Advanced monitoring for temperature, moisture and energy use in two (2) houses per development as called for by the technology, strategy or assembly being installed. Monitoring is necessary to confirm energy savings, temperature reductions and moisture mitigations heretofore untested and only...

Southern California Edison (SCE) is teaming up with EPRI and a large production homebuilder to design, build and monitor a new ZNE residential community in Fontana, CA. SCE will act as the project's lead on emerging DSM technologies, battery storage integration, electrical grid optimization and...

The solution selected for study in this report is a connected LED lighting system with embedded sensors and wireless controls integrated into the luminaire. The luminaires can connect wirelessly to wireless access controls (WACs) that are connected to the EMS. This smart luminaire with...

Phase change materials (PCMs) are latent thermal energy storage products designed to offset building cooling requirements of HVAC systems. This field study seeks to evaluate the effect of installing PCMs in a quick-service restaurant to quantify the demand and energy savings benefits from...

This IOU Pilot/ET Project had three main goals:Demonstrate the technical feasibility of ZNE retrofits in public K-14 schools statewide through 13-18 geographically and demographically diverse projects.Disseminate lessons learned regarding the technical design process and the implementation process...

The purpose of this Emerging Technology (ET) Field Assessment is to study the impacts of installing phase change material (PCM) in a new construction commercial building and recommend how appropriate modelling strategies may be used for a Savings by Design (SBD) or residential new construction...

Weather-based algorithms (WBA) for smart thermostats combine compatible thermostats with detailed weather data, rate information, and analytics-informed behavioral techniques to optimize existing customer thermostat set points for EE while maintaining occupant comfort. The goal of this study is to...

- Updated August 2016 to include additional market data and 3rd party lab testing -In support of California’s strategic plan to accelerate the penetration of energy efficiency technologies, AESC executed a study of a new fan motor technology with funding, guidance, and...

Project SummaryThis report explores the potential role utilities may play in the emerging home energy management (HEM) marketplace and develops a roadmap to leverage, promote, and enable the use of these technologies for energy savings and grid load reduction. It takes a comprehensive view of...
