Blowers are widely used by industrial customers for various industrial processes. According to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s 2006 study, blower (and fan) consumes approximately 1,300 gigawatt hours (GWh) per year in SCE’s service area alone. This is fourth largest electric energy...

Field assessment of contact toasters for quick service restaurant applications. New contact toasters will replace two baseline units: one toaster for sourdough buns and one for regular buns. The new unit will eliminate the need for multiple heating elements. The expected outcome is validated energy...

The goal of this project is to establish a whole building M&V approach based on the short-time interval energy use data (collectively known as “M&V 2.0”) for the University and possibly Public Sector environment that is simple to apply but accurately captures real savings from existing conditions...

Predictive Energy Optimization acts as an automated supervisory control system for HVAC systems in commercial buildings, designed to reduce energy consumption, operating costs and CO2 emissions. It connects to most existing building management and control systems (BMCS) using industry standard...

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the impacts of an all-electric retrofit home community(s) on the local distribution...

Lab evaluation of combination ovens using ASTM standard test methods. Purpose of the study is to develop a database of energy performance metrics that can be used to develop and enhance work...

The purpose of this project is to perform a laboratory assessment of fault detection and diagnostics technologies (onboard and in-field) on a packaged rooftop unit air...

This project is being conducted to field test advanced lighting and lighting controls system design that will be appropriate and acceptable for typical executive suites. This project will examine the performance characteristics of highly controlled lighting systems in a real office environment...

Retrofit of three existing recreational facilities on a University campus to ZNE or near ZNE. Through the Demonstration Showcase project process the aim is to assist in addressing cost, installation, and performance issues as well as aid in the discovery of other potential barriers that could...

This system eliminates the central engine room, long piping runs and associated parasitic losses with a traditional ammonia-based system. All components are energy optimized, fully automated, remotely monitored and auto DR ready. This assessment looks at low temperature (-15'F) refrigerated...
