Research Grid Interactive Efficient Building Program Guidebook for Utilities Grid-interactive efficient buildings use smart tech and on-site energy resources to offer demand flexibility, reduce costs, provide grid services, and meet occupant needs Strategic planning is critical to design grid-interactive efficient buildings programs Features manageable steps that small to medium-sized utilities can take, including how to assess the opportunity, coordinate efforts, and prepare for new programs The objective of the Grid Interactive Efficient Building Program Guidebook for Utilities is to help small- to midsize electric utilities learn about grid-interactive efficient buildings, the types of benefits they offer to customers and the utility, and how this new way of managing building energy use relates to customer programs that utilities may already offer. Getting to grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) is a journey that will take time, and many utilities are just getting started. This guidebook also outlines how utilities can begin the process of establishing or even combining the basic building blocks of GEBs to prepare for the future. The guidebook focuses on manageable steps that smaller utilities can take today to develop these programs in a way that leverages their unique context, capabilities, and objectives while also addressing potential constraints. SEPA developed this guidebook in partnership with WPPI Energy, a member-owned, not-for-profit joint action agency serving 51 locally owned electric utilities in Wisconsin, Iowa and Upper Michigan. This Guidebook was developed with support from the American Public Power Association’s Demonstration of Energy & Efficiency Developments program. Popularly known as DEED, the program funds research, pilot projects, and education to improve the operations and services of public power utilities.
