The CEC awarded Willdan a $4 million grant to demonstrate emerging energy-efficiency technologies
through the Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC). Willdan developed three bundles of
pre-commercial technologies for the following spaces: laboratory and critical environments, office and
exterior spaces, and chilled water plants. These technologies will be demonstrated at the South Coast
Air Quality Management District headquarters facility in Diamond Bar, California to test scalability
in the larger California commercial market.
The featured technologies include chillers using a new refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone
layer; LED fixtures with integrated, advanced controls; an advanced building management system; direct
current lighting systems; advanced ventilation and laboratory fume hood exhaust systems; wirelessly
integrated plug load controls; and a platform capable of demand response.
