THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE
The accurate valuation of thermal energy storage devices is important for both resource adequacy planning and providing proper financial compensation for the service that they provide. Since system capacity values in electric power transactions...
INDOOR FARMS
In order to remove moisture and heat generated by plant transpiration and lighting, indoor farming operations require dehumidification and sensible cooling. However, the ratio of dehumidification to sensible cooling needed exceeds typical requirements for residential or commercial buildings. Energy intensive dehumidification systems...
The Western Cooling Efficiency Center (WCEC), an engineering research center at the University of California, Davis, has received a grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to demonstrate promising approaches to improve ventilation, indoor air quality, and energy efficiency in California classrooms...
