Grid-Interactive Solutions for Sustainable Electrification
As large-scale electrification and decarbonization accelerate, it's critical to mitigate the impacts of increased demand to the grid. This session will explore the role of grid-interactivity measures in new construction or major renovation building projects, to shift and curtail electric demand. We will evaluate the feasibility of these measures and scale them up from building to grid level, and address implementation barriers and strategies to improve the value proposition of large-scale electrification.

This session is approved for 1 credit hour toward AIA (LU), BOC, LEED (BD+C), and NAHB certification. Those who attend a full day of the conference are additionally eligible for credit toward MA CSL, NARI, PHI, Phius, and RESNET certification.
Learning Objectives:
- Examine the impact of combining grid-interactivity measures on buildings’ net impact to the electrical grid
- Assess the feasibility of implementing these measures at the building level and the costs/benefits of scaling these practices at the grid level
- Identify barriers to adopting grid-interactive solutions
- Employ strategies to improve the value proposition of large-scale electrification and address barriers to adoption
