The smart electricity grid is developing and advancing, buildings and the built environment will work more closely with the electricity supplies. Communication will be two-way, with the utility working to balance supply and demand on the electric grid through methods such as signaling requests for demand response measures, real-time price adjustments, etc. This is an evolving area and while there some differences are In terms of the need for and how a smart grid could function in different parts of the world, there are also some common factors. This seminar provides an overview of the smart grid, especially as it relates to buildings and their systems, and includes material and topics described in ASHRAE's Smart Grid Application Guide.
