The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) contracted with GTI Energy to conduct parametric modeling simulations for different configurations of natural gas and electric water heaters used in commercial water heating systems. Parameters simulated as part of the study included three typical commercial building types (hotel, restaurant, multifamily) over four Northwest climates (Boise, Missoula, Portland, Seattle).…

The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the detection performance and spatial coverage characteristics of outdoor occupancy sensors used in street and area lighting applications under controlled outdoor test conditions. The research characterized how different sensing technologies responded to different road-user types, movement relative to the sensor, ambient temperatures, and mounting heights. Understanding…
