Title:
Ultra-Low-Energy Buildings and Microgrids Tools for Resilience and Decarbonization
Description:
The key goal of this course is to introduce the building design and management professions to the relationships between buildings and the electric grid through the lens of microgrid design. The design of electrical grids is typically seen as the purview of electrical engineers working in the realm of infrastructure. Still, the success of localized microgrid networks lies in the ability to provide the outcomes desired by project owners and users—which increasingly include reliability and decarbonization as well as financial viability. The ability to deliver these outcomes depends on the magnitude and timing of the building loads that need to be met in conjunction with on-site renewable energy resources. This course will describe the building blocks of a successful resilient and/or decarbonizing building-focused electrical microgrid.
