A new energy-saving product called an air management system (AMS) has been developed as a drop-in replacement for compressed air filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL) assemblies. The AMS saves energy by reducing pressure to large pneumatic end-uses during idling and cutting off air supply during...

This Focused Pilot project will identify and address the comprehensive set of barriers associated with the purchase and installation of commercial high-efficiency condensing units (HECUs) and high-efficiency evaporator units (HEEUs) used in walk-in coolers and freezers and remote condensing...

This report presents and synthesizes the results of: a.) on-site assessments of Controlled Environment Horticulture (CEH) facilities in California; b.) online grower and industry surveys; and c.) a previously published CEH literature review (ETCC Report #: ET21PGE8205). The report highlights...

This study will identify the electrical service requirements for various sizes of foodservice facilities such as quick serve, full service, cafeterias, and hospitality. This will help understand the costs, electrical load requirements, electrical service upgrade costs, and potential electrical load...

The proposed project is to develop an energy modeling framework based on OpenStudio, EnergyPlus, and ancillary analysis tools that solves previously identified shortcomings of existing grocery refrigeration analysis tools. A modeling “framework” is defined as all software packages, files, and...

California’s approximately 500 wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) within the IOU territories offer utilities significant untapped potential for process-based energy savings and load optimization related to both existing operations and planned expansions and capital investments. One key driver of...

The day-to-day operations of printers and converters are driven by the many variables of press operation, the need for quality, speed and low production costs including energy efficiency. These operations use solvent- or water-based inks and adhesives that require some method of drying other than...

The proposed project is an extension of an existing SCE EP project being implemented that is designed to enhance grid reliability, replace high GWP refrigerants with ammonia and/or carbon dioxide, improve efficiency, process optimization, and achieve decarbonization goals at a large bakery site....

A large majority of industrial facilities in California generate heat as part of their manufacturing processes. Much of this heat is rejected into the environment at varying temperatures above the ambient levels.   This project will demonstrate and evaluate the integration of waste heat...

Convenience store field evaluation of AI-based technology to evaluate its efficacy for broader customer segment in SCE’s service territory. Specifically, EPRI proposes to lead the field evaluation for Measurement and Verification of technology for power reduction (demand savings) and GHG...
