Decarbonization of the energy grid can get a boost from greater interactions and integration with building control system and their loads. Significant work over the last few years in this area has helped establish new requirements, standards and solutions. This session focuses on the key issues, current best practices, case studies and designing for interoperability, integration and interaction. Hear industry experts share about leading policy, regulation and pilot projects in California; the positive affects of building to grid integration; design and specification requirements; and how energy management information systems can facilitate buildings as a transactive energy integration hub.
