The objective of the PG&E Code Readiness Program’s retrofit DOAS, VRF and Networked Lighting Controls Demonstration at the UC Davis Facilities Management, Energy Conservation Office was to develop cost, performance, and occupant satisfaction data from a field demonstration site for a...

This project is investigating an energy management circuit breaker (EMCB) with several additional features. The EMCB is a single-or-double pole, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker commonly installed in low-voltage panelboards to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent,...

Lighting in parking lots and garages increases the visibility and sense of security for its users. The recommended light levels in parking lots and garages are included in the Illuminating Engineering Society’s Recommended Practice (RP) – 20 document. In the latest version of this document...

This project will evaluate the ability of smart electric lighting, lighting controls, electrochromic windows, and shading systems to communicate and coordinate their operation using a single building management system (BMS) or other software platform. This will allow building owners and operators...

This project will evaluate automated demand response (ADR) solutions for use with lighting in small commercial applications (less than 10,000 square feet)to identify solutions for both retrofit and new construction applications and space types. Focus will be on historically underserved commercial...

Evaluate LED retrofit modules/signs for energy savings and luminance. Test performance against baseline linear fluorescent and appropriate municipal codes for Street Name...

Xuan Luo,[1] Tianzhen Hong,1 Mary Ann Piette,1 Yixing Chen1Building Technology and Urban Systems DivisionLawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryThis research developed load shape benchmarking using the energy use data of 2,353 small- and medium-sized commercial buildings in California. The load shape...

Project SummaryIn this study, we demonstrated a fast DR system architecture for DR resources participation in ancillary services using the OpenADR 2.0b. One objective was to measure if response time would be 4 sec or less, with response time defined as time to send signal, get response, and...

This project is the follow-up to the ETP assessment for LED Tube Replacement Lamps with an SFP that will provide measurement and verification of the installations through the limited release to the PRP area as a Custom...

ETP studies (ET11SCE1010 and ET11SCE1011) showed significant energy savings potential. This Scaled Field Placement (SFP) effort will take advantage of the Lighting Innovations project intended to test incentive midstream and upstream...
