Buildings as Grid Assets

Home Buildings as Grid Assets

The GridWise Alliance theme for August is “Buildings as Grid Assets.” According to the US Department of Energy, grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) combine energy efficiency and demand flexibility with smart technologies and communications to inexpensively deliver greater affordability, comfort, productivity and high performance to America’s homes and commercial buildings. GEB’s can become a major asset to the grid by providing load reduction, demand flexibility and potentially other grid services. DOE’s roadmap for GEBs estimates that the benefits of GEB’s could range between $8 and $18 billion a year by 2030, and cumulatively between $100 and $200 billion by 2040, and would also result in significant CO2 emission reductions.

Truly grid-interactive buildings will require a range of technologies on both sides of the customer meter (see figure from DOE GEB roadmap), some of which are currently commercially available and some are in the R&D stages.

Useful Information

Will be included near months end as its produced.

Key Questions We Are Answering

What technologies are needed to enable buildings to act as grid assets, including technologies that provide data or analytics, enhance visibility of buildings on the grid, support grid stability, and improve customer engagement?

What barriers are there to deploying these technologies, and what levels of deployment are under way?

Are there broadly accepted frameworks or recognized layers for integrating buildings as grid assets?

What case studies highlight building-to-grid integration as either cutting edge or strong examples?

What regulations, policies, or codes might be key to consider in this space?

What are the implications of FERC Order 2222, net zero codes, stretch codes, or others on the development of a national network of GEBs?

What are the challenges to deploying real-time, automated communications to end-use devices and grid equipment that will enable the digital grid?
