Building automation systems monitor and control a building's lighting and mechanical systems. They operate in roughly half of all buildings of over 100,000 square feet in the U.S. Those systems are now being wired to talk to utilities, so the owners and occupants can participate in demand response and energy efficiency programs. Things are changing at light speed, as the links in this section attest.

The Secretary of Energy has identified several areas that constitute critical barriers to achieving national energy and climate goals while proving the most resistant to solutions by usual enterprise R&D. To overcome these barriers, the Department of Energy plans to launch eight "Energy Innovation Hubs" in fiscal year 2010, with each hub focusing on the a single problems. These hubs include fuels from sunlight, nuclear fuel management, energy efficient building systems, batteries and energy storage, solar electricity, novel carbon capture and storage, modeling and simulation for nuclear reactors, and electrical grid systems. This document provides an overview of the hubs and answers several common questions about their purpose, selection, funding, and management. |

This paper examines how utilities and the energy efficiency industry can design and implement a smart grid that achieves greater energy savings. While many years of research and development have focused on smart grid technologies, there is a gap in the awareness of how energy savings fits in. The author begins with an overview of the smart grid and its relation to energy savings, then discusses the hurdles for buildings to be able to interact with a smart grid. Next she emphasizes four ways in which energy savings can be achieved using smart grid infrastructure, and concludes with challenges and policy recommendations. |

A six-page summary of the results of retrofitting two government buildings with demand-response equipment to participate in a PG&E program that provides incentive payments. The project replaced all existing thermostats with wireless thermostats from Cypress Envirosystems. Although this case study was produced by the vendor, it provides an interesting overview of the savings possible by using wireless instead of wired thermostats. |
