What is demand response ?
u Demand Response involves consumers shifting or reducing their electricity usage during peak periods in response to time-based tariffs & other financial incentives
Slide 5
Smart buildings for a greener Europe: Emerging Policy and Practice, Energy Performance of Buildings Concerted Action workshop, Malta, Feb 14, 2017
Implicit
u Time-varying electricity prices or grid tariffs that reflect the value & cost of electricity and/or transportation
Explicit
u Direct payments to change consumption/demand or generation/supply patterns upon request
Types of demand response

Demand Response in EPBD update
u Proposal for EPBD update COM(2016) 765 u “introduces a smartness indicator to assess the
technological readiness of the building to interact with their occupants and the grid and to manage themselves efficiently”
u “The smartness indicator shall cover flexibility features, enhanced functionalities and capabilities resulting from more interconnected and built-in intelligent devices being integrated into the conventional technical building systems. The features shall enhance the ability of occupants and the building itself to react to comfort or operational requirements, take part in demand response and contribute to the optimum, smooth and safe operation of the various energy systems and district infrastructures to which the building is connected.”

How can DR BOB contribute to EPBD update ?
u DR BOB will
u Provide and validate a method of assessing at least 3 levels of technology readiness (1-no capability, 2-some capability, 3-full capability) related to the technologies required for consumers’ facilities managers, buildings and the local energy infrastructure to participate in the Demand Response Energy Management solution at any given site.
