Grid-Integrated Buildings: Untangling Ourselves From the ‘Net’ in Net Zero

Objectives

1. Understand that when buildings use energy can be as important as how much energy they use.
2. Gain a working knowledge of intra-day and intra-annual patterns on the electrical grid.
3. Develop an understanding of the interrelation between building efficiency, renewable energy, and on-site energy storage.
4. Describe the role of building systems and occupant behavior in load shedding and load shifting.
