There have been many national and state level efforts on building energy codes, standards, byelaws, and renewable energy policies. Simultaneously, efforts towards decarbonizing, decentralizing, and digitizing the grid of the future are underway. Recently, we have witnessed developments such as the emergence of real time energy markets, new tariff policies, and draft rights of electricity consumers.
This dialogue brings in a global perspective on cutting-edge strategies, utility program approaches, and opportunities in the fast-developing building-grid integration space. Smita Gupta and Alexi Miller from USA’s New Buildings Institute discuss behind-the-meter distributed energy resources, utility program best practices, design and operational building strategies, and key barriers to expanding demand flexibility and time-of-use targeted energy efficiency in buildings.
