Technology Integration and Deployment

D+R’s leadership in the field of emerging technology evaluation has enabled our team to become experts in water pumping, phase change materials, refrigeration systems, and ADR-enabled connected devices. Examples of our work include:

Phase Change Materials Evaluation

In 2016, D+R evaluated phase change materials to establish the potential demand, energy savings, and thermal energy storage and permanent load shifting potential. We identified three cold storage facilities with different scheduling needs and solar capabilities as test sites for the phase change materials. We worked with each site, collecting and analyzing data to measure and verify savings and determine best practices for installation.

Industry Standard Practice (ISP)

Since 2011, D+R has successfully completed over 30 Industry Standard Practice Studies ranging from oil extraction and wastewater treatment to industrial process improvements.  These studies require extensive research into unique energy saving technologies and how they impact their respective markets.  Results of the ISP studies can be used to validate energy saving programs and determine if they are achieving the desired impact.
