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...

The purpose of this project is to test and assist in market adoption and integration of high efficiency air containing units optimized for use in arid climates of the south-western United States. (Climate Zones 10 and 14). Promote air conditioners specifically selected to perform well at hot dry...

LED pool lighting is an energy efficient technology that lights up the swimming pool while using less energy than incandescent lamps. Previous Emerging Technology study (ET10SCE1130) logged commercial pool operating hours that was pretty typical of most commercial pools; dusk to dawn or dusk to...

Online Integrated Demand Side Management service that incents consumers to conserve energy by leveraging social networks and social gaming. The internet-based platform enables social gaming (and other internet-based) companies to gain new revenue streams by trading their in-game currency for...

A hybrid AC and DC platform that is being designed as an open architecture focused on reducing or eliminating inefficient AC to DC conversions between power sources and light sources by converting and distributing power in DC. This platform is designed to improve reliability and energy efficiency...

The Project is to evaluate the market readiness of manufacturers and installers in supporting the energy savings and ventilation system benefits. The DCV project will perform product testing of multiple suppliers at various market segments to identify any additional technology updates for incentive...

This field evaluation tests the feasibility of integral PIR occupancy sensors coupled to LED exterior (structure and pole mtd) luminaires for dusk-dawn...

The blower power depends upon three variables: flow rate; pressure, and efficiency. The design of an energy efficient blower depends upon two main factors: shape of impeller and shape of blower housing that minimize pressure losses. The conventional blower’s (i.e., incumbent technology) efficiency...

Evaluate a new piece of cooking equipment. At least one manufacturer has built a prototype to replace the existing unit, testing is needed to compare performance based on efficiency and dissipation of heat to the surrounding space. In addition, this study will be determining the proper sizing of...

Occupancy-controlled luminaires have proven to have significant energy-saving potential in exterior applications such as residences, parking garages, parking lots, and pedestrian walkways. As a result, California utilities are deploying this approach throughout their service territories. To be able...
