Free Webinar: GridOptimal: Outcomes and Lessons Learned from the First Pilot Project, January 30, 11 am PST (2 pm EST)
Event Description
The role of buildings in the grid is changing as historic grid infrastructure strains to handle more centralized and distributed renewables, electric vehicles, and smart systems. NBI and USGBC are leading the GridOptimal Buildings Initiative, a collaborative project bringing together a wide range of organizations interested in optimizing building performance to promote grid integration. The first GridOptimal pilot project has recently been completed, at the headquarters office building of Sonoma Clean Power. The design team will share how new considerations, such as hourly marginal carbon emissions, impacted the design process. Presenters will share key outcomes and lessons learned from this first pilot project.
