Commercial-Sector Conservation Technologies

This report describes and documents selected commercial-sector energy conservation technologies and strategies with special emphasis on their application in the Pacific Gas and Electric and the Southern California Edison service territories. The primary topics are space cooling (equipment, loads, systems), air tranpsort, refrigeration, electric motors, electric lighting, and daylighting and fenestration. The report presents cost, energy and power savings, lifetime, product reliability, and related information for each of these topics. Documentation, with field performance data where possible, is also included. Secondary topics, (covered in substantially less detail) are energy management and control systems, natural gas cooking, and natural gas space heating equipment. Gaps in information and future research needs are also highlighted.
