Steamers, or steam cookers, are cooking appliances wherein heat is imparted to food in a closed compartment by direct contact with steam. The compartment can be at or above atmospheric pressure. The steam can be static or circulated. The purpose of this test is to use ASTM standard test methods to...

Evaluate the potential energy savings for using variable speed drives on evaporator fan motors in walk-ins under 3,000 square-feet. Also, evaluate factors affecting infiltration load in...

Evaluate an Evaporator Fan Delay controller for air conditioning...

This project involves Lab testing a total of 5 Deck ovens to ASTM standard F1965. ASTM standard F1965 measures preheat energy, idle energy, and heavy load cooking energy efficiency. Testing will be performed at the Foodservice Technology Center,...

The objectives of this project is to evaluate the market techniques used by three consultants to see if the information provided, by their expertise in market research, will better identify the key market intelligence needed to determine if a technology is a solid candidate for an ET Project, and...

This laboratory evaluation is aimed to evaluate the potential retrofit solutions available to replace existing fluorescent technology and magnetic ballasts with more efficient lighting solutions, such as light emitting diodes (LED). Energy savings will be analyzed while comparing the photometric...

This project is a paper study using computer (AGI-32) analysis of 4 exterior open lot (standard State of CA per CEC) lit (using baseline and new best practice best design) to IESNA and CA T24 standards; also analyzed with the National Model Lighting (MLO) and Dark Skies...

An indoor (unconditioned warehouse space) performance, energy savings, and reliability study of electronic dimmable metal halide (EDB)(CMH and psmh) ballasts. Laboratory testing of a matrix of lamp manufacturers/sizes and ballasts. Data on photo metrics, energy savings and detected failures for...

SCE conducted a two-pronged research study including a web survey among residential customers and twelve in-depth telephone interviews among industry decision-makers and thought-leaders. SCE’s study leveraged the broader, national effort performed by the Continental Automated Building...
