Plugging the Plug Load Data Hole
November 5, 2012 | Updated: May 8, 2013
Plug loads are huge energy hogs, but it’s often difficult to find comprehensive and reliable data on how different plugs loads use energy. To solve this problem, we’ve compiled hundreds of results from a wide range of plug load reports into a single spreadsheet.

Packaged Cooling Technologies Selection Matrix
December 13, 2012
To ease the challenge of sorting through the myriad of packaged cooling equipment options, we’ve created a spreadsheet that provides a quick, high-level overview of data needed to evaluate equipment, such as efficiency and capacity levels, pricing, applicable sectors, and links to test reports.

Air-Source Electric Heat Pumps
December 17, 2009
Air-source electric heat pumps are year-round space-conditioning systems capable of providing heating, cooling, and domestic hot water in a single piece of equipment. They often offer a lower capital cost and lower operating cost than electric resistance heating and, in some cases, gas heating.

Cool Thermal Storage for Unitary Air Conditioners
July 17, 2009
After a decade of development, ice storage for small unitary air conditioners is still expensive but has the potential to be competitive with several utility-scale electricity storage technologies. It remains to be seen if the latest generation of equipment can live up to manufacturer projections.

Occupancy Sensors
October 15, 2007
Occupancy sensors detect the presence or absence of people and turn lights on and off accordingly. Used properly, occupancy sensors can be a cost-effective tool for reducing the operating time and/or light output of lighting systems, cutting energy consumption and peak demand.
