As part of the 2018-2019 presidential theme Building Our New Energy Future, ASHRAE partnered with the OpenADR Alliance and the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) to develop a smart grid guide for building professionals. Now published, the guide is a resource to help building professionals understand what is happening during the transformation to a smart electric grid and the opportunities they can take advantage of now and in the future when making decisions about the design and operation of their buildings. The guide provides a broad overview but also specific, actionable recommendations for building owners and operators.
