Integrating Smart Building Control Systems to Enable Grid Interactive Buildings

Feb. 13, 2024
Maximizing the sustainable and financial impacts of an on-site microgrid requires a coordination and interaction between the larger energy grids and buildings. This paper explains what it takes to make a grid-interactive building.

Buildings are a major contributor to global energy-related CO2 emissions. Efforts to achieve net zero emissions for buildings involve, in part, reducing overall carbon-based energy consumption and developing on-site microgrids. Maximizing the sustainable and financial impacts of these efforts requires a coordination and interaction between the larger energy grids and buildings. This paper explains what it takes to make a “grid-interactive building” or GIB and presents an example architecture.
