Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology offers energy savings potentials and performance over incandescent and Compact Fluorescent (CFL) technologies. There are regulatory pressures to promote the use of LEDs, however LED lighting technologies rely on the use of electronic power supplies or...

This project is intended to begin the process of creating a certification training course for lighting planners and designers. Designed a core rationale, process and expectations on the development of the curriculum and initiate lessons'...

Bi-level stairwell lighting is an underutilized technology that uses occupancy sensors to switch between higher light output (when the space is occupied) and lower light output (when the space is unoccupied) to save energy. The purpose of this testing is to validate the performance of a new...

As part of PG&E’s Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Pilot Program, De Young Properties designed and built a single story 2,064 square foot single family home located in Clovis, CA. It was built in 2013 and used as a model home until 2018 when it became occupied. All loads were monitored for the first...

The primary objective of this project was to demonstrate energy savings in the small and medium sized business sector by means of low-cost technology retrofits that leverage advances in intelligent advices and lower-cost networked controls. The primary project learnings showed:Recruiting SMB...

Phase 2 of the project started begun ET13PGE1313 in which the market readiness of available building analytics was researched, and recommendations for evaluation of these products were made.  This project will deliver and demonstrate a testing criteria and protocol for energy management...

This project is a field study evaluating the potential and current DR capabilities of climate-appropriate air-conditioning (AC) systems. Targeted DR and EE programs can help reduce high peak demand caused by increased AC use and address uncertainties with respect to generation and consumption...

Data centers, spaces that house computers, have been considered by utilities to be a good candidate for energy efficiency improvements, due to their high energy intensity. Yet the Demand Response (DR) load impact capabilities and participation in utility programs of data centers have not been fully...

The purpose of this project is to evaluate efficiency/performance of residential variable capacity heat pump (VCHP) systems. These are "traditional American-style" high static ducted systems. There will be one to two systems from three to five...

This project, a part of EPRI Subproject G, is selecting and testing a sample of these technologies, both in the lab and in the field, to determine the ability of these technologies to meet SCE’s demand-reduction...
