This project is in phase 2F (field study phase) of a multi-phase field study pilot project for gas-fired heat pump water heaters & combination systems. Phase 1 of this pilot is already underway to address initial planning and data gathering necessary for phase 2F to launch. Phase 2F plans to have...

This project is part of a multiphase approach to explore the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) market potential and assess individual technologies impacts on for this customer segment. The first phase of this project is a market assessment of the various technologies and applications in use...

The California Air Resources Board and Southern California Edison recognized the need for robust primary research among key decision-makers to help California achieve the state’s ambitious climate goals – specifically through the adoption of zero-emission appliances such as heat pump water heaters,...

PG&E’s Demand Response Emerging Technology (DRET) Program initiated a residential Battery Study to investigate the potential to utilize residential photovoltaic solar systems paired with a home battery system to support state electric grid reliability. PG&E designed the study to learn...

This project is proposed to research and analyze the market of Infrared (IR) heating technologies to provide actionable recommendations of technologies and gaps for further study by the Statewide Gas Emerging Technologies (GET) program. This project will cover IR heating systems in industrial and...

The current California Building Standards Code, Title 24, does not include minimum ventilation requirements for residential heat pump water heaters (HPWH). Building owners across California are installing HPWHs in small closets without adequate ventilation, leading to high...

The 2022 C&S Planning and Coordination Key Initiatives Report presents the activities and achievements of the P&C subprogram in the program’s five elements: Decarbonization, Grid Harmonization, Code Harmonization, Strategic Planning and Coordination, and Program Coordination. For the...

This project will be an updated and broad approach to look at specific measures for enhancing the energy efficiency (EE) of boilers in CA IOU territory. Rather than focusing on boiler retrofits, which are already part of the IOU portfolio, this study will investigate the potential for add on and...

This project is phase 1 of a multi-phase pilot project for gas-fired heat pump water heaters & combination systems. This phase 1 project will do all the groundwork for the future phase 2 and 3 projects to install gas-fired water heating/combination equipment at various sites around California. ...

The project will research emerging Ultra-low NOx (ULN) Burner technologies to provide actionable recommendations of technologies and gaps for further study by the GET program. This project will research and evaluate cost-effective, efficient, and ultra-low emission burner technologies including...
