Supplemental lighting in greenhouses uses significant electricity, and lighting controls that regulate supplemental lighting based on the amount of natural light available should be encouraged in the market. This project would extend a study currently being done by PG&E on the potential for...

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 this literature review is to present the current state of knowledge about the Controlled Environment Horticulture (CEH) industry and its energy and water use and to identify potential energy saving measures for consideration in future California Energy Code cycles. Gaps in knowledge...

GFO-20-303 Group 3  Address the problem of poor exterior lighting conditions in low-income and disadvantaged communities by developing, testing, and demonstrating a reliable, affordable, hybrid solar LED light that optimizes charging based on grid conditions while providing deep energy...

Field demonstration of Indoor Horticulture Lighting system (HID to...

To test the performance of Electrochromic/Smart Tint Windows, A test apparatus box will be made to simulate a space. Using a spectrometer and simulated light (Halogen light) to capture the wavelengths. This will help determine whether or not the window film will block out any infrared radiation....

Advanced Lighting Control Systems (ALCS) Bench Testing – Plug Load Controls aims to revisit and refine the technology validation program developed in Phase I. ALCS Bench Testing - Plug Load Controls focuses on the plug load specific additions that are available with select ALCS and evaluates...

This research was performed to help those involved with the development and implementation of California’s Title 24, Part 6, Building Energy Efficiency Standards (“Title 24”), better understand the real-world performance of Networked Lighting Controls (NLCs) and their advanced capabilities. NLCs...

This project evaluated tunable white LED fixtures (troffers and pendants) with integrated controls, including daylight dimming, to determine visual and circadian performance and energy usage in commercial office space. The analysis culminated in information/recommendations for connected, tunable...
