Distributed Energy Resources (DER) are essential systems with a Grid-interactive Efficient Building (GEB). This session introduces DERs, their interconnection, common codes and standards, and typical communication. The following DERs are covered in more detail: Solar PV, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and Managed EV charging. Finally, GEBs are introduced and discussed for deeper exploration in future sessions.
This session covers networked lighting controls and HVAC integration. More specifically, the session begins with interior lighting types and controls, then segues into networked lighting controls, their capabilities, architecture and a version known as luminaire level lighting controls. The session concludes with a discussion of the integration of networked lighting controls with HVAC controls, the benefits, basics, control sequences, and lessons learned from several demonstrations.
