Operating buildings to achieve comfort is challenging in the best of times, therefore it could be perceived as an insurmountable difficulty to use these buildings as assets to the electrical grid while still maintaining the occupants happy. This seminar seeks to address issues related to the integration of commercial and retail buildings into an interactive electrical network and present case studies of buildings that have successfully implemented automated demand response strategies. The issues addressed include communication between the building and the grid and the alternative control strategies that can be initiated to lower electrical demand following signals from the grid.
