Optimize central plant efficiency for industrial refrigerated warehouses. Then analyze the data and determine control changes that will minimize compressor operation and maximize plant output. Install sensors through warehouse to understand air flow and thermal distribution within each refrigerated...

This project seeks to evaluate a new technology being developed by leading manufacturers, that employs a high-lift centrifugal vapor compression to address the large building air-source hydronic heating market. This product seeks to replace fossil fired boilers in large buildings that currently do...

Work with local refrigerated truck fleet to demonstrate energy demand profiles, costs and benefits. Use plug-in capabilities, truck/trailer mounted PV, batteries, to demonstrate environmental and cost benefits of using electric powered TRus as much as possible. Substitute R-404A refrigerant with...

In order to quantify the impacts of electric forklifts in outdoor applications and dispel the perception / misconception that electrics cannot perform in outside settings and adverse weather, EPRI intends to conduct electric outdoor forklift demonstrations at various locations. New learnings will...

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the impacts of an all-electric retrofit home community(s) on the local distribution...

The objective of this project is to evaluate the performance in the laboratory of a new-to-market 120-gallon commercial Heat Pump Water Heater and its ability to provide hot water in a more efficient manner and with lower total emissions. This water heater has a COP of...

Demonstration platform to educate and demonstrate multiple emerging technologies for Indoor AG...

As part of SJV Pilot, SCE included a study to deploy HPWHs equipped with communication technology that will allow the water heater to be used as a grid-responsive heating technology element of the pilot to electrify homes and reduce emissions within the SJV. SCE hopes to gain insight into how...

The overall goal of this project is to promote low GWP water heating technologies for central system applications typically found in multifamily and commercial buildings, increasing load shifting capabilities using central water heating systems, and developing best practice guides that simplify the...

To help California reach SB1383 short-lived climate pollutant goals, this project will demonstrate the energy efficiency and environmental benefits of low GWP refrigerant based systems for walk-in freezers and coolers. There are thousands of these units that keep food product at the right...
