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...

Field evaluation, in three commercial sites, of a small wall-mounted heat pump water heater. This follows an EPRI lab evaluation of the same product. This equipment is not currently available in voltages employed in the United States, and isn't UL Listed. Research questions: • Can these products...

The Pilot will combine real time pricing design and transactional subscription elements from both the RATES and UNIDE tariff concepts. This is a prudent approach to enhancing and scaling up a system wide demand flexibility approach to improve system reliability and enhance customer benefits. The...

The SBVC Automotive TEC project is a Net Zero Pilot project.  The project is intended to be a model for future Community College capital projects and also serve as living laboratory.  The project includes several sustainability innovations.  These include: 1. Air Handling Unit Condensate Recovery...

Develop, test and demonstrate an open-source, add-on, advanced heat pump load control system for both water heating and space conditioning that does all of the following: 1. Responds to hourly or sub-hourly price and demand response signals to minimize cost and grid impacts 2. Optimizes energy use...

The 8th annual Net Zero 2021 Conference on net zero, zero carbon, and climate resilience will be a hybrid event scheduled for September 14-16 in Los Angeles. There will be Educational sessions, keynotes and...

Funding support for the development of a quick software tool that provides life cycle cost analysis of a suite of building electrification, PV, battery storage. Primary target is commercial building types, but residential will be...

The project is a broad market research and characterization study of smart electrical panels to assess industry and customer applications with the objectives of energy efficiency, GHG/Decarb reduction, DSM flexibility, building and transportation...

This is a follow up of an assessment of a web-based, energy efficiency recommendation engine providing a customized “path to zero-net energy” for any existing home. This tool uses current technologies in building energy simulation and combines it in a novel way with other recent developments in 3D...

This a technical demonstration for“Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBS)” within the SCE’s territory supporting General Services Administration’s (GSA) and DOE High Impact Technology Innovation Catalyst (HIT Catalyst) programs. The project will initiate a software application gateway to...
