Project SummaryThis scoping study builds on the multi-agency Integrated Design Charrette for energy efficient data centers that took place February 2-3, 2003 at the Pacific Energy Center. Scoping work will focus on the areas of uninterrupted power supply (UPS), high efficiency cooling strategies,...

Project SummaryThe purpose of this project is to evaluate and compare the performance of two types of advanced evaporative coolers to the traditional evaporative cooler. The results will allow validation of energy savings and other manufacturer performance information. For more information, please...

Project Summary:Demonstrate and assess energy and demand savings impacts of the following technologies and design strategies at three sites in northern and central California: -Variable air volume (VAV) for exhaust hoods, including applicable controls, -Makeup introduced through backwall supply...

Project Summary:The current project uses 100% uplight luminaires installed with dimming ballasts and 5000K lamps. Users have the ability to adjust the lighting levels to match their own preference. Dimmed levels and energy usage are metered for individual users and compared to individual users...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts on avoided gas cost calculations from increasing hydrogen and biogas content in pipeline quality natural gas. California EE programs must meet Total System Benefit (TSB) and Total Resource Cost (TRC) metrics. Underlying the calculation of...

Infrared drying of walnuts has demonstrated to significantly reduce drying Not Reviewed times (by 25-35%) and energy usage. This involves moisture-based sorting and IR pre-drying of walnuts, followed by conventional hot air drying. The scope of this agile project comprises of literature review of...

This project is a field study of a Gas Absorption Heat Pump (GAHP) water heater. The GAHP is a gas-fired technology with a technology readiness level (TRL) of 9. This project falls into phase 2F (field study phase) of a multi-phase field study pilot project for GAHP water heaters & combination...

This project will test and quantify the emissions improvements and potential efficiency gains for the next-generation ClearSign M1 Ultra-Low-NOx burner operating on natural gas in addition to up to 30% hydrogen fuel (by vol.) added to natural gas.The potential energy savings and CO2 emissions...

The previous GET Study ET25SWG0004 – CFS SME Interviews highlighted a subset of high-potential gas-fired CFS technologies currently lacking incentive coverage. This project will expand upon those findings through a second round of targeted SME interviews, this time engaging manufacturers,...

This study aims to provide additional system performance testing for a prototype dual fuel hybrid heat pump for the residential sector. Developed by a major OEM, this 120 V heat pump is equipped with a gas combustion burner to maximize efficiency and performance. This eliminates the need for...
