Engineers Newsletter Live:
Demand Response in Commercial Buildings

Advanced building designs and component technology continue to reduce loads and embrace features such as thermal mass to shift cooling and heating loads to more advantageous times of day. At the same time, utilities and campuses are increasing efforts to include renewable energy that require more advanced energy storage and demand response strategies to balance generation and consumption. Stretch codes and labelling programs have begun to specifically recognize building designs and operations that incorporate these features.

This program discusses the relevant improvements that load shifting and demand response can provide, with examples of the types of utility and funding programs that are available.

After attending you will be able to:

• Identify types of programs/capabilities that would be considered demand response
  
• Summarize where these programs are most likely available today and where new opportunities are forming
  
• Compare various financial programs that are available for demand response
  
• Summarize different strategies that can generate revenue and/or save energy cost 
  

Attendees will earn 1.5 AIA or GBCI/LEED Learning Units!
There is no fee for this course and lunch will be provided.
