Smart Energy Homes and Buildings 2021
The Transformation into Efficient and Flexible Grid Assets
The vision of a future where buildings operate dynamically with the grid to make electricity more affordable and provide multiple benefits for building occupants, customers, and utilities isn’t so far off. In fact, the concept is here now, poised for growth, and critical to meeting building decarbonization and carbon reduction goals across the Northeast region. Smart Energy Homes and Buildings 2021 will explore current policies, programs, and technologies that are successfully supporting the development of smart energy homes and buildings. The event will also address how Northeast states can continue to advance smart energy homes and buildings as a component of state building decarbonization strategies. Key stakeholders include federal program representatives, energy efficiency program administrators, implementation experts, research and development professionals, manufacturers, and facility managers.

Session One - Entering a New Decade of Smart Homes and Buildings Today’s electric grid is evolving to keep up with growing peak electricity demand, increased renewable electricity generation, and degradation of transmission and distribution infrastructure. While this is happening, the relationships between utilities, regulators, and customers are also changing. During this session, panelists will discuss the key drivers for these changing relationships and how grid management is transforming to keep pace with current technologies, regulations, and strategies that make homes and buildings smarter and more flexible.
