The modern electric grid and renewable energy growth demand that we no longer simply save electricity when it's convenient, but instead focus attention on when that kWh is being saved. There are ever-increasing economic and emissions benefits to reducing building energy demand -- or simply shifting it -- at certain times of day and season. This seminar presents the impacts of timing a building’s energy usage, savings, and load shifting. A variety of scenarios will be explored and specific examples given. Building designers and operators, especially HVAC and controls engineers, will learn about these benefits to their future building projects.
