The Energy Future is Smart: Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings

Missed the Webinar? Scroll Down for a Recap!

To reach our 100% clean energy targets, we must remake our buildings into a flexible energy resource.  

 Grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) combine energy efficiency and demand flexibility with smart technologies and communications to deliver greater affordability, comfort, productivity and high performance to our homes and commercial buildings.  

 The U.S. Department of Energy recently released a “National Roadmap” for GEBs, but where does the rubber meet the road? 

 Join us in conversation with roadmap authors Andy Satchwell and Ryan Hledik, alongside GSA Green Proving Ground’s Kevin Powell and LADWP’s David Jacot for a wide-ranging discussion on: 

  • Where we are now 

  • What we have learned so far 

  • How we can get started


Key Takeaways

  • GEBs benefit both utilities and landlords: Select a site with utility rates and incentives that favor GEBs.

  • Identify GEB measures early: Integrate GEB measures within major building renovations when possible. Most technologies needed to deliver a GEB already exist.

  • Consider methodologies carefully: Consider GEB measurement and verification methodologies with care.
