This report evaluates state-of-the-art and emerging building technologies that have significant potential to provide grid services. The report also identifies major research challenges and gaps facing the technologies as well as opportunities for technology-specific R&D. See Appendix A.1 Grid Services, which provides the market sizes addressable by demand flexibility in buildings for various grid services.

This report provides data-driven insights as the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) evaluates how to enhance DR’s role in meeting California’s resource planning needs and operational requirements. The study defines four types of grid services and their benefits (shed, shape, shift, shimmy/modulate) and estimates the potential size and cost of future DR resources for California's three investor-owned utilities (IOUs).

This report discusses factors that influence the development, operations, and potential value of a Connected Community, including case studies.

This fact sheet provides a short summary of the need for and characteristics of Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings.
