The objective of this project was to monitor the in-situ performance of a VRF-HR (heat recovery) system and provide performance characterization based on the data recorded.  The site is a 4-floor PG&E office building in Auburn, California which is in California Climate Zone 11.  The...

This field study evaluated the demand response (DR) capability of advanced lighting control systems (ALCS) acting on backlit menu boards. Four types of ALCS were installed in five fast food restaurants. The ALCSs were from Daintree Networks, Enlighted, Acuity nLight, and WattStopper. Two sites used...

This study conducted field measurements to evaluate the Demand Response (DR) capabilities of four different advanced lighting controls systems (ALCS). This evaluation specifically relates to Light Emitting Diode (LED) interior lighting in fast food restaurants. The main objectives of the project...

This project was created to develop the National Advanced Lighting Controls and Certification (NALCAC) program. The NALCAC program is being designed to provide significant increases in energy efficiency (EE) and demand response (DR) capabilities in the lighting and advanced controls systems that...

This project was created to develop the National Advanced Lighting Controls and Certification (NALCAC) program. The NALCAC program is being designed to provide significant increases in energy efficiency and demand response capabilities in the lighting and advanced control systems that are designed...

The purpose of the project to demonstrate capabilities of AutoDR enabled OCSTs in light commercial settings. This phase will field test a different vendor than phase 1, at a different fast food...

The overarching Demand Response (DR) Appliance project is aimed at three types of residential appliances: refrigerators, dishwashers, and clothes washers. This report focuses on refrigerators manufactured by LG Electronics. Concurrent with this project, the U.S. Environmental Protection...

Phase change material (PCM) is a thermal energy storage device that utilizes its high storage density and latent heat properties to decrease the cooling load on the air conditioning unit. PCM appears in a variety of compositions of organic and inorganic materials. PCM products are being designed...

The project’s goal is to determine the feasibility of developing advanced lighting training and certification among all persons that are part of the process of providing lighting systems. In the case of electricians and contractors, CALCTP has already provided for this aspect of the project, and...

DC sanders are designed to replace traditional sanders that run on compressed air systems that are inefficient and waste energy. This technology is designed to improve reliability and energy efficiency across this application in commercial and industrial...
