From renewable energy resources to battery storage, building-grid interaction is an everyday event and HVAC designers and building operators must be able to design and operate the systems in the buildings to optimize this interaction. This seminar focuses on the next generation of HVAC system control strategies that allows buildings to interact with solar PV/battery storage/microgrid systems and the electric grid in an innovative and efficient way. An overview of the electric grid followed by several field and laboratory examples of different HVAC system control strategies to maximize grid reliability and building cost and energy savings are also presented.
