Strategy and Modeling for Building DR Optimization

October 17, 2011
Author(s)
Richard Lau, Sami Ayyorgun, Siun Chuon Mau, Archan Misra, David Holmberg, Steven T. Bushby
While it is well recognized that renewable microgrid generation and intelligent storage can significantly reduce a building's need for grid power and its peak loading, there is currently no sound and generalized approach to combine these two technologies

Building Information Exchange for Fire Responders Workshop: Proceedings

March 26, 2010
Author(s)
Jason D. Averill, David G. Holmberg, Alan B. Vinh, William D. Davis
Presently, there is no integrated solution for delivering building data into the hands of emergency responders. Technically, there are many challenges to collect, format, process, integrate and transport building data out of the building. Beyond this, the

Connecting Buildings to Public Safety Networks

February 25, 2010
Author(s)
Alan B. Vinh, David G. Holmberg
The operation of modern commercial buildings uses digital control systems which monitor a vast amount of sensors. These sensors in turn produce data that is available for building control but also can be mission-critical for effective emergency response

NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 1.0

January 10, 2010
Author(s)
George W. Arnold, David A. Wollman, Gerald FitzPatrick, Dean Prochaska, David Holmberg, David H. Su, Allen R. Hefner Jr., Nada T. Golmie, Tanya L. Brewer, Mark Bello, Paul A. Boynton
Under the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is assigned "primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for

BACnet and the Smart Grid

November 1, 2009
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, Steven T. Bushby
The future Smart Grid will be a transformation of the current electric grid. The key enablers for this transformation will be dynamic rates and the ability for customers and the utility to communicate and respond in real time. This in turn will produce an

Connecting Buildings to Public Safety Networks

July 13, 2009
Author(s)
Alan B. Vinh, David G. Holmberg
The operation of modern buildings can support a vast amount of static and real-time data. Static information such as building schematics is vital for security and rescue purposes. First responders can be notified of designated building alerts in real-time

Connecting Buildings to Public Safety Networks (conference paper)

Alan B. Vinh, David G. Holmberg
The operation of modern commercial buildings uses digital control systems which monitor a vast amount of sensors. These sensors in turn produce data that is available for building control but also can be mission-critical for effective emergency response

Advancing Automated Demand Response Technology

January 28, 2009
Author(s)
Steven T. Bushby, David G. Holmberg
For several years electric utilities have implemented a wide variety of programs to curtail load in times of stress on the electricity distribution grid or on generating capacity. Although these programs have shared a common goal of reducing peak

Facility Interface to the Smart Grid

December 31, 2008
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg
Homes, commercial buildings and the industrial sector together represent 100 percent of the load on the electric grid. Beyond load, these facilities provide a growing amount of electric generation and storage in the form of distributed energy resources

Building Networks and Public Safety Communications

November 18, 2008
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, Stephen J. Treado, William D. Davis, Steven T. Bushby, Alan B. Vinh, Michael A. Galler, R Vettori
The Building Networks and Public Safety Communications project has three components: (1) addressing feasibility of using building networks for bridging first responder radio communications into buildings, (2) recommending changes to the SAFECOM Statement

Energy Systems Management and Greenhouse Gas Reduction

April 6, 2008
Author(s)
Stephen J. Treado, David G. Holmberg
The efficient use of energy provides the double benefits of controlling both energy costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The industrial sector comprises about one third of United States GHG emissions, so presents an attractive opportunity for

BACnet for Utilities and Metering

April 1, 2008
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, Steven T. Bushby, James J. Butler
The BACnet standard has been expanded to include new object types that are intended for metering and demand management applications, as well as a web services specification that allows any outside service provider access to BAS data. Since the most common

BACnet at Georgia Tech

November 1, 2007
Author(s)
Donald Alexander, Cornelius Ejimofor, David Holmberg
The Van Leer building at Georgia Tech was selected for a pilot project to study the feasibility of using an RTP-based temperature setback approach to energy savings for the campus. Georgia Tech saved approximately 7000 kWh of power and $1000 using the RTP

BACnetRG at Georgia Tech.

November 1, 2007
Author(s)
David G. Holmberg, D P. Alexander, C Ejimofor
Large facility owners generally negotiate yearly or multiyear electric service agreements and often are given lower base rates in exchange for sharing the risk of price fluctuations. This agreement may take the form of a capped rate, or may go as far as a
