Load Management Dialogue |
NEW OPTION! Subscribe to PLMA Load Management Dialogue via iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts . Details at www.peakload.org/podcast
Discover wh y the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Building Technologies Office is exp anding its research to validate grid-interactive efficient buildings as a g rid resource. Gain insights regarding key findings on grid-interactive effi cient buildings research and future opportunities.
The dialogue will focus on a significant investment planned by DOE in Connected Communities. As used here, the term Connected Community is a group of grid-interactive e fficient buildings with diverse, flexible end use equipment that collective ly work to maximize building and grid efficiency without compromising occup ant needs and comfort. The goal of a proposed Funding Opportunity Announcem ent is to demonstrate the ability of groups of efficient buildings to provi de additive benefits to the electricity system and building owners includin g energy savings, peak demand reduction, reduced capacity needs, and cost s avings. DOE intends to expand its initial set of smart community testbeds i nto a larger cohort of regional pilot projects to study a variety of buildi ng types, technologies, and business models in varied utility regulatory en vironments, climates, and locations.

David NemtzowU.S. De partment of EnergyDavid Nemtzow is the Building Technologies Office Director of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). H e previously served as the team's senior strategist. David brings to EERE m ore than three decades of experience in the industry, including running a l arge state government energy and water department, a prominent bipartisan n onprofit energy efficiency association, and an energy consulting practice. Before serving in his current role, he was director-general (CEO) of the De partment of Energy, Utilities, and Sustainability for New South Wales―Austr alia's most populous state―where he played a central role in the state's el ectricity, greenhouse, energy, and water strategies and policies. He also s erved as president of the Alliance to Save Energy. In addition, he has been a member of the executive committee of a distributed energy storage startu p company, an independent energy consultant, and a senior congressional ene rgy staff member. |
