Replace low pressure, saturated natural gas fired steam boilers, with two stage heat pump system. Provide first stage heat pump for high temperature hot water needs for sterilization and, and then use second stage for steam needs of the bakery. Use of advanced heat pumps with low GWP refrigerants...

To help California reach SB1383 short-lived climate pollutant goals, this project will demonstrate the energy efficiency and environmental benefits of low GWP refrigerant based systems for walk-in freezers and coolers. There are thousands of these units that keep food product at the right...

This project will help determine the effectiveness of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in cold storage applications at Low Temperature -10 - 0 F (-23 - 18 C). Controls will also be implemented into the study to determine how compatible it is with PCMs. A total of 4 tests will be done on warehouses to...

In order to quantify the impacts of electric forklifts in outdoor applications and dispel the perception / misconception that electrics cannot perform in outside settings and adverse weather, EPRI intends to conduct electric outdoor forklift demonstrations at various locations. New learnings will...

Work with local refrigerated truck fleet to demonstrate energy demand profiles, costs and benefits. Use plug-in capabilities, truck/trailer mounted PV, batteries, to demonstrate environmental and cost benefits of using electric powered TRus as much as possible. Substitute R-404A refrigerant with...

This Project proposes to demonstrate the benefits of the installation of a wastewater treatment system designed to reduce the amount of energy and water consumed at a dairy. The demonstration results will identify pumping energy reduction, water savings, reduced water intake from wells through the...

Water-Energy efficiency to identify opportunities in pumping technologies & system(s) optimization and...

Frontier Energy conducted an Emerging Technology project to characterize the energy savings potential associated with gas-fired steam tables. The study included field monitoring of baseline and replacement steam tables in three representative restaurant test sites in the SoCalGas territory,...

Laboratory refrigeration has not been extensively studied, with the exception of ULT freezers.  The largest insight into the energy savings potential comes from the ENERGY STAR Product Specification for Laboratory Grade Refrigerators and Freezers, published in 2016.  Data from 14...

The craft brewing industry has experienced tremendous growth over the last 10 years and California—particularly San Diego—has been at the forefront of this wave. Unlike large breweries, small and mid-size craft breweries do not have the resources to dedicate to optimizing energy...
