WATCH: Video Highlights Product Evaluation Hub
A new video highlights the work of the Product Evaluation Hub, a resource designed to help large commercial and institutional customers make informed decisions about advanced energy efficiency and energy storage products. Funded by the California Energy Commission, the Hub provides unbiased, side-by-side evaluations of products to guide purchasing decisions, offering comparisons to both industry standards and existing products.
With rigorous testing conducted by leading institutions like UC Davis, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and others, the Hub delivers clear, accessible data to promote the adoption of proven technologies that will reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions across California.
