This task will encompass applying an industry-accepted standard test method to up to five different models of refrigerated preparation tables to support the development of a refrigerated preparation table database. Once populated, the database will be used to support a new program offering to...

This project will identify the technical requirements needed to enhance the capabilities of a battery-based permanent load shift (PLS) to perform DR functionality, as well as investigate and define telemetry and control requirements. The project will also help identify and develop recommendations...

Lab and field evaluation of demand defrost controls for walk-in freezers. The purpose of the project is to quantify the energy savings achievable only defrosting on an as-needed basis as opposed to a...

Project SummaryThis ET project would validate the energy savings associated with Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) freezer systems.  ULT freezer systems which normally operate at either -40°C or -85°C range; are a large or often the largest energy consuming equipment in university,...

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 sub-project will explore and document advances in product development for advanced refrigerants in refrigeration systems with the goal of identifying products for laboratory evaluation and field deployment. Advanced product development engineering, primarily built on the foundations of...

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...
