Draft Scope

The CHP, Multi-Building Systems, and Grid Integration Working Group includes CHP technologies, on-site and off-site generation, and the systems needed to support thermal and electrical integration of those and other technologies for large campuses and multi-building systems. It also includes smart grid and ICT, grid connectivity for integrated renewable technologies, and net metering. Members may include utilities, building owners and operators, information and communications technology groups, and renewable energy groups.

Defining the energy footprint of a single building vs a cluster of buildings – are the performance metrics different?
Do the tools and decision processes available today allow for consideration of multi-building systems in an integrated design process?
What are the technical and non-technical challenges to integrating on-site and/or grid-connected wind, solar, geothermal, biomass resources at the building and multi-building levels?
How do the opportunities for multi-building systems differ in new large-scale developments vs. existing communities? How can we design new developments today to more easily allow for future multi-building systems
What are the sources and uses for thermal energy recovery and exchange (with or without power generation) at the building, campus, and district levels?
What is a useful framework for optimizing active and passive energy storage (thermal and electrical) at the building, multi-building, and grid scales?
What features are needed for future buildings to allow for on-site vehicle charging and active use of electric and fuel cell vehicles as a power generation or load management resource?
