A New Paradigm for Smart and Connected Buildings to Address Utility Grid Stress
By Lian Plass, Kara Kokernak in Urban Land
A new breed of buildings is emerging that are not only energy efficient but can actually interact with the power grid in real-time. These grid-interactive efficient buildings represent the cutting edge of sustainable real estate, promising reduced energy costs, improved resilience, and a smaller carbon footprint. Buildings are acting as “good grid citizens” to help curb peak demand stresses on the grid while reducing their own utility charges at the same time.
