Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings and Connected Communities
This session introduces the concept of Grid-interactive Efficient Building (GEB), and GEB characteristics and its control platform architecture. Next, a GEB pilot test case utilizing an open-source VOLTTRON platform is presented to illustrate its key features and capabilities. Later in the session, several DOE-connected communities program projects are highlighted, and a detailed example of the connected communities project led by Slipstream is given to illustrate the GEB implementation process and challenges encountered.
