A side-by-side comparison was done with the conventional technology, MH HID, and the emerging technologies, LED and induction. Based upon pump island occupancy, the bi-level light sources would allow for the under-canopy lights to be further dimmed to a light level acceptable to the station’s...

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...

In 2012, the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), Energy Institute initiated a project funded by the Emerging Technologies Program at the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to retrofit existing residential structures through energy efficiency improvements and with ground source...

This project will evaluate the energy savings, economic benefits, and market potential for recessed LED lighting equipped with multiple types of lighting control systems for food service sector. Lighting systems will include various types of recessed LED troffers installed in combination with...

This project is a field evaluation to test the feasibility of high efficacy lighting systems with controls to illuminate utility substation switch racks, entrances, roadways, parking lots, and pathways. The project will test energy efficient fixtures to identify if they provide equal or better...

The Pacific Gas & Electric company (PG&E) installed a zero net energy (ZNE) classroom demonstration at its Stockton Energy Training Center (ETC), which opened to the public on December 13, 2012. The ZNE classroom demonstration is a fully functioning classroom, that is designed as a ZNE...

Scaled placement of Advanced Lighting Controls platform and 2x4 LED panels. PG&E had a unique opportunity to verify the energy efficiency potential for two similar floors of a large office building where one floor kept the T-8 3-lamp fluorescent fixtures and the second floor replaced them with 2x4...

Project SummaryThis project examines the site net energy consumption of a sample of units in the West Village community at the University of California Davis (UC Davis). The three primary goals are as follows:Study energy consumption and production in order to determine if this West Village sample...

This Xenon lighting evaluation project is divided into two phases. The first phase, documented in this interim report, consists of product evaluation and comparison against traditional exterior source technologies using published manufacturer’s data. The second phase of this project, beginning in...

The project’s goal is to determine the feasibility of developing advanced lighting training and certification among all persons that are part of the process of providing lighting systems. In the case of electricians and contractors, CALCTP has already provided for this aspect of the project, and...
