120-volt plug-in heat pump water heaters (HPWHs) are a proven, market-ready technology offering significant decarbonization potential as emergency replacements in the small medium business market. It is estimated that 90% of water heating replacements occur on an emergency basis. Without an easy,...

The proposed project will evaluate patent-pending compressor controller technology through a field demonstration. The field demonstration entails installing the technology onto an existing VRF system with inverter-driven compressor to understand its potential energy savings. Technology is...

Smart electrical panels, an emerging product category, can provide a number of energy efficiency and electrification benefits to single family residential buildings. These panels replace or augment typical electrical panels and include monitoring and control capabilities of each individual...

A previous CEC funded project ( https://cltc.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk12206/files/media/documents/LDA-June-2022-Edit.pdf) has demonstrated the potential of a fiber optic, solar-tracking core daylight system to deliver natural lighting into the building at ~620 lumens/watt at a maximum length...

The proposed project is a demonstration of an emerging high efficiency heat pump product for multifamily space conditioning applications. This project will demonstrate the application of Double Ducted Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps (DDPTHP) in a low-income multifamily new construction project in the...

The proposed technology is a residential/ small commercial heat pump (~3-5 tons capacity) that cascades a thermoelectric (TE) heat pump with a conventional air-source heat pump. This heat pump will (a) Boost capacity and COP at colder outside air temperatures, (b) Reduce peak demand by eliminating...

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...

GFO-20-303 Group 3  Address the problem of poor exterior lighting conditions in low-income and disadvantaged communities by developing, testing, and demonstrating a reliable, affordable, hybrid solar LED light that optimizes charging based on grid conditions while providing deep energy...

Demonstration platform to educate and demonstrate multiple emerging technologies for Indoor AG...

The Clean Energy Optimization Pilot (CEOP) was authorized in 2019 by the California Public Utilities Commission. CEOP was designed to incentivize seven participating university campuses to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through performance payments calculated based on electric and gas meter...
