This webinar will provide and update on new Working Group resources and National Lab technical assistance.

New resources include:

• Guidance document to support state estimates of demand flexibility potential
• Guidance document to inform demand flexibility investments for state and local government office buildings, with supporting analysis that:
  • Identifies the highest value demand flexibility measures by U.S. region
  • Characterizes cost savings
  • Estimates cost and emissions reductions for a package of demand flexibility measures
• Technical brief on Pilot Considerations for Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings in Washington and a similar brief for Hawaii
• Technical assistance for Working Group members
  • Arizona Corporation Commission Staff - Review of draft request for proposals filed by Arizona Public Service for aggregated distributed demand-side resources
  • Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection - Opportunities to incorporate efficiency and demand flexibility into utilities’ Conservation and Load Management plans
  • Public Service Commission of Wisconsin - Opportunities to use energy efficiency and demand flexibility toward achieving the state's zero-carbon goals.

There will be time for questions and discussion at the end of the presentations. We will also ask for your input on additional topics for peer-to-peer sharing, guidance documents or technical assistance, such as incorporating demand flexibility in energy efficiency resource standards, appliance standards, state goals for carbon dioxide reductions and energy efficiency portfolios.
