Got Demand Response? How Should Buildings Be Designed to Connect to the Smart Grid?
Standards, Guidelines and Codes
Orange Ballroom E (Hilton Orlando)
Chair:
Randall Higa, P.E., Southern California Edison
Technical Committee: 01.09 Electrical Systems
CoSponsor: 07.05 Smart Building Systems
Demand response (DR) is the ability to effect a short-term change in a facility’s electric demand due to actions on the building’s energy consuming systems. DR can provide value by addressing grid reliability or variations in renewable energy output. California’s Title 24 and IgCC Green Code require buildings to be capable of responding to DR events. There is interest in preparing a guideline for DR that could be incorporated into standards such as Standard 90.1 and 189.1. What should be the scope and structure of such a guideline? How should buildings be designed to connect to the smart grid?

Air Change Rates: Friend or Foe?
The Great Debate
Orange Ballroom G (Hilton Orlando)
Chair:
Kishor Khankari, Ph.D., AnSight LLC
Technical Committee: 09.11 Clean Spaces
Sponsor: TC 9.06, TC9.10
Air change rates (ACR) or air changes per hour (ACH) are often specified in many standards, codes and design guidelines as supply airflow requirements for healthcare, cleanrooms, laboratories and other similar facilities. A group of people who support such philosophy think it has been working successfully from several decades in making these spaces safe, comfortable and healthy. Another group thinks this legacy practice has a little scientific basis and is a burden on energy efficiency and cost of operation of HVAC systems. This session has an open debate on this issue. Active participation is required from the attendees.
