Buildings represent a large energy storage resource. Real-time and day-ahead market pricing can be used to evoke appropriate responses to a supplier's need for demand relief by solving an optimization problem in which the objective is to minimize some combination of energy, cost and discomfort. The potential for demand response is also influenced by equipment size and performance characteristic and the capacity of thermal storage. Thus one is given a design optimization problem as well as an optimal control problem and many system parameters to consider.
