Current C&I Projects
C&I 2. Rheem H2AC Heat Recovery for Packaged RTUs Technology: Heat recovery by adding water cooled condenser coil
to existing air cooled roof-top air conditioner units (RTUs) to preheat water for use in commercial kitchens
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Rheem H2AC RTU heat recovery system for commercial kitchen hot water preheating. Information on energy savings, functionality, and implementation will aid in developing a future program
Deliverables: The project results will be presented in a final report aimed at informing future EE programs and market transformation.
Findings/Timing: Field testing is underway at three restaurants, started in Q1 2014. Final report will be transferred in 2015.

Current C&I Projects
C&I 4. Play Vista Commercial Near-ZNE Showcase Technologies: Integrating a 75 kW micro-CHP, Tecogen engine,
with a 62.5 kW solar PV system and 5 swimming pool heaters in a LEED Platinum facility; demonstrate energy generation and building end use in real-time using a dashboard and Internet
Purpose: Showcase gas has an important role in reaching the commercial ZNE aspirational goals set by the CPUC; demonstrate gas can work and compliment renewable and electric technologies; by real example support the associated policy making and codes & standard issues; partnering with the LADWP ETP peers.
Deliverables: Tecogen and dashboard to be installed; M&V to follow for 2 years.
Findings/Timing: The installation will be completed in Q2 2015. M&V annual report in 2015 and 2016.

Current C&I Projects
C&I 5. ENERGY STAR Fryers Scaled Field Placement Technology: Scaled field placement; testing EnergyStar & low oil
volume fryers that reduce natural gas use, extend life of oil, and reduce oil disposal costs
Purpose: The project will determine the energy savings potential and market barriers to energy efficient fryers by conducting field evaluations of various models in 17 commercial kitchens. To accelerate market transformation.
Deliverables: Final report on the findings of 17 field installations.
Findings/Timing: Final report is delivered in Q1 2015. 3 additional sites are tested in 2015.
Fryer rebate claims jumped from 209 in 2013 to 1,001 in 2014.

Current C&I Projects
C&I 6. Lang On-demand Stove-top Field Testing Technology: A new product, a commercial stove-top that
automatically shuts off the burner when the cooking utensil is removed.
Purpose: Field testing in 3 restaurants to determine the user behavior, market barriers, customer acceptance, and energy savings potential of the Lang 4- and 6-burner on-demand models.
Deliverables: Final report can help manufacturer improve product, and inform potential EE programs for incentive applications.
Findings/Timing: Preliminary results indicate about 20% savings. Field data collection is nearing completion. The final report was in Q4 2014.

KITCHEN OF THE FUTURE
High-efficiency foodservice appliances
• Concept Summary– A comprehensive assessment and demonstration project will validate the
energy savings of specific appliances at a commercial foodservice site and validate optimization techniques. Includes baseline measurement and operator feedback regarding cooking performance.
• SCG Market and Potential– Segment: Commercial (food service – new and retrofit)– Average Energy Savings: TBD– Market Potential: Restaurants account for 28% of all commercial sector gas
use (CEUS 2006); EE adoptions uncommon– Non-energy Benefits: Reduced HVAC system loads, occupant comfort,
reduced emissions
• Market and Project Development– Project Cost: ≈ $100,000– Installed Cost: ≈ $50-100,000 per site– Market Risk & Barriers: Upfront cost (industry purchases driven by
equipment price)– Payback: ≈ 2-5 years
• Technology Overview– Competing Manufacturers: Various– Time to Market: Currently available; energy efficient options available for
most types of foodservice appliances– Risk Factors: None identified
• Potential Approach & Program Synergies– GTI ETP project– Field study and demonStion – duration: 1 year
