reduction goals. However, barriers persist for owners, mechanical designers, and contractors when pursuing all-electric HVAC solutions....

The SCE’s Technology Test Centers (TTC) evaluate a variety of technologies in controlled environments that mirror real-world conditions and customer experiences. This generates comprehensive performance data and innovative test methods which are used by SCE customers, policymakers, and utility...

Adaptive daylighting controls were installed at a large cannabis greenhouse operation in central California to start exploring the potential for a deemed measure package for this technology. The amount of light needed by a specific crop during specific phases of growth is specified as the target...

The purpose of the Midstream HPWH Market Study was to assess barriers to increasing adoption of connected HPWHs by conducting interviews across seven different types of supply chain stakeholders. The Project Team identified the greatest barriers per stakeholder group and developed implementation...

To accelerate the adoption of clean and efficient energy retrofits a radically scalable and cost-effective solution for most homes is needed. Recent advances in building energy modeling, access to more housing data, and GIS technology have created an opportunity to perform accurate and...

Convenience store field evaluation of AI-based technology to evaluate its efficacy for broader customer segment in SCE’s service territory. Specifically, EPRI proposes to lead the field evaluation for Measurement and Verification of technology for power reduction (demand savings) and GHG...

This report documents the evaluation of the energy and on-peak demand savings attributable to the eco+ software feature that was rolled out to ecobee thermostats in the San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E) service territory. The implementation of the feature was conducted on a randomized...

This study investigated the technical and market feasibility and consumer acceptance of residential sensor-based range hoods to automate range hood operation to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and occupant health. Goals of the study included:Identifying existing and emerging products that use...

This report presents the results of PG&E’s Smart Thermostat Time-of-Use (TOU) Automation Study with a bring your own thermostat program design. The study provided incentives to residential customers who allowed PG&E to reduce or shift their electricity use in the 4–9 pm peak...
