The project on Cost-Effective Demand Response (CEDR) seeks to introduce a novel demand response (DR) lighting control technology that can be easily retrofit to existing buildings. This project will develop a new system capable of receiving a utility demand reduction signal and transmitting, over the building power lines, a load-shed signal to multiple receiver devices. The outcome of the project is the development and commercialization of a novel demand responsive lighting technology. CEDR takes a low-tech approach, doing only one simple task inexpensively-reducing loads during DR conditions.

Key project members are the CLTC, NEV Electronics, and SCE
