Project SummaryA market test was conducted on behalf of Southern California Gas Company (SCG), Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E), and San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) in late summer/fall 2008 to assess the value of promoting the use of coldwater detergent as a...

Project SummaryPlastic resin has to be dried to set moisture level prior to feeding into injection molding, blow molding, or other extrusion machines.  The conventional drying technology is to use a twin bed descant dryer for this purpose.  The twin bed is for one bed to be in drying mode...

Project SummaryThis report summarizes the installation and assessment of linear lighting systems of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) at an international retail chain location in Northern California. Relying primarily on field testing, the project team conducted photometric and power measurements, as...

Project SummaryOffice of the Future looks across a spectrum of technologies and energy factors including thermal comfort, lighting systems, building envelope, plug loads and overlays economic and human factors analysis on traditional engineering and product improvement efforts. The resulting models...

Project SummaryThe purpose of this Outdoor Lighting Symposium was to bring together researchers and stakeholders to identify and address key issues in efficient outdoor lighting, particularly in the arena of outdated lighting standards. One of the key goals was to begin the process of generating...

This project is aimed at evaluating Bi-level Hybrid Fluorescent LED Lighting for Stairwells and Covered Parking as an energy efficiency measure. The project will field test fixtures to determine the potential for energy...

The objective of the lab evaluation project is to assess the incremental energy savings and demand reductions of using LED SDLs over incandescent and fluorescent PAR30 floodlight lamps. Screw-in Directional lighting, or Screw-In Directional Lamps (SDL), refer to lamps with halogen, fluorescent, or...

This project assesses the energy and demand savings potential of LED technology in residential downlighting applications through lab evaluations and field monitoring of actual kitchen usage...

The objective of this study was to assess the status of the light-emitting diode (LED) under-cabinet lighting and measure incremental energy and demand savings over their T8 linear fluorescent and incandescent counterparts. Photometric and power tests will be conducted in the Southern California...

Evaluate the performance of standard and high efficiency A/C units at hot and dry conditions. The assessment involved testing pairs of 3-ton split and 5-ton RTUs. Each pair consisted of standard and high efficiency...
