The building sector, who accounts for around 40% of energy consumption and 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., play an important role in the transition to a low-carbon power system. This trending topic will explore how smart design and control of buildings and communities can be leveraged to achieve our low-carbon goals. Topics include energy efficient systems in buildings, renewable energy resources in buildings, building grid integration, low-carbon communities, and grid-integrated transportation.
