This review investigates the demand response (DR) and control capability of a Home Area Network (HAN) technology with Smart Appliances. Secondly, it discusses energy savings potential, ease of installation, and user feedback on the technology. This review describes in detail the technology and...

This project aims to identify available technologies suitable for automating demand response for small-medium commercial buildings; to validate the extent to which that technology does what it claims to be able to do; and determine the extent to which customers find the technology useful for DR...

The ZNE Home Retrofit (ZHR) Project is a demonstration showcase for residential users in order to disseminate information on energy solutions and encourage their widespread application. Demonstrate opportunities in building performance and energy use associated with a combined package of energy...

A small-scale market study was conducted to evaluate DR pilot credit implementation. The goal of this study is to understand if, and how, building owners, engineers, and consultants would take advantage of such a credit, and then provide feedback to utilities and the USGBC. As part of the USGBC...

Retrofit of three existing recreational facilities on a University campus to ZNE or near ZNE. Through the Demonstration Showcase project process the aim is to assist in addressing cost, installation, and performance issues as well as aid in the discovery of other potential barriers that could...

This project seeks to assess the functionality of two demand response (DR) assessment tools by gathering comments and feedback from Southern California Edison’s (SCE) Field Engineering group and other stakeholders regarding their field trial and evaluation of the tools. The project aims to...

Incorporating Demand Response (DR) capability at the building design stage not only optimizes the equipment and control system and increases the building operation effectiveness; it also avoids costs associated with retrofitting and implementing DR. This guide is aimed at providing information...

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate zero-net-energy (ZNE) or near ZNE by retrofitting several homes by applying energy efficiency measures, demand response enabling technologies, and renewable generation source. This is a field demonstration project consisting of simulation, identifying...

This project was developed to better understand how multiple integrated demand side management (IDSM) measures will impact a building demand profile, and ultimately the electrical grid. This report details the findings on how energy efficiency (EE), demand response (DR), distributed energy...

This Demand Response report looks at DR automation tools including; training, education, and load-analysis tools to coordinate power reduction...
