This project will provide technical support in the development of a standard test method to rate the performance and energy consumption of commercial rethermalizer ovens. Testing support will encompass sensitivity testing for different food products and cooking procedures based on stakeholder...

This project will encompass applying an ASTM standard lab test method to up to five different models of soft serve ice cream freezers to support the development of an equipment database. Once populated, the database will be used to support workpaper...

Field evaluation of 5 hotel/motel sites retrofitting existing commercial pool pump with variable speed controls. This effort will be used in conjunction with the market characterization in phase 1 to develop a work paper to deem this measure. The measure is currently offered in programs as a custom...

Conduct a field survey of 150 randomly selected sites with commercial swimming pools to identify key market, performance specifications to assist in making VFD for commercial pool pumps a deemed...

Joint utility project that:  1)Estimates the number and types of labs in California; 2)Estimates the number and types of energy-consuming and water-consuming equipment used in California labs; 3)Assesses operational and behavioral opportunities for efficiencies in how laboratory equipment in...

After identifying a suitable data center test site, this sub-project Da will test that site’s DR capability and scale up to implementing DR in a real data center running real workloads. Tests will focus on three measures: 1) Software that reduces computer server demand (kW) in an automated DR...

Project Summary The primary goal is to accelerate market transformation by validating the heating energy savings and associated cooking oil cost savings for ENERGY STAR® rated fryers at 17 sites using various manufacturers and models. We found the operational savings in oil is valued...

Field evaluation of vacuum sealing/packaging machines of 3 sites for use in supermarkets. Rather than leaving the heating element on continuously, the new unit activates the heating element used to seal packages only when the machine is in use. Same technology as was tesed in...

This project evaluates the lighting performance and energy savings potential of a Lamp-style Retrofit Kit, External Driver (a solution with separate lamp and driver), combined with a Wireless Advanced Lighting Control System (ALCS) to achieve additional energy savings and DR...

Conduct field evaluation of the performance of a novel approach to cooling dairy cows by installing hydronic heat exchanger panels beneath the manure free stall beds. The project will measure energy consumption of the new system relative to the baseline high-speed low-volume fans and feed lane...
