Free Webinar Series: Both Sides of the Meter: GridOptimal Building Strategies
Event Description

Buildings are at the center of our energy systems and account for over 70% of US electricity consumption. To succeed in decarbonizing our grid, buildings and the systems within buildings can be part of the solution. These two classes will focus on the foundations to create and operate grid-interactive buildings to optimize their energy use and grid interactions. These strategies lead to resiliency, cost savings, and reduced carbon emissions.

After attending this program, participants will be able to:

  • Describe grid-interactive building demand management and why it is important
  • Identify the qualitative and quantitative value streams of GEBs
  • Evaluate building systems and technologies that support grid-interactivity
