As part of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, NIST was given primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems. ASHRAE and NEMA accepted the challenge to develop this standard and established SPC 201P to develop a Smart Grid Facility Information Model that creates a common basis for electrical energy consumers to describe, manage and communicate electrical energy consumption and forecasts. This seminar presents background information on the development of this standard and a vision on how this standard will be applied within smart homes and buildings.
