This project had two primary goals: - To examine the performance characteristics of highly controlled lighting systems in a real office environment in terms of comparison to applicable codes, and -To evaluate the ability of the OTF Consortium framework to deliver a highly controlled solution...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the energy use associated with air conditioning hotel guest rooms under three different control strategies:Baseline: the digital thermostat was manually controlled by the guestOccupancy Controls: DDC thermostat with integrated occupancy sensor and energy...

 In this study, potential concepts were tested with building owners and other stakeholders at a large, chain hotel in San Francisco to see what would spur interest in aggressive (more than 30 percent) energy savings...

This project involves Lab testing a total of 8 (half size (4) and full size (4)) electric convection ovens to ASTM standard F1496. ASTM standard F1496 measures preheat energy, idle energy, and heavy load cooking energy...

Project SummaryAutomated Hybrid Demand Control and Demand Response in Commercial Accountsstudies the energy and demand reduction potential and their economics of an advanced building controller technology that integrates with 3rd party BMS or EMS. The technology is different from traditional demand...

Project SummaryConvection ovens are general-purpose (standard) ovens used to cook food products by forcing hot dry air over the surface of the food product. They originated from standard ovens and were developed to increase food preparation time as well as solve the problem of uneven heat...

Project SummaryThe Office of the Future (OTF) program is a new energy efficiency approach supported by a consortium of some of the nation’s largest and most progressive energy utilities. OTF targets existing multi‐tenant commercial office buildings with packages of advanced energy efficiency and...

Project SummaryThis Office of the Future pilot project collects measured energy use from on-the-ground installations. A stepped baseline, starting with existing conditions, allows Measurement and Verification (M&V) investigations into the contribution of savings from lighting and lighting...

Project Summary SCG collaborated with CEC-PIER to develop natural gas energy efficiency calculators.The calculators will be utilized to capture potential energy savings projects and calculate carbon emissions reduction based on savings. Approximately 12 tools are accompanied by multiple...
