Aug. 21, 2014: New Course on Demand Response Part of ASHRAE’s Fall Online Series
Peak Demand Management and Response Are Becoming More Important
ATLANTA — A new ASHRAE Learning Institute (ALI) course, Building Demand Response and the Coming Smart Grid, addresses new technologies and design concepts to help lead the way to how buildings and their systems will interact with the coming smart grid. The course is part of the ALI fall online series.
“Peak demand management and response are becoming more important in building systems and their control,” said Tom Lawrence, course instructor. “While demand management may not have much impact on the individual building total energy use, it may well be an effective tool for cost savings on electric utility bills. It also is vital for overall societal energy and environmental management. Thus, the considerations go beyond just one building’s energy cost and utilization.”
