“Building to Grid”: Enabling Buildings to Trade Their Energy

1. “Building to Grid”: Enabling Buildings to Trade Their Energy 11:00 am - 12 noon  Toby Considine Systems Specialist,Facility Services, University of North Carolina Chapel Hilland his online blog The New Daedalus Ken Sinclair, Editor/Owner Online Industry Magazinewww.AutomatedBuildings.com

2. “Building to Grid”: Enabling Buildings to Trade Their Energy • We and International Exposition, the producer of AHR Expo 2008, welcome you to Chicago. • It has been a stormy year of politics, economics and radical changes that cries for more change and reinvention of almost everything. • Our buildings must be green while presenting a financial blue bottom line of sustainable connected real estate. • Our existing stock of large buildings inNorth America, which uses 50% more energy than they should, presents a huge opportunity.

3. Who are we and why are we here? My name is Ken Sinclair, Editor/Owner This is Toby’s 2nd year and my 10th year doing these sessions. Toby is a contributing editor and writes a monthly column for our online magazine www.AutomatedBuildings.com Toby Considine Systems Specialist, Facility Services, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill

4. The vision of interactive buildings as full participants in the smart grid Building-to-Grid (B2G) interactions will create whole new business models outside buildings.Developing communication standards between building and grid will make the economic consequences of each operating decision visible.These communications will be critical to the development of Net Zero Energy (NZE) buildings. Economic service interactions will create new markets for building-based equipment and new models for building system integration.

5. B2G Events

6. Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 1:30 PM:B2G and Next Frontier for BACnet • Jack Mc Gowan President & CEO Energy Control Inc. moderator • David Holmberg NIST Building & Fire Research Lab Building Environment Division, Mechanical Systems and Controls Group • Ronald E. Jarnagin is a staff scientist and program manager at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

8. Cloud Computing is a name for putting computing servicesup in the wider network. • Traditional control systems have no clouds – only towers in the sky • For buildings, only the core processes, those elements on the traditional low voltage protocols such as BACnet and LON, are on the ground. • Enterprise energy monitoring and building control, then, are in the low lying cumulus clouds. A well architected system does not put the EMCS center in the center of any control loops. TCP/IP is by design a non-deterministic protocol, meaning it does not belong inside a control loop. Anything off the ground is in the clouds. Anything in the clouds should interact using internet protocols.

12. Today, building operation is a cost to be minimized, not source of income

13. Owners must manage risk before they will seek new revenue in energy trading

14. Learn standards-based interactions of autonomous agents to manage risk and open new markets

15. Today’s energy markets are dysfunctional because buildings aren’t full participants

16. Today's systems do things right rather than doing the right thing

17. Design for no complaints and using a fixed schedule

18. Most systems are designed in the field and discovered by the owner

19. Code compliance merely limits your revenue

20. Half of all energy generated is wasted due to poor coordination between buildings and grid

21. Wholesale power prices are regularly negative.

22. 17% of generation capacity is used for less than 110 hours/year.

23. Power suppliers are will pay to make DR fulfillment a top priority.

24. Process integration limits building response to grid.

25. We’ll operate efficiently when we get the signal

26. Building owners will limit risk of tenant dissatisfaction

27. Owners will avoid risks they cannot quantify.

28. New business models require autonomous agents using enterprise standards.

29. Only agents can defend building systems from enterprise programmers

30. Diversity and complexity are barriers to interoperability

31. Each building system must defend its mission.

32. Systems must offer up information of value Live burn rates IAQ Emergency Situation Awareness

33. Enterprise standards are quite different than control protocols HTML IMAP / POP3 SMTP URIs ASCII / Unicode TCP IP

34. Security and Identity are part of every transaction

35. Enterprise protocols rely on discovery and abstraction WS-DD and WS-DP oBIX

36. Business interactions will replace process integration BACnet Load Control Object OpenADR WS-Calendar

37. Building systems will become aware of scarcity and value

38. Optimize systems for real time cost as well as for service availability.

39. Intra-building markets can create self-managing load.

40. Building analytics can be cloud-hosted.

41. Micro-markets in energy will drive system adoption

42. Give leasing agents the language to sell service performance

43. Target revenue generation rather than cost avoidance.

44. Energy suppliers will demand DR Fulfillment

45. Live prices will be used to set optimum schedules.

46. Net-Zero Energy buildings will have internal markets for energy use

47. Greater system diversity requires simpler integration than we use today.

48. Schedule results rather than processes.

49. The building agent will be your personal day trader in new energy markets

50. Agile economic interactions will enable E-Tech
